Apple's latest set of earphones, the AirPods Pro, work in many ways like Apple's other AirPods. They pair easily, switch devices quickly, and you can customize some of their functions in the Bluetooth menu on your iPhone or iPad.
Of course, AirPods Pro pack some extra features, and that includes the ability to customize how its controls work to a greater degree than you can on other AirPods. For instance, AirPods Pro have what Apple calls a force sensor on each stem. These are the physical controls that many have been wanting on AirPods for a while, allowing you to control music playback with physical control.
Additionally, you can also hold down the force sensor to activate either the new Noise Control features on AirPods Pro, or activate Siri. Here's how you can do that on your AirPods Pro.
