How’s everyone’s experience been going with the AirPods Beta firmware? Any glitches you’ve noticed? Thoughts on Adaptive mode?
I’ll start off: I straight up don’t understand the point of Adaptive transparency. To me it just feels like a worse performing transparency mode, and doesn’t actually block out any noises I’d want it to. My connection and battery life has been good on the beta though, with pretty much only one major bug I’ve noticed. For a couple of days, one of the AirPods at a time would stop reporting its charge percentage to any devices until I put it in the case for 5 minutes. I’ve reported the bug, but also haven’t seen it again all week.
What about you folks?
I haven’t used my AirPods much since getting the new firmware, but from the little time I used them, it felt good.
It mostly got rid of excessive noise, I noticed this while I was outside and cars passed by. The noise the cars made was diminished, but still just enough for me to be aware.
So far, I think I’ll be using Adaptive mode more often.
