Block out the noise — or don’t

Updated: Aug 6, 2020

AirPods Pro Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode


AirPods Pro have three noise-control modes: Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode, and Off. You can switch between them, depending on how much of your surroundings you want to hear.


What are Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode?


With Active Noise Cancellation, an outward-facing microphone detects external sounds, which your AirPods Pro then counter with anti-noise, canceling the external sounds before you hear them. An inward-facing microphone listens inside your ear for unwanted internal sounds, which your AirPods Pro also counter with anti-noise.

Transparency mode lets outside sound in, so you can hear what's going on around you. Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode work best when your AirPods Pro fit well.


Switch between noise-control modes


You can switch between noise-control modes right from your AirPods Pro, or you can use your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac.

When using iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, or macOS to switch between noise-control modes, you’ll see Active Noise Cancellation available as Noise Cancellation.
