3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Noise Control Modes

AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) offer three noise control modes:

  • Active Noise Cancellation: Blocks out external sound.
  • Transparency Mode: Allows you to hear your surroundings while listening to audio.
  • Adaptive Audio: Dynamically blends Transparency Mode and Active Noise Cancellation based on your environment.

To switch between modes, press and hold the force sensor on the stem of either AirPod. You can also control these modes from the Control Center on your Apple device or in the AirPods settings.

The force sensor on the stem of each AirPod allows for various controls:

  • Press once: Play/pause audio, answer a call.
  • Press twice: Skip forward.
  • Press three times: Skip back.
  • Press and hold: Switch between Noise Control modes.

3.3 Volume Control

Swipe up or down gently on the stem of either AirPod to adjust the volume. You can also use your connected device's volume controls or Siri.

3.4 Using Siri

Say "Hey Siri" to activate Siri and ask questions, make calls, control your music, and more. You can also configure the press-and-hold action on the force sensor to activate Siri instead of switching noise control modes.

3.5 Find My Feature

If you misplace your AirPods Pro or charging case, you can use the Find My app on your Apple device to locate them. The charging case has a built-in speaker that can play a sound to help you find it.
