AirPods are incredibly popular and offer a great way to listen to music, podcasts, and other audio without being tethered to a device. They’re wireless, meaning you don’t need any cables or wires to connect them to your device. In addition, they come with active noise cancellation technology built-in, so you can enjoy your audio without the distraction of surrounding noise.
If you use AirPods with a Mac computer, you can also take advantage of their active noise-cancellation capabilities. Noise cancellation helps to block out background noises like traffic or conversations so that you can focus on what you’re listening to. It works by using special microphones inside the AirPods that detect ambient sounds and then create an “anti-noise” signal that cancels out those sounds.
To activate noise cancellation on your Mac, follow these steps:
1. Open System Preferences by selecting Apple menu > System Preferences from the top menu bar.
2. Select “Sound” from the list of settings on the left side of the window.
3. Click on the “Input” tab at the top of the window and make sure that “AirPods Pro/Studio with Active Noise Cancellation” is selected as your input source (if it isn’t already).
4. Select “Noise Cancellation” from the list of options on the right side of the window (you may need to scroll down).
5. Toggle “Active Noise Cancellation” to On (it should be green when it is active).
6. You should now hear a reduction in background noise when using your AirPods Pro/Studio with your Mac!
You can also enable Automatic Ear Detection on your AirPods if you want them to automatically switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency modes depending on how much ambient noise is detected in your environment. To do this, go back into System Preferences > Sound > Input tab and make sure that Automatic Ear Detection is turned on (it should be green when it is active).
We hope this guide has been helpful in showing how easy it is to enable active noise cancellation for AirPods Pro/Studio with a Mac computer! If you have any additional questions about setting up or using your AirPods with a Mac computer, feel free to contact us for more information!
