7 ways to get the most out of AirPods
7 ways to get the most out of AirPods

1. Check the charge level in different ways

There are four options:

  • Just open the case next to the iPhone. A notification will appear on the screen indicating the charge of the case and headphones.
  • Add the "Batteries" widget. Now the charge of all devices is visible on the first screen of the iPhone.
  • Ask Siri. It is convenient if the voice assistant is called by double tap on the earpiece.
  • Use Apple Watch. Swipe up on the home watch screen and tap on the first percent icon. Apple Watch will show the headphone charge level.

2. Teach the headphones to pronounce the name of the caller

Go to the settings, find the item "Phone", click on "Call announcements" and select "Headphones only". Now when someone calls you, Siri will say the caller's name.

3. Connect AirPods to Android Devices

Put the headphones in the case, open the lid and hold down the only button on the case. When the AirPods light flashes, the headphones can be found on any Bluetooth-enabled device. True, some functions will still work only in conjunction with Apple technology.

4. Assign convenient headphone tap commands

The only way to control AirPods is by double-tapping the headphones. Initially, both of them are set to call Siri, but this can be changed. For example, pause one earpiece and skip to the next track on the other.

To assign commands, go to Bluetooth settings and select the connected AirPods there.

5. Search for your lost earbuds with Find My iPhone

If the earbud falls out and you can't find it, use the Find My iPhone app. You will see AirPods on the map and can even make the earbud beep.

6. Charge the earbuds one at a time

If you really need your headphones right now and your AirPods are down, recharge one and use it while the other is charging. So you quickly replenish the device's charge and spend the minimum amount of time without headphones.

7. Make ear pads for AirPods

To make ear pads for AirPods, you will need:

  • 16-18mm ear pads from AliExpress;
  • needle;
  • thin marker;
  • lighter.

Place the ear pads on the AirPods, mark the holes in the headphones with a marker, heat the needle, and push the holes in the ear pads.

Ready! AirPods now sound slightly different and fit tighter in the ear canal.
