If you’re in the market for your first set of AirPods, you might be wondering about how to properly care for them and adjust certain settings. Here are some answers to common questions about AirPods.
Do AirPods work with Android devices? Yes, AirPods can be used with non-Apple devices because they use standard Bluetooth technology. However, certain features like Siri integration, ear detection, and customization of shortcuts may not be available. Beats headphones typically offer better compatibility with Android devices.
Can you purchase a single AirPod? If you happen to lose an AirPod, you can buy a replacement for either the right or left AirPod directly from Apple. Keep in mind that AppleCare+ does not cover lost or stolen AirPods, so there will be a cost involved. You can use Apple’s “Get an Estimate” tool to determine the replacement cost.
Why is only one AirPod functioning? If you’re experiencing audio issues with one AirPod, ensure that your charging case is fully charged. Place both AirPods in the case and charge them for about 30 seconds. Check on your iPhone or iPad to verify that both AirPods are charging correctly. If the problem persists, consider resetting your AirPods.
Why isn’t the AirPods case charging? First, check the connections of your AirPods case or AirPods Pro case to ensure they are fully plugged in. Allow the AirPods to charge for at least 15 minutes using an Apple cable. For AirPods Max, charging for a minimum of five minutes is recommended. If the case still doesn’t charge, contact Apple Support for assistance.
If you misplace an AirPod, can you track its location? With AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max, you can use the Find My app to locate your missing AirPod. Make sure the feature is enabled in your device settings. If your AirPod is not nearby, you can get directions to its location via Maps. If your AirPods are offline, you will see their last known location until they come back online.
Is it possible to clean AirPods? Yes, you can clean AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Apple provides additional cleaning instructions based on the type of AirPods you have.
Why won’t AirPods connect to your device? Make sure your Apple devices are updated to the latest software versions, Bluetooth is enabled, and both AirPods are charged. If they still won’t connect, try resetting them by holding the button on the back of the charging case.
How can you eliminate crackling or static sounds on AirPods Pro? Ensure you have the latest software updates, check for wireless interference, and try using a different app for audio playback. If the issue persists, consider the AirPods Pro Service Program for sound problems.
Why isn’t Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) working? Verify that ANC is turned on in your AirPods Pro settings and clean the microphone and speaker to remove any debris. If ANC continues to malfunction, explore Apple’s AirPods Pro Service Program for assistance.
Can you disable Siri Notifications? Yes, you can turn off Siri notifications to prevent interruptions while listening to music or podcasts. Follow the provided instructions to customize your settings accordingly.
