It sounds festive. The reason the sound turns down when you sing along is because Conversation Awareness is enabled. You can easily disable that.


1. Make sure your AirPods are connected to your iPhone.

2. Swipe down the Control Center and longpress the Volume Slider.

3. The middle button at the bottom; Conversation Awareness, should be disabled.


Now the sound no longer turns down when you talk or sing.
