**The Latest Updates to AirPods Pro and iOS 18**

As we explore the latest updates to Apple's popular earbuds, it becomes clear that there have been significant improvements made to the experience. For instance, when using AirPods Pro with voice isolation on, one can hear a truck driving by just feet away from them. This highlights the advanced noise-cancellation technology built into these earbuds.

However, without the voice isolation feature, the sound of the truck is much more pronounced. This illustrates how the airpads' noise-cancellation abilities play a crucial role in creating a more immersive listening experience. Furthermore, Apple has added gaming mode to iOS 18, which helps improve gaming performance by reducing background tasks and maintaining high frame rates. Additionally, this feature can reduce latency with gaming controllers and AirPods.

Another exciting development is the upgrade to in-game chat audio, which is now captured at 16 bits or 48 kHz Plus for gamers. Moreover, Apple has introduced a new personalized spatial audio API that games can utilize to create an even more immersive experience. This feature will undoubtedly enhance gameplay and overall entertainment.

For those concerned about hearing loss, AirPods Pro now offer active hearing protection, which listens to the environment and makes adjustments 48,000 times per second to prevent loud noises from causing damage. Moreover, Apple is introducing a new clinical-grade hearing test that can be taken from home using the earbuds. This feature plays tones through the earbuds, and users simply need to tap on the screen when they hear these tones, which are then recorded into the Health app.

One of the most significant updates, however, is the ability for AirPods Pro 2 to act as a clinical hearing aid for mild to moderate hearing loss. After completing a hearing test, if necessary, AirPods Pro can assist individuals with hearing issues. Apple has just received FDA approval for this feature, which means it will soon be available in iOS 18.1.

The update process for AirPods Pro is relatively straightforward. To update, users simply need to place the earbuds in their charging case and position them within range of their iPhone. The earbuds should then connect and update on their own; however, this may not happen immediately, so patience is required.

**More Features Coming with iOS 18**

In addition to these updates for AirPods Pro, iOS 18 brings a multitude of other features that will enhance the user experience. One such feature includes improved gestures for Siri, making it easier to interact with the virtual assistant. Furthermore, Apple has added various other features, including low latency gaming mode, which helps reduce lag and improve overall gaming performance.

The release of these updates highlights the value of investing in high-end earbuds like AirPods Pro. Despite being released in 2022, these earbuds continue to receive significant software updates, demonstrating Apple's commitment to improving their products. With features like active hearing protection, clinical-grade hearing tests, and personalized spatial audio, it's clear that the second-generation AirPods Pro are a significant step forward in terms of technology.
