Set the microphone to left, right, or automatic

There's a microphone in each Powerbeats Pro earbud, so you can make phone calls and use Siri. By default, Microphone is set to Automatic, so that either of your earbuds can act as the microphone. If you're using only one earbud, that earbud will be the microphone.

You can also set Microphone to Always Left or Always Right. These set the microphone to either the left or right earbud. That earbud will be the microphone even if you remove it from your ear or put it in the case. Here's how to change the microphone settings:

1. Go to Settings > Bluetooth on your iOS device.
