Apple AirPods with Charging Case and noise cancellation feature Ever since their release a few years ago, AirPods have shot their way up to one of the most popular wireless headphones on the market. Its second iteration, released earlier this year, was an incremental update over its predecessor and offered new features such as “Hey Siri” functionality. However, it appears that the next version may come with a highly-awaited feature in the form of active noise cancellation.
Pieces of code found in the software suggest the new AirPods will have different listening modes, one of which features active noise canceling. Apple AirPods with Charging Case and noise cancellation feature will reportedly be called ‘focus mode’ and can be toggled from within the settings. The new AirPods have the model code B298, and that’s all we know about it for now.Update Rahoo News
Active noise cancellation is usually a feature reserved for higher-end audio gear, and it is more commonplace in wired headphones. Its good to see it finally making its way to wireless earphones as it’ll go a long way in bridging the gap between the two. Yes, wired audio gear is still objectively better than wireless, but with an increasing number of smartphones across both platforms opting to ditch the 3.5mm audio jack, a lot of users have no choice but to opt for wireless alternatives.
Focus mode
That's not all we've learnt about the upcoming Apple earbuds however; after digging into the iOS 13.2 beta code, Update Rahoo discovered references to different listening modes, "with or without noise-canceling".
The listening mode that turns of noise cancelation is called 'focus mode', according to the snippets of code.
