iOS Beta

and doesn't actually block out any noises I'd want it to.

Exactly, I’m experiencing the same thing. Too much noise is coming through… my first instinct was to turn it off.

Hopefully they will finetune it in the next versions.

I think it works mostly fine, some issues with the charging percentages as well, but they sound more balanced in both ears now. Prior my left pod would have less volume to the right.

I really enjoy adaptive mode, I basically just use that. It blocks out all the loud distracting noises for me, like on the bus or while walking, but doesn’t disconnect me from the world of happy birds tweeting etc. I also feel less nauseated while having a slightly higher breath when in motion.

Don’t really know about speech detection, as it is easier for myself, and more respectful to the speaking partner to just take one or both out.

I've found the device switching finally performs like the 'magic' that was promised! Adaptive mode has been pretty disappointing for me, I find that it allows in a lot more background noise than I'd like; I find myself just using Noise Cancellation most of the time still.

As far as bugs go, there have been more than a couple times where my headphones will disconnect temporarily and then reconnect for seemingly no reason. Battery life hasn't seemed to be very impacted so far!
