Second AirPods Pro Firmware Beta Adds Conversation Boost

I reinstalled the profile just in case but it still crashes to the homescreen when enabling beta software in developer settings, even after resetting the AirPods. I wonder if we'll have to wait for a new iOS 15 beta or it wont crash when the update is actually released?
I've been having an issue on my phone where I can't turn on install pre-release firmware for AirPods thru developer part of settings. I've restarted Mac, phone, etc. Anyone else with this issue? I'm on latest iOS 15, Monterey, etc. I'd rather not reset all settings, if possible. might be IOS 15 beta related, too

Ok I finally managed to install the update after 2 days of trying, my AirPods didn’t want to update at all even though I had the beta firmware setting enabled. Turns out I had to reset all settings of my iPhone once again because the airpods showing up in developer settings weren’t the right ones (and it was stuck that way no matter what, even when I unpaired, forget device or reinstalled profile). Once I did that I paired the airpods as new ones and did the install process from the beginning. I now have the 4A362b firmware.
Now all I had to do is restore from a backup I made prior to that and Conversation Boost is working perfectly!
However even after restoring from backup I do still have the settings crashing when I enable beta firmware in developer settings, so that will require a new iOS 15 beta for sure.

Beta 5 released today solves the problem for me of the developers app crashing when you try to reenable install prerelease beta firmware on AirPods Pro.
Has anyone had trouble with the AirPods beta? Since it's not reversible, I've been nervous. Smooth sailing?
I just got the firmware updated tonight. Can you tell me where you went to enable Conversation Boost? I can't find it anywhere.
NVM, found it:
Settings-Accessibilty-Airpods-Audio Accessibility settings-Headphone accommodations-Transparency Mode
Could have been a little more obvious but hey, just glad I got it working! I'm excited to try it with actual conversations tomorrow but it really does seem amplify sounds quite a bit. I'm just concerned that it will amplify everything including background noise like a TV and thereby lessen the functionality of hearing conversations better.
I honestly wish it had options while listening to music or anything it would boost audio conversation if you are talking to someone so you can actually hear what they say without pausing or taking off the airpods
Hi @bbates123 , @Jutah , @votdfak , @DeftwillP
I am watching this thread with huge interest - by the beard of Zeus could Apple have finally fixed this?? So many people will be super happy if they have, a glass case of emotion!
See my thread with the description of APP microphone problem, and also example video of the problem (not my video but a YouTuber) here:
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/airpods-pro-microphone-scandal-edit-proof.2282717/
You will also see the thread is somewhat entertaining as folks jump on to deny there is a problem, leading to fun hi jinks.
Meanwhile, on your thread, you are actually getting down to business and exploring the hell out the beta - something I am not skilled enough to do - kudos and thanks all. Fingers crossed!!

Yes, the problem is definetely there. No doubt about it. Forget about a fix from apple. After over a year we can't hope for that. The only thing we can hope for is the new "mic modes" that comes with ios15: unfortunately this modes are only for facetime calls 🙄 but if they extend it to the voice calls it could do the trick.
I think it'll be separate, but could potentially be contemporaneous. Hoping.
Here for the same reason. Now with iOS15 released yesterday. When will the new firmware for Airpods Pro be released?
Could it be just ”update now”? it would be much easier for most of us…
