In this video, I'll be showing you the best ways how to use your Apple AirPods Pro 2
0:04
and at least some ways I'm guessing you didn't know about. Quickly want to say welcome back to
0:08
the channel, but if you happen to be new, hey, I'm Kate, and this is Setup Essentials
0:12
a recurring series here, and today, it's all about AirPods Pro 2, so let's get into it
0:17
First and foremost, you need to connect your AirPods Pro 2 to a source device
0:21
in most cases an iPhone, in order to use any of the features I'll be showing you
0:25
If you have a new pair, setup should initiate the second you open your AirPods case
0:30
But if not, you could always manually trigger Bluetooth pairing by pressing and holding the
0:34
button on the back until the case flashes white. Then it should just be findable in your device's
0:38
Bluetooth settings. So now you should know the basics of how to pair your AirPods Pro to your
0:42
iPhone. But did you know that by subscribing to this channel, you'll be able to learn a lot more
0:47
about all your favorite tech brands and devices? Let me know in the comments what some of those are
0:51
Back to AirPods Pro 2. One of the questions I get from people all the time is how to check the battery life
0:57
Well, there's actually a super convenient way to never be left guessing how much charge your buds have left
1:03
What you're going to do is create a battery widget and add it to your home screen. Long press a blank area on the display, tap the plus icon on the top left, select batteries from the widget menu
1:13
Now you can always know the battery status of not just the buds, but also the case
1:18
and this will update both when you're using your AirPods and as they're charging
1:22
This next one I'm almost certain you didn't know about. Whereas most wireless earbuds require both buds to be in place for ANC mode to work
1:30
Apple has engineered the AirPods Pro 2 differently, letting you have ANC enabled with just one bud
1:36
In settings, go to Accessibility, AirPods, select yours, scroll down and enable noise cancellation with one AirPod What the benefit if you enjoy a little bit of noise neutralization but still want to have clarity on one side Another really amazing accessibility feature is the ability to use AirPods Pro 2 as FDA over hearing aids
1:56
In the AirPods menu, select Hearing Assistance to first take a hearing test to determine the degree
2:01
and nature of your hearing loss. Then you can set up hearing aid, and when it's enabled
2:05
you can make adjustments in your phone's control center easily. Also, in the hearing shortcut in
2:10
the control center, you'll find a super underrated feature called background sounds. It surprises me
2:16
how many people don't know about this. Background sounds can help battle unwanted environmental
2:21
noises. I personally use the ocean sound to help me focus, though it is worth noting that this
2:26
feature isn't limited to the AirPods. You can actually just play these out loud from your iPhone
2:29
But for the most effective experience, background sounds on AirPods, so cool. You probably already
2:36
know that AirPods Pro 2 support wireless charging, meaning you can use a compatible wireless charging
2:40
pad or one of those two-in-one or three-in-one charging stations. But something that I think is
2:45
super underrated is that you can actually use an Apple Watch charger to charge AirPods Pro 2
2:51
There's something about the charging coils in this case that make it possible, and I'm not saying
2:55
you need to charge your AirPods this way, but it is a good tip to keep in the back of your pocket
3:00
You never know when it might come in handy. Honestly, I feel like I've barely scratched the
3:04
surface with things that you didn't know you could do with your AirPods Pro 2, so I'll be sure to
3:07
drop a link to an article with some extra hidden features, but let me know if you'd want to see a
3:12
part two. Remember, if you like this video, there's a whole playlist of Setup Essentials to check out
3:17
Anyway, that's it for me. Thanks for watching this video, guys. I'll catch you next time
