"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)"
"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 perform best when paired with Apple devices, and users should review AirPods and Apple Music settings to maximize value. iOS 26 introduces a sleep detection feature that pauses media when AirPods detect the user has fallen asleep; the feature is available for AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Pro 2, and AirPods 4 and is disabled by default. Enabling sleep detection requires connecting AirPods to an iOS device and toggling Pause Media When Falling Asleep in AirPods settings. Head Gestures enable nodding to accept calls and shaking to decline, and they can acknowledge or respond to message notifications hands-free. Regular cleaning improves performance beyond sanitation, and several useful options are found inside device settings.
