AirPods Skip when running

Hi,


I love my AirPods but they skip like crazy when I put my phone in my pocket and walk around. I bought them for running and when I run with my phone in my pocket it's someone is shaking a discman from 1997. Unlistenable!


Works fine on my ipad (no skipping) but with iphone SE it is unlistenable.


I have tried pairing and unpairing, forgetting and repairing, turning off wifi still no luck.

iPhone SE, iOS 12
