AirPods Pro 2 firmware update ruined the ANC

By SarahKim · ISSUE · About AirPods Pro 2

After the latest firmware update (7B520) the Active Noise Cancellation on my AirPods Pro 2 is noticeably worse. I'm hearing way more ambient noise than before, especially low-frequency sounds like AC units and traffic. Is anyone else experiencing this? I've tried resetting them, re-pairing, everything. Nothing helps. Apple really needs to let us roll back firmware updates. This is unacceptable for $250 earbuds.

SarahKim: Are they even aware of this? Their social media is dead silent.

NeonFlux225: This is getting ridiculous. How is this not fixed yet?

StormPulse179: Filed a bug report. Everyone should do the same to get this prioritized.

DigitalHawk9933: Have you tried resetting to factory settings? That fixed it for me.

StormVibe941: PSA: downgrading to version 3.2 fixes this. Not ideal but works.

HappyFox759: This is a dealbreaker. Literally unusable when this happens.
