7 Live Listen
With Apple’s iOS 12 update, AirPods got a big upgrade by way of a feature called Live Listen. Basically, Live Listen uses a connected iOS device as a type of microphone — piping live audio from the surrounding environment directly to your ears in real time.
First and foremost, Live Listen is an Accessibility feature that can help users hear conversations or speakers in noisy environments or from far away. But it can have additional uses. You can add it to Control Center on iOS, where it’ll be readily accessible, by going to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls and tapping the Hearing icon.
