Apple Airpods Pro 2 - useful in conversation?

I am the profound owner of a pair of Pro 2, and I can tell you, in my particular case, it is not an option. Running many tests, the Pro 2 was not helpful when driving to the gym and conversing with my wife.

I think there are a couple of misplaced function concepts here. For example, we got so amazed when we got to know about the audiogram in the Apple AirPods, and immediately we speculated that Airpods are cheap HAIDs. It doesn’t work that way. The audiogram in Airpods, I think, is intended to produce a better experience while listening to music, Apple music, more specifically. That is it, not to create a better experience in conversation.

The adaptive feature, for me, points to an interaction between my listening to music and when any external sound in my environment. To me, it appears as if Apple AirPods is working hard to improve the interaction for music.

However, I use them a lot. At the gym, my HAIDs cannot compete with the gym environment’s music, which is too loud. But my Apple AirPods 2 keeps that rebellious music system at bay.

Noise cancelation at the gym. That is the only time Pro 2 replaces my HAIDs.
