How to Connect Airpods to Peloton
One of the most important parts of a workout is listening to music. The more fast-paced and energetic a song is, the faster and more active you will be.
Whether you’re cycling or running, Peloton offers a variety of ways to listen to music while exercising. Peloton’s exercise Bike, Bike+, Tread, and Tread+ all come with integrated speakers and a headphone jack.
Alternatively, you can also connect Bluetooth earbuds like the Apple AirPods, AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max.

How to Turn Up Volume on AirPods Using Siri
If the above solution did not solve the problem, link your AirPods with an Apple device, adjust the volume, and pair it with your Peloton. You can use Siri to control your AirPods volume level.
To increase the audio volume using Siri on first-generation AirPods:
- Double-tap the side of the AirPods.
- First say, “Hey, Siri,”
- Then say something like, “increase volume.”
To adjust the audio volume on second-generation or later AirPods, including AirPod Pro:
- You can say, “Hey, Siri,”
- Then “turn up the volume,” or ask Siri to adjust the volume by a percentage.
When you ask Siri to turn up the volume, she will do it in 12% increments. You can also tell Siri to turn up the volume by a certain percentage or to a certain percentage. You can say, “Hey, Siri, turn up the volume by 50%,” or “Hey, Siri, turn up the volume to 90%.”
When asking Siri to increase the volume by a certain percentage, be aware that the volume can become uncomfortably loud. You may also try cleaning your AirPods if these solutions don’t make it loud enough for you.
