Among the features of the AirPods Pro, the noise canceling function is a function that blocks external sounds such as white noise when listening to music or other listening activities. Noise canceling technology, which started as a technology to reduce aircraft noise, has improved its performance to the point where it can be called battery-powered earplugs, effectively blocking external sounds. For noise canceling applied to AirPods Pro, you can select noise canceling active mode, ambient sound acceptance mode, or off. In addition, since the left and right touch settings of the AirPods Pro can be individually selected, the noise canceling and Siri conversion settings can be selected at the user’s discretion.

Principle of blocking external noise
Noise canceling started with the development of external noise blocking technology for passengers in airplanes, but has now advanced so much that it is installed in earphones. If the sound wave is sent in the opposite direction of the external noise, the external noise wave and the reverse wave cancel each other inside the earphone, and the external noise is blocked through your eardrum, so you can hear a clear sound source.
