Although they have been associated with the iPhone, the AirPods are Bluetooth headphones that you can use with any Apple device, even with other brands. The magic we were talking about in our review makes these headphones ready to use with any iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac that is associated with our iCloud account, and With the Apple Watch they also gain functions that allow them to be squeezed more even than with the iPhone. We show you five things you can do with AirPods and your Apple Watch.
Know the remaining battery level of the AirPods
There are different ways to know how much remaining battery is left in our AirPods, as well as in their box that simultaneously functions as a charger. We have the Notification Center widget, and whenever we open the box with the AirPods inside, a window will appear on our iPhone with the charge levels of each earphone and the box. But we can also view the battery level from the Apple Watch. To do this we have to display the Control Center, sliding from the bottom up, and click on the battery percentage of our Apple Watch. A screen will open in which we will see, in addition to the Apple Watch battery and the switch to activate the Battery Saving mode, the remaining battery of each AirPod individually.
Receive calls on AirPods
It was something we missed when we wore a Bluetooth headset and received a call. Our Apple Watch allowed us to accept the call by clicking on the green button, but the call was received directly on the watch, not on the headphones, and we then had to transfer it to the headphones if we wanted to. With the AirPods Apple allows you to directly receive the call on the headphones, which are hands-free. When receiving a call, as long as the AirPods are being used, a button other than the usual one will appear, with an AirPod in green, and when pressing it the call will be transferred directly to our headphones.
Control playback
The AirPods lack physical controls, and Apple for the moment forces us to use Siri if we want to choose what we want to listen to, forward, backward, or even pause playback. This changes with the Apple Watch, since the application "Now it sounds" that comes pre-installed on the watch allows us to control whatever content we are listening to. with our headphones. Not only the music from Apple Music, but also that of Spotify or any application that is not optimized for the Apple Watch can be controlled through this application, including podcasts.
Control the volume
Like playback, Siri is the only way to control the volume of what we hear. The application «Now playing» will also allow you to control this function from your Apple Watch With the buttons that appear just below the playback controls, and as it happened before, you can do it with any application, not only those that are adapted to watchOS 3, they will not even have to be compatible with the Apple Watch.
Listen to music from your Apple Watch
Your Apple Watch and your AirPods are all you need to be able to listen to music, forgetting about having to carry your iPhone with you. If you are going to go for a run or you just want to forget everything and relax without being bothered by anything or anyone, you can do it thanks to the 8GB of internal storage that the Apple Watch has and the possibility that Apple Music offers you of storing a music list inside your watch. Selecting your Apple Watch as a source from the Music application on your watch and with the AirPods placed on your ears you can choose the songs you want to listen to.
Does anyone know if the airpods can be connected to the smart tv, I have not been able to.
In principle they are compatible with any device that accepts Bluetooth headsets. If they are not from Apple, you must press and hold the back button of the box while you search for bluetooth devices on the device you want to link them to.
Knowing the battery from the apple watch is not a "trick" or any novelty of the airpods with the apple watch. He also does it with the powerbeats3, let's not be fanciful. And the rest of things do too.
Of course, because they have the same W1 chip, and therefore their operation is almost identical. That is why the article is also not called "Five things you can do with the Apple Watch and AirPods and no other headphones"
