To get the most out of your Apple AirPods regardless of which model you choose, its best to:
- Keep them clean: Wipe down regularly as they accumulate dust, dirt and debris over time.
- Customise controls to your liking: Take advantage of Siri voice commands by customising controls in Settings > Bluetooth > Your Device Name.
- Use Find My App: If you ever misplace your AirPods then using Find My can help to find where your device is.
