Why does my AirPods Pro Transparency Mode keep turning off?

"Custom transparency mode continues to turn off randomly. I have to go into “audio visual” in settings, then “Headphone Accommodations” then scroll to the bottom and turn on “transparency mode”. In this menu are the settings for adjusting external sounds. The transparency mode toggle button here keeps turning off! I’ve reset the AirPods, reset the settings several times but nothing seems to work. Please advise. "


This is a post from when iOS 17 was out. We now have iOS 18 and many AirPods Pro software updates ever since. Apple did not listen. The problem persists. Maybe because we're a minority. I don't know. But I am so dissatisfied with Apple. Not only because of this issue. Anyways, is there anybody having an idea how to fix this? Away from "Remove AirPods and pair them again"?


Thanks you.

I have a theory that Apple Watch is causing this, are all of you guys have an Apple Watch at least added to your devices ?

I’ve been working on this glitch for several years and Apple kindly replaced the AirPods Pro several times before I found out the specific settings that fix this issue.

I’ll summarize below:


Download the MiMi app and find a quiet place to do your Audiogram. Then:


Settings 

Accessibility

Audio and Visual 

Headphones accommodations on

and then choose Audiogram 


Turn  Transparency Mode on then choose Custom Transparency mode and slide amplification to full right. 

Turn Conversation Boost on

You can adjust tone to sharpen up sound but the effect is not great. 

Ambient noise reduction slider doesn’t do much either. 


This fix finally fixes the stability of Transparency Mode which cut out frequently. The volume is a little less than in Fix Number 1 but it is very stable and reliable. 


When you sometimes put your AirPods Pro in your ears the Transparency Mode will not work until you swipe down right to Control Centre and check off Transparency Mode and Conversation Boost. Then it will work perfectly.
