Enable Noise Cancellation for One AirPod in AirPods Pro

Apple’s AirPods Pro, renowned for its high-quality sound, compact design, and impressive noise cancellation feature, provide a superior auditory experience. This guide is intended to walk you through the process of enabling noise cancellation for even just a single AirPod in your AirPods Pro. This can come in handy if you’re in a situation where you need to be alert to your surroundings but still want the benefits of noise cancellation for immersive sound in one ear. 

While this may seem like a daunting task given the small size and seemingly complex technology within these tiny devices, it’s quite simple with the right instructions. Let’s dive into the steps required to customize your AirPods Pro settings for an enhanced, personalized audio experience.

How to Enable Noise Cancellation for a Single AirPod Pro

To start, ensure that your AirPods Pro earbuds are connected to your device and ready for use. Then follow these steps to enable Active Noise Cancellation in one ear:

• Open the Settings app on your Apple iOS iPhone or iPad.
• Navigate to Accessibility > AirPods.
• Enable the option for Noise Cancellation with One AirPod.
• Now, you can use noise cancellation benefits even when using a single AirPod Pro.

You can easily customize the level of ANC for each AirPod individually. Simply use the slider located below the toggle switch. Once you’ve made your desired adjustments, simply close the Settings app and enjoy your personalized noise cancellation with just one ear on your AirPods Pro 1st and 2nd generation.

How to Activate Noise Cancellation on AirPods Max

If you own AirPods Max, the process is a bit different. Here’s how to enable noise cancellation for one AirPod on your AirPods Max:

• On your iPhone or iPad, open the Control Center by swiping down from the top right corner of the screen.
• Press and hold on to the volume bar until it expands to reveal additional controls. 
• Tap on the Noise Control icon, which looks like a pair of earbuds.
• Toggle the switch next to “Noise Cancelling” to turn it on.

You can also adjust the level of ANC for each AirPod max headphone by tapping on their respective icons in the expanded volume bar. Once you’ve made your desired adjustments, simply close the Control Center and enjoy your customized noise cancellation settings on your Apple headphones.

Utilizing Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode Together

One of the great features of Airpods Pro and AirPods Max is their ability to switch between active noise cancellation and transparency mode. Transparency mode allows you to hear your surroundings while still wearing your AirPods, making it convenient for situations where you need to be aware of your environment. To toggle between these two modes:

• On your iPhone or iPad, open the Control Center by swiping down from the top right corner of the screen.
• Tap on the Noise Control icon, which looks like a pair of earbuds.
• Choose between “Noise Cancelling,” “Transparency,” or “Off.”

Alternatively, you can also use Siri voice commands to switch between these modes. Simply say “Hey Siri, turn on noise cancelling” or “Hey Siri, turn on transparency mode.”

How to Turn off ANC with Siri

If you’re using AirPods Pro or Airpods Max, you can also use Siri to turn off active noise reduction on a specific AirPod. This can be useful if you want to temporarily hear your surroundings without taking out your AirPods:

• Simply say “Hey Siri, turn off noise canceling on the left/right AirPod.”

Siri will then confirm that it has turned off ANC on the designated AirPod, allowing you to easily switch between full audio blockage and transparency mode as needed with an earbud in your ear.

Troubleshooting Noise Cancellation with Single AirPod

If you encounter any issues with enabling noise cancellation for one AirPod, here are a few troubleshooting steps to try:

• Make sure your AirPods Pro or Max are connected and paired with your device.
• Check the battery levels of your AirPods Pro 2. A low battery can sometimes affect the ability to use ANC on one  AirPod Pro.
• Restart your iOS and iPad OS device and try again.
• If all else fails, contact Apple Support for further assistance.
