AirPods 1st generation and Siri

My husband has 1st generation AirPods and he has recently begun hearing his messages but not every message. I thought only AirPods 2 and Pro had this feature. How is this possible?

AirPods Pro - Siri reading messages So I’ve had some AirPods Pro for quite some time now and basically when Siri reads out my notifications such as who sent a Snapchat she normally reads it in a normal voice, however sometimes she reads it in a croaky, old sounding voice as if she’s breaking up. It used to only happen occasionally however now it’s more the majority. i have had the AirPods fixed due to charging issues and possibly that may have disrupted something but it’s probably more software. both AirPods and iPhone are up to date and it has happened on the previous software version too. Just wondered if this is a common problem and if anytime knows how to fix it ?

Siri won’t read messages thru AirPods I have made sure my AirPods are connected. I have made sure that I’ve turned on Announce messages with Siri. I will hear a “ding” With a new message, but then she won’t read it. She had been reading them fine and now has stopped. Help

Hello,

If Siri were summoned, Siri could be asked to read out a message.

Well, Siri wasn't summoned. It happened out of the blue.

Thanks
