I use AirPods Pro 3 all day, every day while I work, and there’s one hidden iOS tool that I’ve found pairs perfectly with the product: it’s a little-known feature called Background Sounds.
Background Sounds + AirPods Pro 3 is my daily work setup
After more than half a year with AirPods Pro 3, I’ve been loving the latest update. My initial problems with fit discomfort were ultimately resolved, leaving me able to enjoy the product’s many strengths.
One of my favorite features is the better-than-ever Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). Whenever I’m working, there’s always plenty of noise that needs to be cut out to aid my focus. When I’m at home, that’s my toddler running around, and if I’m out, there’s the chatter of a coffee shop.
I’ve long paired AirPods Pro’s noise cancelling features with white noise apps to cut out distractions. But over the last year or so, my favorite way to do that has been with a built-in iOS feature.
