I'm assuming you're using a Bluetooth headset then? Simply adjust the volume using the headset.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize this was the AirPods subforum. Say, "Hey, Siri, turn the volume up".

I don‘t think so. It’s odd that it can’t even be done with an Apple Watch, like one can with music or other audio. Seems like an oversight on Apples part unless someone else has a solution.

This is an AirPods thread so their question is most likely regarding their AirPods.

Oops! I always browse the forum using the "New Posts" or "Unanswered Threads" filters, so sometimes I forget to check the sub-forum ?

But can't you just say, "Hey, Siri, turn up the volume" like you can with music, etc? I guess that's a bit awkward, though, if you have another person actively on the line, since there's no way to mute your mic from the AirPods themselves. It sure would be cool if Apple allowed you to adjust the volume by sliding your finger up and down the stem button.

Yeah, I think Siri is supposed to be the method, but it would be awkward to interrupt a conversation that way, especially if it’s business.

Airpods Pro latest version - Exactly guys and Hey Siri while on a call doesn't appear to work either. Can one of you try?

Yeah, I just tried and it doesn't seem to work. In fact, Siri doesn't seem to respond to anything when on a call.

Is there a particular reason why you couldn't just have your phone with you or at least just move to your phone to adjust the volume?
