Pairing with Your Device

  1. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch).
  2. Open the charging case with your AirPods Pro inside, and hold it next to your iOS device.
  3. A setup animation will appear on your device's screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect.
  4. For other Bluetooth devices, open the case, press and hold the setup button on the back of the case until the status light flashes white, then select "AirPods Pro" from your device's Bluetooth settings.

Ear Tip Fit Test

For optimal audio quality and noise cancellation, it's crucial to have a good seal. Your AirPods Pro come with three sizes of silicone ear tips (small, medium, large). You can perform an Ear Tip Fit Test on your iOS device (Settings > Bluetooth > AirPods Pro > Ear Tip Fit Test) to determine the best fit for your ears.

Operating Your AirPods Pro

Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode

AirPods Pro offer two primary listening modes:

  • Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): Blocks out external noise, allowing for an immersive audio experience.
  • Transparency Mode: Allows you to hear your surroundings while still enjoying your audio, useful for staying aware of your environment.

To switch between modes, press and hold the force sensor on the stem of either AirPod Pro. You can also control these modes from your iOS device's Control Center or Settings.

Audio Sharing

With Audio Sharing, you can share an audio stream from your iOS device to two sets of AirPods or Beats headphones. Simply bring the second pair of headphones near your device and follow the on-screen prompts.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your AirPods Pro

Regular cleaning helps maintain sound quality and hygiene. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe down your AirPods Pro and the charging case. For ear tips, remove them from the AirPods and rinse with water. Allow them to dry completely before reattaching.

Battery Care

To maximize battery lifespan, avoid exposing your AirPods Pro to extreme temperatures. Charge them regularly, even if not in constant use. The case provides multiple charges for your earbuds on the go.

Troubleshooting

  • AirPods not connecting: Ensure Bluetooth is on. Place AirPods in the case, close the lid, wait 15 seconds, then open. If issues persist, try resetting them.
  • Sound issues (low volume, distortion): Check ear tip fit. Clean ear tips and speaker meshes. Ensure your device's volume is up.
  • Resetting AirPods Pro: With AirPods in the case and the lid open, press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for about 15 seconds until the status light flashes amber, then white. Re-pair with your device.
