To access settings for your AirPods, you don't directly "press" settings on the AirPods themselves. Instead, you access the settings through your connected device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac). Here's how:
Accessing AirPods Settings on iPhone or iPad:
-
Open the Settings app: Locate and open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
-
Navigate to Bluetooth: Scroll down and tap on "Bluetooth."
-
Find Your AirPods: In the list of Bluetooth devices, locate your AirPods. Ensure they are connected to your device.
-
Tap the "i" Icon: Next to your AirPods name, you'll see a small "i" icon (for information). Tap on this icon.
-
AirPods Settings: This will take you to the settings page specifically for your AirPods. Here, you can customize various options such as:
- Name: Change the name of your AirPods.
- Double-Tap Actions: Customize what happens when you double-tap either AirPod (e.g., Siri, play/pause, skip tracks).
- Automatic Ear Detection: Enable or disable automatic ear detection.
- Microphone: Choose which AirPod to use as the microphone.
- Noise Control (for AirPods Pro and Max): Adjust noise cancellation or transparency mode.

Accessing AirPods Settings on a Mac:
-

-
Open System Preferences: Go to the Apple menu and choose "System Preferences."
-
Select Bluetooth: In System Preferences, click on "Bluetooth."

Options or Details: Depending on your macOS version, you might see an "Options" button or need to right-click (or Control-click) on your AirPods and select "Details..." or "Options."
-
AirPods Settings: This will open the settings window where you can adjust options similar to those available on iPhone/iPad.
Essentially, you use the Bluetooth settings of your paired Apple device to configure your AirPods.
