Ask HN: Why haven't we seen AI enhanced AirPods microphone yet?

1•ryeguy_24•1h ago
Wouldn’t Apple be able to train a model that with AirPods mic recording vs high-quality mic recording to effectively upconvert the poor mic audio into higher quality audio.

I desperately want this feature to improve my audio on work calls all day long. Right now there is an unbelievable difference in quality between AirPods mics and sub 200 dollar wired mics.

There's a lot of reasons. The largest reason though is that an Airpods mic consumes ~100x less power than the $200 XLR mic and therefore needs a 100x lower impedence microphone. The low-detail recordings are a feature, not a bug.
