Apple continues to make its devices somewhat smarter and safer, and the company has typified this by filing for a patent that may or may not see the light of day. The latest filing is about AirPods and apparently, Apple is looking to add some features using its built-in sensors to make it safer for the wearer in different situations.
Based on the patent’s description, the AirPods will have the ability to pause or lower the volume if it feels like you’re entering a space where you need to focus sound in an area.

Most premium earbuds on the market offer reliable noise cancellation support, which can be a boon if you want to isolate music, but there are instances where complete isolation can be dangerous. Apple wants to reduce such incidents and this patented feature could go a long way in keeping people safe with their AirPods.
To do this, the patent reveals, Apple will integrate GPS on the iPhone or Apple Watch into the sensors residing within the AirPods.
So, let’s say you’re entering a heavy traffic area, and the iPhone sends a signal to the AirPods, the earbuds will automatically turn down the volume so that you can hear oncoming traffic and instead let you know when you’re driving or cycling. To help focus. Hymn to the music that rings in your ears.

What’s more, AirPods will smartly turn down the volume of the left or right earbud if you face loud music on one side.
By hearing about these ideas via patent filings, you can see the value of integrating them into the earbuds. Not only does this make sense for AirPods, but other manufacturers may try a similar feature, keeping users safe even when they have their earbuds on.
