Airpods Pro Note 9

[Aeroit]

Here's the situation:

Brand new Apple Airpods Pro

Samsung Galaxy Note 9, most recent software

The headphones connect via bluetooth fine, play music, pause, skip, all that just like they're supposed to, but when I long press the button on them, it launchs Google Assistant, instead of turning on and off Active Noise Cancelation. I've already tried a couple third party apps and those didn't fix it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Aeroit

Hello Aeroit and welcome to Android Forums. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with your Airpods.
Perhaps forgetting the BT connection and establishing it anew might gain you something. It might be a problem with the Airpods. Temporarily disabling the assistant while listening to tunes might be a work-a-round. I hope another will have something better to offer.

If you were using the Apple Airpods with an Apple iPhone, that would activate Siri. And Google Assistant is Android's equivalent of Siri. I've got Huawei Freebuds and Sony headphones, and the long press on them can be reconfigured to toggle Noise Cancellation, using the Huawei and Sony apps respectively. And I think Apple will only support reconfiguring Airpods if you've got an iPhone.
