Apple has an ecosystem that is limited to helping Apple users. Apple’s wireless Airpods are part of this ecosystem. This is a premium pair of headphones that work great with Apple devices. However, you will have to use Apple devices for them to work properly and maintain an optimal connection. But what if your Airpods don’t sound that loud? There can be various issues if your AirPods don’t sound much louder. Well, there are ways to make your AirPods louder.
How to make your AirPods louder
If you want to make it louder than before, then this article will help you with this. In this article, we will discuss how to make your AirPods louder.
Increase the default volume
If your AirPods aren’t much louder, their volume may be turned down. You can simply control the volume of your AirPods with the volume buttons. You can do this if your iPhone is near you. However, if you don’t have your iPhone or Mac with you, you can simply ask Siri to do the work for you.
Siri is a smart assistant that connects to Apple devices to enhance their functionality. It is efficient enough for basic tasks such as volume control, surfing the Internet, and the like. You will need to wake up Siri and then ask to turn up the volume. To do this, follow the steps given below:
- Double-tap any of your AirPods to wake up Siri, then tell it to turn up the volume . This way Siri will increase the volume of your AirPods. Please note that this will only work for the first generation of AirPods.
- If you’re using second generation AirPods, just say “Hey Siri” and it will wake up Siri. Now just say volume up and the volume will be turned up.
Asking Siri to turn up the volume will only increase the volume by 12%. However, if you want to do more, you can use a command like “Hey Siri, turn up the volume by 20% “or “Hey Siri, turn up the volume by 100%”. Similarly, you can ask Siri to turn down the volume.
This is the only way to turn up the AirPods and make them louder. However, if the volume isn’t high right now, your AirPods may need to be recalibrated.
