• Apple launches its AirPods Pro with active noise reduction

Here is the video tutorial produced by Apple to discover the different options for setting AirPods Pro:

Change the action when you tap twice on one of your airpods

Select the left or right airpod on the AirPods settings screen before selecting the action when you tap the chosen earpiece twice:

• Call on Siri to manage your audio content, modify the volume or perform any type of action compatible with Siri
• Start taking a break or stop reading your audio content
• Launch the next song
• Return to the previous song

Establish the microphone option on the left, right or automatically

Each earpiece, each airpod, has a microphone to be able to make telephone calls or call on Siri. By default, the microphone is automatic so that each of your airpods acts as a microphone. If you wear only one airpod, it will naturally serve as a microphone.

It is also possible to customize the microphone option on always left or always right. In this way the microphone will be configured on the listener on the left or on the right earphone. Even when you remove it from your ear or when it is installed in the case, the configured airpod will serve as a microphone.

Change the action by holding your finger on one of the AirPods Pro

Airpods pro headphones have three noise control modes: transparency, active noise reduction and deactivation. By default, keeping your finger on the sensor placed on the stem of your Airpod Pro left or right, the headphones go from the active reduction of noise to transparency mode. In settings, it is easy to change one of the three noise control modes according to your needs. By keeping your finger on one of your Pro Airpods, here is how to change the noise control mode:

1. Go to the AirPods Pro settings.
2. Keep your finger on the airpods, touch the one left or the right, then check that the noise control option is selected.
3. Choose the two or three noise control modes to use when you hold your finger on one of the Pro Airpods. If in the settings you have configured your two pro AirPods so that they can change noise control mode, the modifications you make to the settings with long support for an AirPod Pro also apply to the second AirPod Pro.

It is also possible to modify long support settings to use Siri with the AirPods Pro. On the screen of the settings of your pro AirPods, choose left or right, then select Siri. For example, you can use an airpod for Siri and the other to change noise control mode. Practical no ?

Activation or deactivation of automatic ears detection

Airpods detect by default if they are placed in your ears and your device diffuses sound there. As you may have noticed, the Airpods resume reading or pause it when you remove one of the headphones. Another possibility: they stop reading when you remove the two airpods.

When automatic ears detection is activated, without you carrying your airpods, the speakers of your device diffuse the sound. Conversely, if you deactivate automatic ears detection, these features are disabled and the sound is diffused by the AirPods, whether you wear them or not.

Rename your airpods

Finally, to rename your airpods, press the current name. Then enter the new name of your airpods and press finished.
