Connect, Clean & Enjoy Your Earbuds

Safely Clean Your AirPods

The AirPods are sweatproof, but that doesn't mean they are waterproof. Only the AirPods Pro earbuds are considered water resistant and absolutely none of the charging cases are considered water resistant. To clean your AirPods and charging case, use two soft, lint-free cloths. Lightly dampen one cloth with fresh water and carefully wipe your AirPods. Then dry them with the other cloth. Do not use the AirPods or put them in their charging case until they are completely dry.

Customize AirPods Touch Controls

By default, double tapping either of the regular AirPods skips to the next song. If you want to choose a different action for your AirPods, go to Settings, Bluetooth, and then select the info icon next to your AirPods. This option lets you customize the action for both the right and left AirPod so you can activate Siri, toggle play/pause, or go to the previous track instead. If you have the AirPods Pro, you will see different customization options (see next page for more information.)

Control Volume

Unfortunately, you cannot increase or decrease volume using the AirPods touch controls. However, there are workarounds. If you have an Apple Watch, you can adjust the volume by rotating the Digital Crown while the Now Playing screen appears on your watch screen. Another option is to use “Hey Siri” or activate Siri (see tip on touch controls) and ask Siri to increase or decrease the volume or set it at a percentage of total volume capacity.

Tweak Your Listening Experience

Do you need to tweak the leftright balance of your AirPods? Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual to find and adjust the left versus right mix. If you want to customize the overall sound style of your AirPods, again from the Settings app, select Music, then EQ (for Equalizer) and choose from one of many variations such as Acoustic, Base Booster, Classical,

R&B, and more.
