Airpods Pro update 17 has reduce noise cancelling.

I used the Airpods Pro just prior to doing the update and they worked fine, especially on the bus with all the noise in the background. I updated my Airpods Pro to ios 17 and now I hear noise from people talking. I made sure airpods were clean, I made sure the mesh was cleaned, I did all that other people have done with no satisfaction. Made sure that adaptive setting was off with still no satisfaction. I'm not impressed. I specifically purchased these for noise cancelling due to anxiety, and was happy with them until this update. I would like to know what I can do to reverse the update.

I'm devastated at this update, the noise cancellation was so good prior to this update and now it's awful. I barely notice a difference between noise cancellation and transparency and off.


When will this be fixed?


I feel like my $300 purchase is now useless. When I first got these earbuds the noise cancellation was incredible, all the sounds from my neighbours were silenced and now once again I can hear my neighbour's tv and washing machine through the wall.


Why are the earbuds no longer cancelling out these low muffled sounds?


Please please please fix asap.
