Use iOS 11 AirPod features on iOS 10 device

[tayshumway]

If you want the new iOS 11 features for the AirPods but you don't want to download the beta on your every day device, download iOS 11 beta on a secondary device. Connect AirPods to that device and change the left and right AirPods settings to your liking (skip, back, pause/play, Siri). When you connect back to your iOS 10 device, the settings will be preserved.
