AirPods Pro 2: Does active noise cancelling fade with time?

Hi Everyone,

I've had my AirPods Pro 2 for several years now.

The active noise cancelling does not seem to be as strong as it once was.

Does the ANC effectiveness fade over time?

Thank you!

Deterioration of Noise Cancellation in AirPods after Firmware Update to 6A300 Product Affected: AirPods Pro (A2084) Firmware Version: 6A300 After updating my AirPods to the latest firmware version (6A300), I have noticed a significant deterioration in the noise cancellation feature. The capability to drown out ambient noise, ranging from high to low frequencies, has been negatively affected. In some instances, the noise cancellation feels so weak that I find myself switching to transparency mode just to verify if the noise reduction is indeed enabled.

Noise Cancellation in Left Airpod My Airpods Pro (2nd Generation) are amazing so far, however, the Noise Cancellation in the left bud isn't as good as the ANC in the right bud. It also seems as though it takes longer for the ANC to "kick in" by about 50ms in the left bud. I bought these about two weeks ago and they're absolutely amazing. My Airpods are on Firmware Update 5B58. Has anyone else had this problem with their Airpods Pro 2?
