The truth is that the new third generation AirPods are being observed with a magnifying glass after their presentation and it is no wonder. We knew for a long time the design of these new Apple headphones that we can say They are "a mix" between AirPods and AirPods Pror. They do not have silicone rubber on the in-ear part but they do add the design of the Pro.
On the other hand, these headphones add improved ear detection, spatial audio and integrated fast charging, among many other novelties, but do not have the new Conversation Boost function active. For those who do not know what exactly this function is, we can briefly summarize that it is a technology that uses the microphones incorporated in the headphones and allows us to hear a person in front of us in a perfect way isolating the noise around us.
This function that was activated at the beginning of this month of October in the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max through a firmware update, is not available in the new headphones presented last Monday. On the official website of Apple does not indicate this function by any site and the research firm TrendForce, also indicates that it is not added in them.
It may be that since they are not headphones that completely isolate the user from the outside, they can talk to another person with them on without problem, only by lowering the volume of the music, podcast or whatever is being listened to. The AirPods Pro or AirPods Max do isolate us a little more from the outside Although we do not use noise cancellation, and this is logically due to the way they are placed in our ears, so the Conversation Boost function is more useful and necessary in them.
The truth is that having this function active can help us a lot at specific times of the day. Must take off the headset to start a conversation Punctual is simple, but if we have this active function it is much more comfortable. At the moment it seems that the AirPods 3 will not carry it.
