Today, I’m talking about how to set up your new AirPods Pro with iOS 14. If you haven’t yet, make
sure to upgrade to Apple iOS 14 to take full advantage of all the features I’ll discuss in this tutorial.
First let’s talk about Bluetooth pairing. You can use your AirPods
Pro with Apple iOS or other Bluetooth enabled devices. To pair with an iPhone,
just open the case next to your iPhone and it will guide you through the paring process.
The AirPods Pro are automatically paired now to work with any other device in your iCloud account.
So if you have another iPhone or iPad, your AirPods Pro will work with them as well.
To pair to other non-Apple Bluetooth devices, open the case and press and
hold the button on the back of the case until the light on front flashes white. Select your
AirPods Pro under the Bluetooth menu of your device. You can enjoy music and phone calls,
but you won’t have access to Siri or the features specific to iOS 14 that I’ll discuss today.
You can control the AirPods Pro with the force sensor on either stem on the device.
If you receive a phone call, answer it with one press of the force sensor.
To play or pause music, press once. To skip forward, press two times.
To skip back, press three times. You can change the volume with Siri,
with the volume control on your phone, or with the digital crown on an Apple Watch.
Press and hold either stem to switch between transparency mode and noise cancellation.
You can also access this under the volume control in the iOS Control Center.
Press and hold on the volume bar, and a new menu will open so you can change these settings.
You can charge your AirPods Pro with the included lightening to USB-C cable
or using a Qi (or "chee") wireless charger.
Tap the case to see the charging level. You
will see an amber light when charging and a green light when fully charged.
The battery level is displayed when you open the case near your iPhone. It is also visible with
the battery widget. If you have an Apple Watch, swipe up and click on the battery percentage to
also see the AirPods Pro battery level. You can also find out your battery level by asking Siri.
Your iPhone will also notify you when you have a charge of 20, 10,
or 5 percent battery life left. AirPods Pro will play a sound to notify you when
your battery level is at 10 percent and again just before they shut off.
Additional features are available under Settings - Bluetooth - AirPods Pro - and click on the i icon
First, you can change the AirPods Pro display name to whatever you want.
You can change the noise control settings here as well.
You can change the function of the stems under Press and Hold AirPods.
This allows you to switch between noise control and Siri activation. You also
have the option to access Siri on one side and noise control on another side if you’d like.
The Ear Tip Fit Test helps you select the ear tip with the best seal by playing music in your
ears. The ear tip that prevents enough sound leakage from the ear is recommended by the test.
Automatic ear detection will automatically play your music when your AirPods Pro are in your ears
and pause the music when you remove them.
Spatial audio can also be enabled in this menu. Spatial audio recreates a surround
sound audio experience for compatible TV and movie content. The location of sounds around
you are adjusted depending on the position of your head and the position of your phone.
Under microphone you can select which AirPods Pro microphone is active.
You can have either side or both sides active. This is helpful if
you prefer to have only one AirPod Pro in your ear when you’re taking a phone call.
Live listen turns your iPhone into a wireless microphone. You can then place
your iPhone next to someone you’re speaking to or even next to the TV to hear it better.
To access this feature go to Settings- Control Center- More Controls - add hearing.
Now you can go to your Control Center and click on the ear to access it. Turn live listen on.
Headphone Accommodations in Apple iOS 14 gives you the option to run an in-the-ear
calibration to customize how your AirPods Pro play sound. You can emphasize speech sounds
for better clarity and understanding using custom transparency mode. This is similar to
what a hearing aid can do. You can access this feature under Settings- Accessibility- Hearing-
Audio/Visual- Headphone Accommodations- Custom Audio Setup.
I still recommend that anyone with hearing concerns see a local audiologist or a physician
for an evaluation and a hearing aid consultation if it's appropriate.

If you want to further customize how the AirPods Pro's controls work,
go to Settings - Accessibility - Physical and Motor - AirPods. Here you can change the
control press speed or press and hold duration, you can activate noise cancellation with one
AirPod, or change how spatial audio functions. There is also is a link to audio accessibility
settings which gives you control over the headphones accommodations, mono audio,
phone noise cancellation, left/right balance, and LED flash for alerts.
If you have multiple Bluetooth devices paired to your Apple iOS device,
you can click on the Airplay icon to switch between devices.
If you have two pairs of AirPods, you can share audio.
This allows you to listen to the same audio from two pairs of AirPods at the same time.
So for today’s question, how do you like your AirPods Pro,
