Since we're on the topic of the Airpods noise cancellation, does anyone know why Apple doesn't let you enable noise cancelling with only one Airpod in? Is it just that they're worried about the pressure imbalance causing discomfort?


You can enable this through the Accessibility settings. It makes sense to be the default but I’m glad they made this configurable.


Oo that's very good to know, thank you! I give it a 50% chance I try it out and hate it but very glad it's an option.


Another comment told you how to change this behavior, but I heard someone rationalize the default behavior as taking out one earbud can signal you're trying to talk to someone so it disables noise cancelation so you can hear them with both ears.
