Alarms can go through AirPods if they are connected to the device at the time the alarm is set to go off. When you have your AirPods connected to your phone or other compatible device, the alarm tone will be outputted through the AirPods instead of the device’s built-in speakers.
This feature can be quite convenient, especially if you prefer to use your AirPods for audio playback or if you want to ensure that you don’t disturb others around you with a loud alarm tone. It allows you to have a more personal and private alarm experience.
I have personally used this feature numerous times when I want to wake up without disturbing my partner who might still be sleeping. By connecting my AirPods to my phone and setting the alarm, I can wake up to the sound of the alarm without it blaring out of the phone’s speakers. It’s a small but useful feature that adds to the overall convenience of AirPods.
However, it’s important to note that if you don’t have your AirPods connected to the device at the time the alarm is set to go off, the alarm tone will simply play through the device’s built-in speakers. So, if you want the alarm to go through your AirPods, make sure they are connected before setting the alarm.
To connect your AirPods to your device, you typically just need to open the AirPods case near your device and follow the prompts to pair them. Once connected, you can adjust the volume of the alarm on your device or through the AirPods themselves, depending on your preference.
It’s worth mentioning that while alarms can go through AirPods, other sounds and notifications can also be routed through them. This includes phone calls, text message alerts, app notifications, and media playback. So, if you have your AirPods connected and receive a call or a notification, you will hear it through your AirPods rather than the device’s speakers.
Alarms can indeed go through AirPods when they are connected to the device. This feature adds convenience and allows for a more personalized and private alarm experience. Whether you want to avoid disturbing others or simply prefer the audio to be routed through your AirPods, this functionality can be quite handy.
