Conversation Boost for AirPods Pro helps you better hear conversations in crowded or noisy environments. Through computational audio and beamforming microphones, Conversation Boost focuses AirPods Pro on the voice of the person directly in front of you, making it easier to distinguish speech and follow along in face‑to‑face conversations.
I have AirPods Pro's and they are very disappointing. My pair of $500 hearing aids are far superior. The AirPods provide no gain for external sound, and not nearly enough equalization to compensate for hearing loss. The "beam forming" effect is nearly non-existent. I have a pair of Bose Hearphones (sadly no longer sold), and those really had effective directional capability.
Apple has all the tech needed to get this done, even in their existing product. I'm hopeful they will now feel they can release it. All I need is compression (amplification of soft sounds without over-amplification of loud sounds), equalization, and an app that allows me to make the necessary adjustments - with separate controls for exterior sound and the iOS audio chain.
I'm betting they'll come up with something "good enough" eventually. The pending Pro supposedly has significantly improved audio capabilities so that may help make it happen.
Yeah same this is one thing about Miami that is a bit obnoxious, I'm just minding my own business blowing off steam at happy hour somewhere and like so many normal city bar type spots have like a DJ set up and I wanna be like "hello sir or madam, my phone decibel meter indicates that this is way too loud." ~points to spectrogram on phone screen flashing 97~
