  • Answer a call: When you receive a call, press the stem.
  • Adjust volume: Lightly swipe up or down on the stem.
  • You can also turn on Personalized Volume to automatically adjust the volume based on listening preferences and your environment. See Use Conversation Awareness, Personalized Volume, and Loud Sound Reduction.
  • Switch between Noise Cancellation, Transparency, and Adaptive Audio noise control modes: You can set either of your AirPods to perform this action when you press and hold the stem. See Change what the force sensor or Touch control does.
  • Activate Siri: You can set either of your AirPods to perform this action when you press and hold the stem. See Use Siri with AirPods.
