How to Turn Off Ear Detection on AirPods for Android Devices?

Share This:

Are you an Android user looking to get the most out of your AirPods? One of the most useful features of AirPods is their ability to detect when they’re in your ears and turn off automatically when removed. This is known as “in-ear detection”, and can save you battery life and provide a more comfortable listening experience.

In-ear detection works by detecting changes in the audio levels inside your ear. When it detects a significant change in sound, it triggers the AirPods to turn on or off. This means that if you take one AirPod out of your ear, the music will pause until you put it back in.

If you’re an Android user, there are two different ways to turn on or off in-ear detection for your AirPods. If you have a Pixel phone with Android 10+, go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the settings icon by your paired Pixel Buds name. If you have another type of Android device, open the Google Pixel Buds app and scroll down and tap More settings. Then tap the toggle button to turn on or off In-ear detection.

In-ear detection is an incredibly useful feature for anyone using their AirPods with an Android device because it makes listening more comfortable and efficient by automatically turning them on and off depending on whether they’re in your ears or not. So if you want to maximize battery life for your AirPods while also getting a better listening experience overall, make sure to use this feature!
