Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your AirPods 5, simply open the charging case near an unlocked iPhone or iPad and follow the on-screen prompts. Ensure your device is running the latest iOS version for full feature support. The included USB-C charging case ensures fast, modern compatibility with contemporary charging cables. To maintain the device, clean the exterior of the earbuds and the interior of the case regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid submerging the case in water, as only the buds themselves carry the IP57 rating. Keep the firmware updated by keeping the AirPods connected to your device while they are charging to ensure you always have the latest improvements.
