How to test the fit of the AirPods Pro
Replace eartips and check fit
Unlike the basic AirPods series, AirPods come with 3 ear tips. Available in large, medium, and small sizes, the ear tips can be interchanged to fit your ears. The color is provided in the same color as the AirPods, and a program is provided to test the suitability after wearing it in the app. The eartips are medium-sized when opened. In addition, you have to apply physical force to replace it, but if you pull it back enough for the tip to come off smoothly, it will come off easily. Please do not forcefully twist or use tools, and pull by hand.

How to set up noise canceling
What is Noise Canceling?
AirPods Pro provide a noise canceling function. With this function, you can immediately block outside noise while listening to music. Initially started as a technology to reduce aircraft noise, the noise canceling function has excellent shielding capabilities that can be called earplugs. When external noise, which is a wave, is sent to the ear in the reverse direction, the external noise and the artificially created wave are offset in the eardrum and shielded. Thanks to this, you can call it a battery-powered external noise blocking earplug. The noise canceling function provided by AirPods Pro can be activated, allowed, and turned off. And since the left and right settings of the force sensor touch can be individually set, you can set Siri conversion or noise canceling On-Off.
Get Started with Noise Canceling
To turn on noise canceling mode, Bluetooth > AirPods Pro pairing must be prioritized. Afterwards, select the Accessibility > Audio Visual tab.
Turn on noise canceling
You can turn on noise canceling mode in visual effects. Please switch to On mode for usage setting. There is no problem with video conferencing outside.
How to set noise canceling preferences
The default settings are active mode / ambient sound mode / off. All three can be used through the force sensor button in the mobile settings, and the two can be used interchangeably.
Left and right individual setting function
You can set the noise canceling and Siri buttons to the left and right differently. For example, the left AirPod can only have a no-can setting, and the right one can have a Siri button. This way, if you want to make a call, you can do so by entering a command via Siri. And as shown above, only the noise canceling mode and ambient noise acceptance mode are available except for Off.
