2 Use Siri to Control Music Hands-Free

Setting the AirPods’ double-tap feature to Siri — as we covered in our last tips and ticks — unlocks a variety of additional capabilities for the wireless earphones. Some of the most useful abilities relate to hands-free music listening.

Instead of using your iPhone to change the song or volume, you can simply use Siri to save time.

1. Just double-tap the side of your AirPods to activate Siri, and use a voice command to control playback.
2. As examples, you can say “skip this song” or “turn up the volume by 25 percent.”
