Use voice assistant with Beats on an Android device

When Beats are connected to your Android device, you can use your voice assistant to make phone calls, control audio playback, and more.

Change your settings to activate voice assistant with a button on your earphones

By default, when you press and hold a button on your left or right earbud, supported Beats earphones switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency modes. You can change the press-and-hold action to use one earbud to switch noise control modes and the other earbud to activate your voice assistant.

Before you begin, make sure you’ve installed the Beats app.
