AirPods Pro Transparency Mode Not Working Properly After Update (Firmware 6A301)

I have been having the same issue with no resolution it seems. Just now I was messing around with the settings on my airpod pro (2nd Gen) and saw that "Loud Sound Reduction" was toggled on. After I toggled it off I could hear outside noises clearly through the bud.

Put your airpods on

Go to your Bluetooth connections

Find your airpods

Press the little "i" icon

Scroll down until you see "Loud Sound Reduction"

Toggle it off

i really hope this helps you because this issue was driving me nuts!

I have the same problem.

I use AirPods pro in transparency mode a lot on my motorcycle. I can hear what is happening around me beautifully. But after the update it is unusable.

Airpods in transparency mode dampen the sounds in the environment, strangely equalize the pressure in the ears, and in addition, sometimes one disconnects and starts to suppress the noise, and the other does the complete opposite.

Sometimes one disconnects and the other plays very quietly.

It's really annoying me, please fix it as soon as possible. I have to sing on the motorbike now and it's impossible to listen to it 😂

Dont you experience loss of Noice canceling during a song ? After the latest update i experience loss of 40-50% of A.N.C and i am very mad about it! Before it was working fine, now i hear a lot of outside noices in the anc selection! 😏
