AirPod max microphone

Hi CuriousEdd,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

Re: "AirPod max microphone: I work in a noisy environment

and lot of times I need to make a phone call."

"when I talk with the AirPod max no one on the other line can hear me because of the background noise"

Wondering if you have tried out the "modes" that are available:

AirPods Pro and AirPods Max Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode - Apple Support

Re: "Is there a way where I can hook up an external mic to the AirPod max where the lightning cable goes for better background noice reduction? "

Sorry, I do not know.

Hello, I have the same issue, and I don't think the response above has helped or answered the original query, it isn't about blocking sounds for my audio experience, it is that the Mics on the airpods Max are picking up EVERY bit of background noise around me so that everyone else on my call can hear that, which is both annoying and means sometimes they struggle to pick out my voice.
