can only one airpod be used
I would like to listen to audible books with only one airpod in my ear so I can hear other things going on around me. Can I set airpods to operate with only one in an ear. Then operate both when both are in ears?
YES
To use just one AirPod, simply place an earpiece in one ear and leave the other AirPod in the charging case. You can switch them just as easily –- the W1 chip in the earphones will detect which one is in use and automatically pair it with your iPhone.
