Conversation Awareness is a feature for Apple AirPods that makes it easier to hold a conversation while listening to music or other audio such as a podcast or audiobook. It is an adaptive audio feature that detects conversations and adapts to them by lowering the volume of the audio and enhancing the voice or voices in front of the user while reducing background noise. Conversation Awareness will remain on throughout a conversation and will slowly increase the audio volume once it no longer detects conversation for a couple of seconds. This feature is only available on the AirPods Pro 2nd Generation and requires updating the AirPods to the latest firmware. To enable Conversation Awareness, users can go to Control Center, long press the volume slider, tap Conversation Awareness, and start speaking.
