AirPods Pro have great features like noise canceling and transparency mode with in-ear design. And to switch between these and other features, the force sensors in the stems of AirPods Pro (and AirPods 3) provide easy control. Read on to learn how to change your AirPods controls, including press speed, press duration, what your left and right force sensors do, and more.
AirPods gen 1 and 2 use double-tap on the earbuds to control. But AirPods Pro and AirPods 3 use a force sensor built into the stem of each earbud.
We’ll look at three ways to switch between noise cancellation, transparency, and off, how to set up force sensors including velocity and pressure duration, and how to enable noise cancellation when using only one AirPod Pro.
We’ll also show you how to set up force sensors on your AirPods 3.
How to Change AirPods Controls
Replacing the Left and Right AirPods Pro/AirPods 3 Force Sensors:
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth. Click the “i” next to your AirPods (make sure they’re connected). In the Press and Hold AirPods section, select Left or Right. Customize what activates the AirPod force sensor. You can also turn “Off” in Noise Controls
Another option at the bottom of this screen is to set up the microphones on your AirPods Pro.
How to change AirPods controls – press speed and duration:
Open Settings, then go to Accessibility. Swipe down and tap AirPods. Adjust the velocity of the tap and the duration of the press and hold to a value other than the default. You can also enable noise cancellation with a single AirPod by turning it on at the bottom of the settings screen.
