Firmware update 4E71 on AirPods Pro made ANC worse.

When I first got my airpods pro, i was impressed with how well the ANC worked. After firmware update 4E71 i noticed the noise cancellation wasn't near as great as it used to be. Funny how an update caused the ANC to become worse and then Apple releases a "new" AirPods pro 2 with claims of 2x better ANC.


I KNOW it used to perform better and many other AirPods pro owners have noticed this as well. I can't help but feel like it was intentional to make the ANC worse in the first gen airpods pros.


Look, Ive always been an Apple fan, I even worked for them for several years. It kills me to say it; Innovation at Apple has slowly been fading away ever since Steve passed. Running out of ideas is one thing, but breaking products that people spent their hard earned money on to sell new products....shady. Fix it!

My AirPods Pro 2 have done the same thing. It was the first thing I noticed after the update. When I first listened to them I thought the ANC was a great improvement. Really mediocre now.
