When you start speaking, Conversation Awareness automatically lowers the volume of what you’re listening to and amplifies the voices in front of you — helping you stay connected and making conversations feel natural. And when you’re done talking, your music seamlessly returns to its previous volume. Loud Sound Reduction and Personalized Volume. On by default in Transparency and Adaptive Audio listening modes, Loud Sound Reduction automatically helps reduce louder environmental sounds while preserving the audio quality. And Personalized Volume7 learns to adjust your volume across different environments over time, ensuring the perfect listening experience no matter where you are.
