How to Take Full Control of Volume on Your AirPods Using Siri
By design, changing the volume on Apple AirPods requires either using the volume buttons on your phone or using Siri to increase or decrease the volume. While your iPhone adjusts the volume in 6 percent increments, Siri adjusts the volume in 12-13 percent increments. Obviously this cuts down on volume change requests, but it also removes the fine-grained control. How do I get it back?
You can tell Siri the exact percentage to increase, decrease, or set the volume directly. Hey Siri:
- “Turn up the volume 10 percent.”
- “Reduce sound by 25 percent”
- “Turn up the volume 18 percent.”
You can also request the current volume by asking the question “what volume?” or “what percentage is that volume?” which means you can find exactly the percentage you like and say, “Hey Siri, set my volume to 57 percent.”
