(2nd generation), press and hold the force sensor on either AirPod.

Personalised Volume
Personalised Volume adjusts the media volume on your AirPods Pro (2nd

It learns your listening preferences over time to fine-tune your media volume
in response to your surrounding environment.

Conversation Awareness
When you start talking while you’re wearing your AirPods Pro (2nd
