- Make sure your AirPods are connected to your iPhone.
- Open Settings.
- Tap the listing for your AirPods at the top of the Settings page.
- Scroll down to Adaptive Transparency and toggle this on or off.

Touch control on the new Pros allows you to lower or raise the volume by lightly swiping up or down on the stem of the AirPods. Here’s how to use the feature.
- You’ll feel an area that’s slightly indented and has a matte texture, instead of a shiny one, on the side of either AirPod.
- Lightly stroke up or down to control the volume.

5. Airpods Pro 2 tips and tricks: Set Up AirPods Personalized Spatial Audio
According to Apple, Personalized Spatial Audio is designed to create an even more precise and immersive listening experience than standard Spatial Audio, which uses Dolby Atmos to create a richer, more immersive soundstage when listening to songs in the Apple Music catalog.
Personalized Spatial Audio does this by using the TrueDepth camera on an iPhone to analyze the shape of your ears in three dimensions and use this mapping to create a personal sound profile that’s tuned just for you. Here’s how to Set Up Personalized Spatial Audio
- With AirPods connected, launch the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap on the name of your AirPods, just below your Apple ID banner.
- Under “Spatial Audio,” tap Personalized Spatial Audio.
- Tap Personalize Spatial Audio….
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
When the setup process is complete, you can tap See & Hear How It Works on the previous screen to get an idea of how it sounds. If you don’t like what you hear, you can always disable the feature via Personalized Spatial Audio -> Stop Using Personalized Spatial Audio….
