AirPods / Beats



AirPods / Beats Popup

  • The popup can appear in multiple modes: On-Hover, Panel Button, and/or Bluetooth Submenu.
  • It shows a circular battery widget, supporting either a single battery (headset) or three separate levels for Left, Right, and Case.
  • The case battery is shown only when the AirPods report it, usually when the case is charging or when at least one AirPod is inside.

AirPods / Beats ANC and Conversation Awareness

  • Only certain AirPods models support ANC mode.
  • Some models support ANC but not Ambient mode.
  • Some models also support Conversation Mode.

Button Visibility

  • The ANC option (if supported) is only shown when one or both earbuds are in the ears.
  • The Conversation Mode (if supported) option is only shown when both earbuds are in the ears.

AirPods / Beats Preferences

When enabled, the system can detect AirPods and Beats devices among connected Bluetooth devices. It communicates over L2CAP sockets to support features such as:

  • Battery level reporting
  • In-ear detection for automatic pause/play of media
  • Control of ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) mode (if supported)
  • Conversation Awareness mode (if supported)
  • Adaptive noise level customization (if supported)

Configuration by Device

Configure per device settings if supported

Icon selection

Choose which icon style to display in the panel and quick menu:

  • Device icons: Select from the available options for your headset type (single-battery or dual-battery devices).
  • Case icon: For models that report a case battery, an additional case icon can be selected.

These options let you customize how your device appears in the indicator.

Pause when device is not worn

When enabled, media playback automatically pauses when the earbuds are removed and resumes based on the selected behavior:

  • Default behavior: Uses the device’s standard in-ear detection for pausing and resuming.
  • Resume with both earbuds: Playback resumes only when both earbuds are worn.
  • Resume with any earbud: Playback resumes as soon as at least one earbud is worn.

Conversation awareness volume Limit

If supported by device, this setting limits media volume during active conversations to enhance awareness of your surroundings and reduce distractions.

  • When conversation mode is triggered (based on supported device capabilities), the system automatically reduces media volume to a user-defined percentage of the maximum volume.

  • This helps ensure you can still hear important external sounds while music or other media is playing.

Adjustable Range

  • You can set the volume limit to any value between 0 and 50.
  • Values are interpreted as a percentage of the device’s maximum volume.
  • Note: If the current playback volume is already below the specified limit, no adjustment will be made.

Other settings:

Other settings are self explanatory similar to settings available in iPhone / iPads / Macs
