It is possible to adjust the microphone sensitivity of AirPods. To do this, you will need to go to the Settings menu on your iPhone or iPad. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to adjust the microphone sensitivity:
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Bluetooth”.
3. In the Bluetooth settings, you will see a list of devices that are connected or paired with your device. Look for your AirPods in the “My Devices” section and tap the blue “i” icon next to it.
4. This will take you to the AirPods settings page. Here, you will find various options related to your AirPods.
5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see an option called “Microphone”. Tap on it.
6. In the Microphone settings, you will find two options: “Automatic” and “Always Left AirPod”. By default, the Automatic option is selected, which means the microphone sensitivity is automatically adjusted based on the ambient noise.
7. If you want to manually adjust the microphone sensitivity, you can choose the “Always Left AirPod” option. This setting allows you to use only the left AirPod as the microphone, which can help improve the clarity of your voice during calls or recordings.
It’s important to note that adjusting the microphone sensitivity may have an impact on the overall sound quality during calls or recordings. If you find that the microphone is too sensitive and picking up a lot of background noise, you can try using the “Always Left AirPod” option to see if it improves the situation.
Additionally, keep in mind that the microphone sensitivity settings may vary depending on the iOS version you are using. If you don’t see the Microphone option in your AirPods settings, make sure your device is running the latest iOS version and try again.
In my personal experience, I have found that the default automatic microphone sensitivity works well in most situations. However, there have been instances where I needed to manually adjust the sensitivity to reduce background noise during important calls or recordings. It’s great to have the option to customize the microphone settings based on individual preferences and specific situations.
To summarize, you can adjust the microphone sensitivity of AirPods by going to the Bluetooth settings in your device’s Settings app and tapping on the “i” icon next to your AirPods. From there, you can choose between the automatic or manual microphone sensitivity options. Remember to consider the impact on sound quality and experiment with different settings to find what works best for you.
