Recently, there has been a wave of heated discussions on the Internet about “You are wearing the wrong AirPods”, which has caused many people to wonder, should the AirPods headphones be rotated or worn the other way around? In fact, this is not completely false news. This article will help you dispel the myth, teach you how to wear AirPods correctly, and find the lost noise reduction and bass by fine-tuning the angle!
Apple officially shares the correct steps for wearing AirPods Pro
Many people have bought AirPods Pro, but feel that the active noise reduction effect is not good, or the sound quality sounds flat. This is usually not because the earphones are broken, but because there is a problem with the tightness (sealing).
According to Apple official AirPods Pro Fitting Guidethe correct way to wear it is by no means just plugging it into your ears, but requires the following steps:
- Choose the correct size of earplugs: First use the iPhone’s built-in “earplug cover fit test” to confirm the size.
- Insertion and fine-tuning: After placing the AirPods Pro into the ear canal, gently adjust and rotate the earphone handle toward the cheek (mouth) to ensure that the silicone earplugs completely fit the ear canal, which can greatly improve the active noise cancellation (ANC) effect and bass fullness.
- Confirm the sense of sealing: When you feel that the outside sound suddenly becomes smaller and the earphones are stable and not shaking, this is the best position for you.
The fine-tuning angle of AirPods Pro allows the silicone earplugs to conform to the shape of your ear canal, forming a perfect physical sound insulation layer. Once the sealing is sufficient, the ANC noise reduction function can exert 100% strength, and the heavy bass will no longer leak.
If you are buying AirPods Pro 3rd generation, you need to make sure that the built-in heart rate sensor fits the skin inside the ear after wearing it for accurate readings.
The correct way to wear official AirPods 3 or AirPods 4
Regardless of how you wear AirPods 3 or AirPods 4, since the earphones themselves are semi-open and semi-in-ear, after wearing them, you need to gently press the AirPods into your ears and rotate them toward your face, and finally make them comfortable to wear and not easy to fall off.
The main reason is that AirPods uses a hard shell that directly rests against the ear cavity and has no physical sealing mechanism, so it has to be slightly rotated to achieve the most comfortable angle after wearing it.
Are AirPods really more stable when worn backwards (with the headphone stem facing up)?
Some netizens on the Internet also shared that it is actually more stable to wear the AirPods by swapping the left and right ears and wearing them backwards, and it is not easier to fall off. In fact, this method is not officially recommended by Apple, and it will slightly sacrifice the sound quality coverage and operational intuition.
Since the photos on the official website never “wear the headphones upside down,” is the “reverse wearing method” circulating on the Internet practical? For verification, Mr. Crazy also personally used AirPods 3 for actual testing.
Usually, when you wear AirPods in the normal way with the stem facing down, they will easily fall off if touched slightly. This is mainly related to the size and shape of the individual ear holes. However, this time I tried the reverse wearing method of “left and right ear swapping + earphone stem facing up” that was reported on the Internet and found the following advantages and disadvantages:
When the AirPods earphones are stuck on the auricle with the stem facing up, they will be very firm. Even if you shake your head vigorously, the earphones will still stay still, which is very suitable for those who wear them easily and fall off easily.
However, when AirPods are worn backwards, due to the change in the direction of the sound-emitting unit, the sound coverage does become worse. In addition, the position of the microphone will also be blocked, which will affect the quality of call reception.
However, this method is not suitable for everyone. Some people are prone to ear pain if they are stuck for a long time. Generally speaking, if you listen to Internet remedies and excessively rotate the earphones to the horizontal or even upward direction, the operation direction will become extremely unintuitive and even easy to accidentally touch.
