The pack comes with four sizes: extra small, small, medium, and large. Choosing the best fit among these is important to ensure the earbuds create a tight seal in your ear and no background noise seeps in. Fortunately, this is fairly easy to do with the Ear Tip Fit Test.

Step 5: If the results say "good seal," you have found the perfect tip size for you, and you can continue using it. If the results say "Adjust," you may want to repeat the process after adjusting the earbud position or working with different eartip sizes.

Step 1: Make sure the earbuds are connected to your iPhone and say, "Hey Siri." Now, you can give any control commands like, "Siri, turn down the volume." Step 2: Another way to activate Siri is to press and hold the Indent on the stem. When you hear a chime, give any command.
Use Adaptive Transparency Mode to pay attention to your surroundings
Active noise cancellation can create an optimal immersive listening experience, but it's not always safe to use this feature when you're walking down the street.

Switch off noise cancellation to save battery
If you ever find yourself on a long, boring journey with only your earbuds for entertainment, you'll want to make the battery last for as long as possible. A lot of features like ANC and the aforementioned Adaptive Transparency Mode consume more battery power to function, so turning them off can give you a longer runtime.

Set up Personalized Spatial Audio for an enhanced listening experience
One of the best features offered by the second-gen AirPods Pro is Personalized Spatial Audio for an enhanced listening experience. With this, your iPhone captures your unique head and ear shape, and the earbuds customize the audio to match it. Love it or hate it, the feature is at least worth a try.

Step 3: Click on Personalize spatial audio to start the scanning process. The camera will scan your head and both ears, so we recommend tying your hair back and removing any obscuring accessories to get the most accurate results. Step 4: After the scanning process is complete, your profile data will be saved and synced to other Apple devices via iCloud, so you won't have to go through the same steps for every new device you pair the AirPods with.
