AirPods Pro Fit test: this is how you get the best sound
Those who purchase the AirPods Pro will receive three types of ear cushions. That way you always have a size that fits and is comfortable. Now you can of course check the old-fashioned way if the ear pads connect, but you can also use Apple’s Fit Test. All you need, besides the AirPods Pro itself and several ear pads, is a paired iPhone or iPad:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad;
- Select ‘Bluetooth’ and under ‘My devices’ tap the information icon next to the AirPods Pro;
- In the newly opened menu, press ‘Fit test’;
- Follow the instructions on the screen, tap ‘Continue’ and play the test clip;
- With a green text, the earplugs are perfect, but with an orange message something is wrong and you need different ear cushions.
The Fit Test checks, among other things, whether the silicone ends of the AirPods Pro fit properly in your ears. It is also checked whether the sound is optimal. When you get the text ‘Adjust or try a different ear pad’, the intention is to change the size and run the test again. You can also use a different ear pad per AirPod Pro: sometimes one ear is larger than the other.
