You will never have to use them, but if there is ever a situation where your air pods stop responding or are not working properly, you can reset them and to reset them you need to press and hold the button on the back of the air pods case . and you will need to do this for about 10 seconds after the 10 seconds that you open the case, you will notice that it prompts you to plug it back in.
You will also see a white LED light on the case, we tap to connect it. Reconnect as quickly as you did the first time.

I have my Android device here and what you have to do is open it. your settings open the bluetooth settings and then you want to press and hold the back of the air pods case again when you see the air pods appear tap on them they are connected and now they will work with this device as well.
The next step is called live listening and waltzing on your iPhone and a feature built into it and what it will allow you to do is listen to what's going on through your headphones so you can put your iPhone down, let's say down, put the airpods on. y You will be able to hear everything that happens within range of the iPhone, as long as you have the range between the iPhone and the Airpods you will be able to hear it, so the way you enable it is quite simple, first make sure you have at least one of your headphones on your ear that way recognizes that you're paired, then we tap on the Settings app and then we tap on the control center, we'll go ahead and open custom controls and if you didn't know this is where you can add different options to your control center and the one we're going to add is this one over here with a plus sign that says listen, so we're going to tap more there and you'll see it pop up at the top for our options, we're going to pull down our control center right here and you'll see that we have the little ear icon that says that we've added live listening at the top and you can see it's off right now.
Tap to turn it on automatically. Now I can hear everything in my ear. It's a little weird and feels like an echo. There's no way for it to show it to you on camera, but you can tap to turn it off and that's it. It works again, if you wanted to use this feature, the only option or reason you would want to use it is if you had it in another room and wanted to hear what was going on, so use it at your own risk. I don't condone any kind of spying or anything like that, but that's a feature you can use with the Air Pods, so there's that.
