Your AirPods are not responding to your commands, and you need to know how to manage your music and settings. You can resolve these control issues by following these simple steps.

  1. Pause or play your audio by pressing the force sensor button on the stem once [0:33].
  2. Skip to the next song by pressing the force sensor button twice [0:46].
  3. Return to the previous song or restart your current track by pressing the button three times [0:54].
  4. Adjust your volume hands-free by asking Siri to turn the level up or down to a specific percentage [1:22].
  5. Toggle between noise cancellation and transparency mode by holding down the force sensor button for a few seconds [2:01].
  6. Customize your sensor settings by going to your iPhone Settings > Bluetooth and tapping the info icon next to your AirPods to assign specific actions to the left or right earbud.
  7. Play a specific playlist by asking Siri to start it by name.

Ninja Tip: Keep your AirPods stems clean with a soft, dry cloth to ensure the force sensor registers your presses consistently without interference from debris.

If you still experience issues, perform a factory reset by going to Settings > Bluetooth > [Your AirPods] > Forget This Device and then follow the re-pairing process.
