The AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro were numerous at the foot of the trees for this Christmas. Back to the flagship features of the headphones.
Christmas has just passed and many people have had the right to AirPods or AirPods Pro under the tree. While Apple’s wireless headphones are intuitive, they do have some little-known little solutions to make life easier for users.
Des AirPods localisables
The first thing to do when unboxing AirPods for the first time is to take your iPhone and the “Find” application. The new AirPods 3 and Airpods Pro 2 have a special feature. In particular, it allows you to use the “Notify When Left Behind” option. Thanks to it, it is almost impossible to lose your AirPods. This option also works with Apple’s headphones, the Airpods Max. If the AirPods are forgotten, they then start ringing to notify of their presence.
Switch from iPhone to Mac, without a click
The second thing to do when you receive your AirPods on Christmas Day is to connect them to all your Apple devices. Once the connection is established, it is possible with the option « automatic device switching » to switch from one device to another without having to make the slightest gesture. The AirPods will detect several signals (a Mac and an iPhone for example) and choose the closest solution. It is therefore enough to move in space to test this functionality.
The user has several settings within the option to make it work according to his desires, certain changes of devices are not wanted, for a rather confusing rendering to the ears.
Hear his messages
Third tip for new AirPods owners, the “announce notification” feature. In the settings of the iPhone, you have to go to the “notifications” sub-section and then finally to announce the notifications. This option, however, only appears when the AirPods are connected to the phone. It allows you to “read” received messages and other notifications by Siri directly in the headphones.
The battery in three versions
Penultimate solution very useful for the owners of AirPods, the follow-up of the battery of these. This data is displayed each time the headphones are connected, but it is also possible to keep an eye on the battery of the headphones with a widget on the home screen. Last solution to keep informed regarding the battery of your AirPods: Siri.
Spatial audio: the ultimate option for AirPods
Ultimate solution for AirPods, Spatial Audio. Available with AirPods 3, Airpods Pro and Airpods Max, this feature offers three-dimensional sound reproduction. To activate this option, just go to the control center. By pressing the volume bar, the audio spatial option appears at the bottom. Just click on the small button on the screen to display a submenu. Three options are thus available “off” “headed” “fixed”.
