On iPhone, with AirPods 3 or later, AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max, you can adjust the accessibility settings to suit your mobility or hearing needs. You can change the press speed and how long you press and hold, and with AirPods Pro, even use noise cancellation with one AirPod.
- Open Settings, tap Accessibility, and then tap AirPods.
- If you have multiple AirPods, select one.
- Set any of the following options:
- Press Speed: Adjust how quickly you must press two or three times before an action occurs.
- Press and Hold Duration: Adjust the duration required to press and hold on your AirPods.
- Noise Cancellation with One AirPod: With AirPods Pro, turn on noise cancellation even when you’re using only one of your AirPods.
- Spatial Audio Head Tracking: When you turn on Follow iPhone, Spatial Audio sounds like it’s coming from your iPhone instead of following the movement of your head (for supported audio and video content).
- Tone Volume: Adjust the volume of the sound effects that are played by your AirPods, such as low battery alerts.
If you have AirPods Pro 2, your iPhone can give you a hearing test. And the Hearing Aid feature offers hearing assistance if you have perceived mild to moderate hearing loss.
