Name change
When you connect your AirPods to your iPhone for the first time, they are automatically assigned a name. This name consists of your name, a hyphen, and the word AirPods (Pro).

Once you've done that, go to Settings, where you open the section Bluetooth and then press ⓘ on the right side of your AirPods. Finally, just tap on at the top Name, which at will rewrite
Control reset

Automatic switching
If you have AirPods 2nd generation or AirPods Pro and also have the latest versions of operating systems installed, you can use the Automatic switching function. This feature should ensure that depending on the use of your Apple devices, the headphones will automatically switch. For example, if you are listening to a video from your Mac and someone calls you on your iPhone, the headphones should switch automatically. But the truth is that the function is definitely not perfect, it could even bother someone. To deactivate it, go to Settings, where you open Bluetooth and then tap on ⓘ with your AirPods. Then click here Connect to this iPhone and tick If they were connected to the iPhone even last time.

Sound tuning
AirPods are set from the factory so that their sound suits most users. Of course, there are individuals here who may not be satisfied with the sound - because each of us is a little different. The Settings application has a special section where you can adjust the sound balance, voice range, brightness and other preferences, or you can start a kind of "wizard" that makes the setup a little easier. To tune the sound go to Settings, where click below Disclosure. Then get off practically all the way down and open in the Hearing category Audiovisual aids. All you have to do here is click at the top Customization for headphones and make changes, or start the wizard by clicking on Custom sound settings.

Battery status in widget
The AirPods charging case also includes an LED that can inform you about the charging status of the headphones themselves or the charging case. We have attached an article below, thanks to which you can read more about the individual colors and states of the diode. However, it is much more convenient to use a widget, within which you can display the battery status on the iPhone with a numerical value. To add a battery widget, swipe left on the home page to the widgets screen. Scroll down here, tap on edit, and then on the + icon in the upper left corner. Find the widget here Battery, tap on it, choose size, and then simply move to the page with widgets, or directly between applications. In order for the charging status of the AirPods and their case to be displayed in the widget, it is of course necessary that the headphones are connected.

Hello, I would like some advice about AirPods pro. When I plug in the headphones and play music, the quality of the music is different at the beginning, which changes to the correct quality within a second. To explain it better at the beginning, I hear muffled music "as if in a tunnel" if it's called like that, I hope you can understand it better 🤷🏼♀️ When I bought the headphones, everything was fine, I've had them for a year and it started happening to me in the last month or so. My question is if there is any way to fix it or will I have to complain? Thank you for answer. Tereza Štíchová
