Whether you have received AirPods Pro Whether you're new to your AirPods this holiday season or are debating whether to invest in new earbuds for the new year, you may be wondering, "What should I do with a pair of AirPods Pro?" AirPods Pro aren't just a regular pair of earbuds that connect to your phone—there are plenty of little features that enhance your experience while using them. Here are the best AirPods Pro features you should check out.
You have the option to switch between noise cancellation and transparency settings, skip your songs with the press of a button, customize your audio experience and controls, use your phone as a live microphone, can share your music, and have options to locate your AirPods Pro if you misplace them.
1. Noise cancellation and transparency
One of the best features of the AirPods Pro that you should be using, and that the original AirPods don't have, is noise cancellation and transparency. These features are unique to the AirPods Pro due to their comfortable silicone tips that provide a tight seal around your ear and block out much of the ambient noise.
What are these settings?
Active noise cancellation
The noise cancellation setting is available on the earbuds you use when you're on a red-eye flight or on a pair of headphones that fit so snugly in your ears that you have trouble hearing the person next to you. This is a form of passive noise cancellation (the default AirPods Pro state without any setting)—AirPods Pro have active noise cancellation technology to block out sounds you might hear through passive noise cancellation.
The library
Transparency is a setting that lets you hear ambient noise while also allowing you to listen to your music. If you own the original AirPods, the setting is very similar. Due to the natural passive noise cancellation that AirPods Pro offer, Transparency lets you hear the world around you.

4. Spatial Sound vs. Stereo Sound
We have the option to switch between spatial and stereo audio with AirPods Pro. What's the difference between the two?
Spatial audio is recorded to make sounds appear to the listener as if you were in the middle of the live recording. If the singer is to your right and the drum kit is to your left, the audio played in your AirPods Pro will reflect this position.
This stereo sound is intensified by delaying sounds by milliseconds to create the illusion of space when recording. These are very general explanations.

Step 2: Open an app Settings On your iPhone or iPad, go to Bluetooth. Wait for your device to find your AirPods Pro.

The default name given to your AirPods Pro once they're synced with your phone is "Your Name's AirPods Pro." It's a functional name, and unlike many other devices with obscure acronyms, it's very easy to tell which device is being synced.

When you open the box of your new AirPods Pro, you may notice a small container containing two different-sized tips for you to use. Depending on the size of your ear canals, you may need to replace the tips for a tighter fit.
