Have you tried resetting the AirPods?


  1. Go to Bluetooth settings and forget your AirPods
  2. Put both AirPods in their case, open the lid
  3. Hold that small button on the back of the case for about 10-20 seconds until the status light starts flashing amber
  4. Once the status light blinks amber three times, release that back button
  5. Now put your AirPods case (with AirPods inside) right next to your iPhone and hold the back button once more. Auto-pairing should initiate–press connect and go from there
