Melomanes find the sound quality of Apple AirPods to be good, with rich bass and very clear in high frequencies. These headphones use a specially designed chip that enhances sound quality, as well as an adaptive equalizer that automatically adjusts the music to suit the shape of the wearer's ear.

The company currently works on future AirPods updates, and a recent patent that appeared on the US Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO) website shows what technology could be used in them.

As reported by GizmoChina, the new headphones can receive a technology called "Measurement of Virtual Listening Environment". Judging by the description of the application, it refers to a mechanism of automatic sound adjustment in headphones, which focuses on the acoustic properties of the area. In the patent description, information can be found about scenarios for listening to music and watching videos in the car, classroom, train, living room and other places.

For such a regulation, according to the source, the headset microphones and their computing units will be involved. The algorithm must determine what area the person is in, measure the acoustic pressure of the area in the ear, and adjust the volume of the audio or video file being played according to these parameters.

Goven most of Apple's patents remain as concepts, it is not yet known whether this particular patent will become a reality or not. However, the idea behind it seems very interesting and innovative, and if it is implemented correctly, it will surely help attract many new customers.
