Once configured, your iPhone settings will sync automatically across all Apple devices, provided that they are connected via iCloud.
Step 3: Sync Audio Preferences on Apple Watch
One of the biggest advantages of the Apple Watch is its ability to control AirPods Pro settings directly from your wrist. After setting up iCloud sync on your iPhone, the audio preferences will be available on your Apple Watch.

Step 4: Use Siri for Hands-Free Audio Control
Siri is an invaluable tool for controlling your AirPods Pro audio preferences, making it even easier to sync and adjust settings across all your Apple devices. With Siri, you can trigger audio settings without having to physically interact with your devices.
- Activate Siri by saying “Hey Siri“.
- Commands such as “Hey Siri, turn on Transparency Mode” or “Hey Siri, switch to Noise Cancellation” will adjust the settings automatically on your AirPods Pro.
- Siri also works seamlessly across all devices, so if you switch from your iPhone to your Apple Watch, Siri will adjust your audio settings to match.
This voice-activated feature ensures that you can stay in control of your audio preferences without ever lifting a finger.
Step 5: Fine-Tune Audio Settings on Mac
When using AirPods Pro with your Mac, it’s important to fine-tune audio settings to match your preferences. While you can adjust basic settings via the Sound menu in System Preferences, Noise Cancellation and Transparency can be set from iPhone and Apple Watch and will sync across devices.
- Select AirPods Pro as your audio output device in System Preferences > Sound.
- Use the Mac’s volume controls to adjust the overall audio level.
