1 Specify Your AirPod Microphone
AirPods can automatically detect whether they’re in your ears or not. Similarly, they can also determine which individual AirPod you’re using (if you’re only using one). Similarly, by default, the system detects which AirPod to use as the microphone by the input strength.
But you can also set this manually, which is great for people using the aforementioned charging trick, using a single AirPod while multitasking, or if one of your AirPod’s microphone’s becomes damaged.
- Just go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the “i” icon next to AirPods.
- You’ll find options to select the left or right AirPod as your fixed microphone input.
