After my AirPods Pro auto-update to firmware 2B588 the noise cancelling suddenly become very weak, almost no difference from Off mode and Noise cancel mode.
Reset the AirPods Pro fix it for few minutes, then it got auto-update and noise cancelling capability got reduced again.
If Apple reduce the noise cancelling function then AirPods Pro is simple lost it’s point, I don’t understand why Apple do this.
Hi kellyNYC, 2B588 is the one that changed the ANC. So you have not gotten a chance to experience what the ANC really was like on the older firmware 2B584... It was much more powerful then.
But since yours is currently 2B588, try connecting them to your iPhone, put them in their case and plug them into power (Lightning port) and see if they will update to 2C54... When they do, see if you notice any difference with the ANC.
The new 3A283 firmware today combined with the iOS 14 GM build is definitely the closest we’ve had to getting the original ANC strength back. It’s noticeably better for me.
