Making AirPods louder - how to change the volume

AirPods give you the ability to listen to music wirelessly through your smartphone. The headphones have no buttons or settings directly on the hardware. Because of this, it's not clear to users how to make changes to the volume, for example.

How to make your AirPods louder

The AirPods are wireless headphones that are connected to your smartphone. If you want to adjust the volume of the AirPods, this is not possible via a button or switch on the headphones. However, there are other ways to make them louder.

1. Listening to music with the AirPods, you can change the volume via the button on your iPhone. Here, you simply use the volume buttons. This is possible because the AirPods accesses the corresponding volume settings of the iPhone.
2. Have you connected the AirPods to another device, such as the MacBook or your SmartWatch, you can also influence the volume here via the settings of the respective device.
3. Use voice control, change the volume via Siri. To activate this, you need to tap twice on the AirPods. Then you can command Siri to make them louder. Die Vorgehensweise funktioniert nur, weil beide AirPods ein Mikrofon integriert haben.
4. Bei Anrufen mit den AirPods wird automatisch ausgewählt, mit welchem Mikrofon das Telefonat geführt wird. Auch hier können Sie die Lautstärke über das Smartphone ändern.
