- 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
