Just upgraded from AirPod 2s to Pro3s. From what I’ve been reading adaptive mode is Apple’s recommended listening mode. However, long pressing the pro 3s will toggle them between transparent mode and ANC only.

If I go for a run or cycle I’m best off changing them to transparent mode so I’m aware of what’s around me. Frustratingly though to change back to Adaptive mode I then have to go back into the AirPod settings on iPhone to re-select Adaptive mode each time. Am I missing something here, is there logic behind why pressing the AirPods doesn’t toggle all modes? Or do those that use Adaptive mode just leave it on all the time?
