I can still hear voices while using Active Noise Cancellation on my AirPods Pro 2nd generation

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the AirPods Pro (2nd generation). Why doesn’t the Active Noise Cancellation seem as strong as it used to be? I’ve heard it was excellent at blocking out noises—especially people’s voices—but now it feels weaker, almost like it’s been “nerfed.”

I’ve noticed this myself too; I can clearly hear people talking even when ANC is on. I’ve tried switching between Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode, then back again, but it didn’t help.

Has anyone else experienced this or found a fix?
