Key Takeaways

I love my AirPods Pro, but after two years of almost everyday wear, they’re not as loud as they used to be. Don’t get me wrong, they still have great sound, but there are moments I’ve been walking around the city trying to turn them up louder just to realize the volume is as loud as it can go.

Why adding cameras to AirPods could be a bad idea

Opinion: Apple is reportedly exploring adding cameras and sensors to AirPods, but that could be hard to justify.

Maybe my hearing has simply gotten worse over the years, but I investigated different methods of making my AirPods Pro louder and can happily say I found these three hacks that make for an immediately louder, fuller listening experience.

One of the best ways to make your AirPods louder is by turning up the vocal range for your speakers. Turning up the vocal range will make voices in audio louder by making other aspects of the audio lower.


Turn up your iPhone's speaker vocal range

Here’s how to do this:

  1. Open Settings
  2. Scroll and click on the ‘Accessibility‘ option
  3. Under Accessibility, go to the ‘Audio and Visual’ section
  4. Toggle the ‘Headphone Accommodations’ option
  5. Once the accommodation is turned on, go to ‘Vocal Range’
  6. For louder sound, hit ‘Strong’ for the vocal range

2 Check if your volume is capped

Your settings might be limiting your AirPods’ capabilities

In order to safely listen to music without damaging your hearing, the decibels of volume is typically capped by default. You can change this in three easy steps:

  1. Go to ‘Settings.’
  2. Scroll to ‘Sounds and Haptics.’
  3. Hit ‘Headphone Safety.’
  4. Turn ‘Reduce Loud Sounds’ on.
  5. Adjust the volume to your desired decibel.

Check if your volume is capped in settings

If you listen to music or podcasts several hours a day, raising the volume you listen to your audio at may have damaging effects on your hearing.
According to the World Health Organization
, a safe listening volume is between 60-85 db.

3 Properly clean the wax out or your AirPods

If sound is muffled, something might be blocking the buds

Cleaning the AirPods Pro

If the sound on your AirPods still seems muffled, make sure you’ve cleaned the earpods of your AirPods Pro. To clean them you’ll need cotton swabs, rubbing alcohol and a paper towel or microfiber cloth. Carefully use the cotton swab to clean all the sound openings where there could be built up wax or debris.

FAQ

Q: Will turning up the vocal range affect other aspects of AirPods Pro sound?

Yes, turning up the vocal range will affect other aspects of your listening experience. The vocal range makes the speaker’s voice louder, which is great if you exclusively listen to podcasts, but makes the bass lower when listening to music. If you prefer a louder bass, I don’t recommend turning the vocal range up.

Q: How do I switch back to default headphones settings?

Switching back is really simple. All you need to do is go to ‘Accessibility’ and shut the headphone accommodations off.

Q: Will this hack work on an Android?

Unfortunately, this tip is only suitable for Apple users with devices that have an iOS 15 update or newer.

Q: Are there any other solutions to adjusting the AirPods volume?

If you’ve tried everything above and your AirPods still have wonky sound, sometimes disconnecting your AirPods from your device and reconnecting them will fix faults. When in doubt, you can always bring them to Apple for assistance.
