hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and if you picked up a pair of AirPods Pro
maybe you're thinking of getting them or maybe you've had them for a while I
wanted to share with you five tips that you may not know or features that you
may not know so the first one is kind of interesting but some of the more
interesting ones are a little bit later in the video but the first one is if we
put just one airpod in our ear and I'll wait for it to pair here if we have just
one in our ear we can set up noise cancellation for just one of them so
maybe we want the right side of our ear to be canceled well if we go into
settings and then we go to accessibility and then we go to air pods under air
pods is noise cancellation with one air pod if we turn that on we will now
cancel the noise in just one air pod and then we can have that one canceled so if
we turn it on here noise cancellation it's now blocking the noise in my right
ear if I turn on transparency it will work in one ear so before you couldn't
do that until you turn on that option now the next hip is pretty interesting
in fact it's pretty simple and straightforward but if you're using the
wireless charging on this case let me show you what I mean if you have a
wireless charger and you put the ear pods pro case on it you'll see that it's
charging now after just a moment that status light will go out if the status
light is out and you want to know if it's fully charged or not just tap the
case and it will show you the status you'll see it's orange if I tap on it
it's an orange light and it will turn green when it's fully charged so it's
just a neat little way to know what the charge status is now before we go on to
the next tip I wanted to share with you a word from our sponsor this video is
brought to you by Backblaze and if you've ever needed to backup a lot of
data you know that it can be very expensive but Backblaze offers unlimited
backup for mac or pc for only $6 a month or $60 a year they've backed up over 800
petabytes of data and have 45 billion files that have been restored over time
there's mobile apps for on-the-go if you'd like to access your data that way
or you can restore by mail using a USB key or a hard drive and have that
shipped to your door you can also purchase a hard drive restore and then
the hard drive back within 30 days to get a full refund that way you don't
have to transfer terabytes of data that you might have stored there on a slow
connection and you can get it all at once if you'd like to try this out
yourself go to Backblaze dot-com slash Zolo for a 15 day trial I'll link it in
the description below and thanks again to back place for sponsoring this video
now the third tip is pretty interesting and also applies to other generations of
air pods as well so this works on the air pods pro as well as the others and
so let me remove the air pod Pro and I'll set it aside for now and then we
need to go into settings on our iPhone then we need to go to control center and
under control center we need to go to customize controls under customize
controls we need to make sure that hearing is there if hearing isn't there
we just need to add it from down below and once it's there now we can use this
feature and what this feature is is we can put our air pods in our ear or just
use one well if we go into the control center we have this little ear icon here
if we tap on this we can turn on what's called live listen and live listen let
me put this one in my ear live listen allows us to listen through the
microphone on the iPhone through our air pods let me turn it back off as it's a
little hard to speak over but what it allows you to do is place your iphone
say 30 feet away or so and it will use the microphone on the iPhone itself to
actually project the sound back into your air pods and this would allow you
to listen maybe in a class where you're having a hard time hearing someone up
front in a college class or maybe high school or something like that and also
you could set it if you're having a hard time hearing a TV from a ways away then
you can hear it directly from the microphone on the iPhone right into your
air pots pro or the other generation air pods I think it's a great feature and
it's something that I think a lot of people may or may not know exists but
it's super helpful if you need to hear something that's a distance away or a
ways away now air pods Pro have a different type of control on them
compared to the original air pods this is a little pressure sensitive button so
you just press and hold it to do different things or double tap it to go
to the next song for example you can control the duration and what this does
we in your phone so if you go into settings
and then you go down to accessibility under accessibility will again go to the
air pods menu and here we can control the actual press speed so maybe you want
to just leave it default you want to slow press it or slowly press it you can
do that you can also change the press and hold duration so you can change it
from short to shorter so if you just want to click it and it does one action
or double click it you can change that if you're having a problem actually
pressing and holding that or clicking it at different speeds so that may be
useful for some people now the fourth tip has to do with controlling your air
pots Pro from your Apple watch if you're not familiar with it you can pair your
air pods or air pods Pro to your Apple watch
that's very simply done just by going to settings if you already have them paired
to your iPhone they should show up here but just go to settings go down to
bluetooth tap on AirPods Pro and make sure they're connected now once they're
connected you can actually control what your AirPods Pro are doing as far as
the noise cancellation and transparency from the Apple watch so on the iPhone
just make sure you're playing some music or maybe a podcast so we'll just make
sure we're playing some music here we've got the music playing and then you'll
see the music is playing on the Apple watch let me turn off Siri and in the
bottom left we have our airplay button if we hit the airplay button we can turn
off noise control turn it off turn on noise cancellation or turn on
transparency we can also send it to a speaker or somewhere else but it's a
really simple way to do this you can press and hold on the control of the air
pods Pro themself or control it directly from the watch now I have one final tip
and that's that you can use your AirPods Pro with any Bluetooth supported
device so maybe you don't have an iPhone and you want to use it with say a pixel
for Excel or an Android phone you can do that so what you need to do is find the
button on the back press and hold this button I'll just open it up for now and
what we're looking for is a blinking white light once we have the blinking
white light we can go to our device that we want to pair it with and pair a new
device and we'll wait for it here and hopefully it shows up but
I have paired it successfully to Android devices there we go it says AirPods pro
and pairing and now it's paired now you won't have all of the features of an
iPhone with the air pods Pro on an Android phone but you will be able to
use it for music and podcasts and also you'll be able to use the cancellation
features by using the button on the side of the air pods Pro themselves and that
is really it those are six different tips hopefully to help you get better
use of your air pods Pro if you have any others that you'd suggest let me know in
the comments below and of course check our sponsor in this description where
you can get a great deal on some backup for your pc and mac and let me know what
you think about that as well if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper
