To make your AirPods louder, you can try several effective methods:
Basic Volume Adjustments
- Use the volume buttons on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to increase the volume. On AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), swipe up on the stem to raise volume; on AirPods Max, use the digital crown
- Use Siri by saying “Hey Siri, turn up the volume” or specify a percentage increase
Software Settings to Boost Volume
- Enable Headphone Accommodations :
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio & Visual > Headphone Accommodations, turn it on, select “Vocal Range,” and move the slider to “Strong” to amplify spoken sounds and overall volume
- Turn off Reduce Loud Audio :
Disable this in Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety to avoid automatic volume limiting
- Disable Sound Check :
In Settings > Music, turn off Sound Check to prevent volume leveling that can lower peak volume
- Adjust EQ Settings :
In Settings > Music > EQ, select “Loudness” to boost volume in Apple Music. For other apps like Spotify, adjust their individual EQ settings
Additional Tips
- Clean your AirPods : Dirt or earwax on speaker grilles can reduce volume. Gently clean them to restore sound clarity
- Check audio balance : Ensure the left and right AirPods have balanced volume in Settings > Accessibility > Audio & Visual by adjusting the balance slider
- Disable Low Power Mode : This can sometimes reduce Bluetooth volume
These steps collectively help maximize your AirPods’ volume safely without risking hearing damage
