"It's no secret that AirPods perform at their best when paired with other Apple devices, and rare should you need to make excessive changes to maximize their audio performance. However, I recommend reviewing your AirPods and Apple Music settings (if you're subscribed) to ensure every dollar spent is worth it. Also: You should clean your headphones and earbuds ASAP (and it goes beyond sanitary reasons)"
"In September's iOS 26 update, AirPods received a sleep detection feature. This feature enables your AirPods to detect when you've fallen asleep and pause the media on your device. Users with AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Pro 2, and AirPods 4 can access this feature, which is disabled by default. To enable it, you will need to go into your settings."
"Head Gestures is my absolute favorite AirPods feature. If you're like me and always have your AirPods in, acknowledging notifications hands-free is the best way to stay on top of time-sensitive alerts while your hands are full. If you receive a phone call while wearing your AirPods, you can nod your head "yes" to accept it or shake your head "no" to decline it."
AirPods deliver optimal performance when paired with Apple devices, and reviewing settings and Apple Music can improve value. Regular cleaning of headphones and earbuds matters beyond hygiene. iOS 26 adds a sleep detection feature that pauses media when the wearer falls asleep; AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Pro 2, and AirPods 4 support the feature but it is disabled by default and must be enabled in settings. Head Gestures enable hands-free interactions: nod to accept calls or replies and shake to decline or dismiss notifications. Exploring hidden settings can elevate everyday AirPods use.
