AirPods disconnecting from bluetooth

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, Sharkware 101.

If I understand your post correctly, your AirPods disconnect during calls. I understand how inconvenient that would be. I’d like to help.

Resetting was a great place to start troubleshooting. Try the additional steps in this article:

Let us know if that resolves this issue for you. 

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Take care.

This isn't helpful. The problem is not that they won't connect. The problem is that they repeatedly disconnect after initially connecting!
