Airpods Pro update 17 has reduce noise cancelling.

This is absolutely true... it is so sad.

When I got my AP1 and AP2, there was true Noise Cancelling. Now, I have to check if I am in Transparency mode, as I can hear everything around it.

Wearing the AirPods Pro was an experience as you were truly isolate from everything...

As I test, I switched from my AP2 to my Bose ones and the difference is MASSIVE!

Not sure if it was with IOS17 or what, but it sucks.

The worst part, is Apple acting like nothing happened.

Came here after googling to find out why the **** I can hear my sons YouTube watching through my AirPods all of a sudden. Also recently updated. Seriously? Unreal.

If you bought at Costco they will refund no time limit.

I have the same issue. The noice cancelling feature was amazing on my airpods pro before this update but now there is almost no noise cancellation.. when will apple realize and fix the issue? I’m very disappointed with this purchase…

Same thing happened to me and my sister. After last update of AirPods, ANC is almost not present at all. I checked all the settings, cleaned the AirPods but to no effect. They basically broke their product. My trust in apple suffered a lot these last few years :(…

Me too happened to me the same I’m bought these the AirPods Pro generation 2 just exactly for the noise cancellation, and after the update of the iOS 17 it made them so bad

It didn't help

Yes, just updated iPhone iOS and suddenly noise cancellation has been negatively affected on my AirPods. Very disappointing

You and I both know that does work. I even removed, forgot and reinstalled and still did not fix it.

The same has happened to me! On updating to IOS 17.3 the ANC is no longer as effective as it previously was! When I listen to podcasts etc I can hear everything around me , some sounds even seem to be amplified! I took my AirPods Pro’s into an Apple Store only to be told there was nothing wrong with them after they apparently did some testing l I hope that this issue get addressed in a firmware update soon !!!

Very disappointed long time Apple product customer and user. I've had the exact issues happening to me as well. The "supervisor" at Apple support denied knowing of ANY issue with noise cancellation and actually went to the point of indicating that we should run a diagnostic report about my phone (14 ProMax)...... are you kidding....you're really seaching for a reason to deny the issue. Well I guess I will return my Air Pods and search for a better product. No I refuse replace my phone because a newer phone was produced.

Very angry and mostly disappointed in Apple service and product.

Hi Krissy,

I bought the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultras, they get the best ratings for noise cancellation in a number of recent reviews. I've had my AirPod Pros for too long now to return, blah. I took them both to the gym and the Bose did a much better job than the jacked up AirPods.

I have been using the Airpods Pro A2084 (1st generation) for a few years without an issue with noise cancellation performing very well.

I opted to purchase the new and improved 2nd generation and find that the active noise cancellation is not as great as the 1st generation. There is increased air pressure in the ear, and a "popping" sound when the Airpods try to cancel out any background noise that is loud. I have tried Apple Support and have purchased 3 different Airpods Pro2 at Costco and returned all 3 due to this issue. I have now purchased 2 of the older 1st generation Airpods Pro from Amazon since Apple cannot get it right with the 2nd generation.

Why ruin a good thing, Apple?

The problem is no matter how shady Apple is, you all (including me) still support Apple by buying their products.

I'm going to buy a pair of Sony earbuds or other brand tonight. Sayonara, Airpods pro.

Hey gerry167,

You did a great job going through those steps on your own. If you haven't yet, we also recommend that you try resetting your AirPods to see if it helps. Here's how:

How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro

1. Put your AirPods in their charging case, and close the lid.

2. Wait 30 seconds.

3. Open the lid of your charging case, and put your AirPods in your ears.

4. Go to Settings > Bluetooth. Or go to Settings > [your AirPods].

* If your AirPods appear there as connected, tap the More Info button  next to your AirPods, tap Forget This Device, then tap again to confirm.

* If your AirPods don't appear there, continue to the next step. 

5. Put your AirPods in their charging case, and keep the lid open. 

6. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for about 15 seconds, until the status light on the front of the case flashes amber, then white.*

7. Reconnect your AirPods: With your AirPods in their charging case and the lid open, place your AirPods close to your iPhone or iPad. Follow the steps on your device's screen.

If the issue persists, we recommend that you reach out to Apple Support team next: Apple Support
