AirPods Pro Beta Firmware — no accommodations in transparency

I got the first AirPods Pro Beta Firmware installed, version 4A305j.

I used to use my AirPods Pro in Headphone Accommodation mode, with amplification on in Transparency mode — like basic hearing aids.

With this new firmware update, I no longer have headphone accommodation settings available in transparency mode — only phone and media.

Is this expected or a bug? I filed as a bug, but I'm deeply curious.

  • I see the announcement for the second beta, and being curious, I connected my iPhone to my Mac, opened Xcode, opened the Developer settings on my iPhone, tapped to Prerelease Beta Firmware... only to discover that my AirPods Pro was off / disabled. I tapped to enable them again, and the Settings app crashed. I rebooted the iPhone and the Mac, tried again, same result.
