How to change the press and hold settings of your AirPods Pro

AirPods Pro offers three modes: Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode, and Off. You can always switch between the modes from the Control Center or Settings but doing it straight from your AirPods Pro is much more convenient.

By default, the press and hold settings on the stem of your AirPods Pro switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode. However, you can change that with a few simple steps. Here’s how.
