How to Activate Noise Cancellation on Airpods : If Active Noise Cancellation isn’t working

To activate Noise Cancellation on Airpods, make sure that you have the latest software on your connected iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. Sometimes Active Noise Cancellation can be affected if debris or earwax builds up in the area shown below.

Follow these steps.

  1. Make sure that you have the latest software on your connected iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac
  2. Put both AirPods Pro in your ears and check that Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is turned on
  3. Clean the mesh located on the top of your AirPods Pro. Sometimes Active Noise Cancellation can be affected if debris or earwax builds up in the area shown below.

    If this happens, you might experience:

    • A loss of bass sound.
    • An increase in background sounds, such as street or airplane noise.
  4. If Active Noise Cancellation still isn’t working as expected, refer to AirPods Pro Service Program for Sound Issues.

  • If your AirPods Max are exposed to anything that may cause stains or other damage – for example, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, perfumes, solvents, detergent, acids or acidic foods, insect repellent, sun cream, oil or hair dye:
    • Wipe them clean with a cloth slightly dampened with fresh water and dry with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth
    • Don’t attempt to use them until they’re completely dry
  • Make sure no liquid gets in the openings.
  • Don’t use sharp objects or abrasive materials to clean your AirPods Max.

  2. Remove the cushions from the ear cups.
  3. When you clean the headband, hold your AirPods Max upside down to prevent liquid from flowing into the headband attachment point.
  4. Dip a lint-free cloth into the soapy water solution, wring it out slightly and rub the cloth on the cushions and headband gently for 1 minute each.
  5. Wipe the cushions and headband clean with a separate cloth that’s slightly dampened with fresh water.
