How to Turn ON Mono Audio for AirPods on iPhone and iPad

Written By Dhvanesh Reviewed By How-to 2 Min Read

Stereo audio has two distinct channels for left and right ears; this means there are different audios on both sides, which delivers Stereo Experience. On the other hand, Mono audio will put out all sounds on one or more speakers. It can be handy if you have hearing impairments or if you’re sharing your AirPods, as all the audio data is available even on single AirPod.

Apart from other AirPods settings, this accessibility feature on iPhone and iPad will make sure that you never miss any audible data while listening to audiobooks, songs or other audios with headphones on. This can even be used with any audio file having improper channel balance. Enabling Mono audio is quite simple. Let’s see how it works!

How to Enable or Disable Mono Audio on iPhone and iPad

Step #1. First off, Pair your AirPods with iPhone or iPad.
