the actual difference graph from rtings for the airpods pro pre/post fireware update is https://www.rtings.com/images/reviews/headphones/apple/airpods-pro/airpo

  Can someone help me interpret these two graphs? The updated one seems to be a lot smoother across the frequency range if a bit less effective on average. Maybe smoother noise cancelling is better in some perceptual way?

    Yeah. I bought them day one with the old firmware and was a bit disappointed that the anc was weaker with high noises as I was used by my sonys. Didn't pay attention to any change when the firmware hit. And if hadn't read about it today, I couldn't have told you that they changed it. But maybe indeed they improved on the first impression I had.

  Something is wrong here. The noise isolation changed pretty dramatically even with ANC off, unless off wasn't previously off. Maybe a seating problem?
