AirPods Pro's won't connect to MacBook Pro 16"

I have followed all of Apple's directions and procedures for connecting the AirPods Pro to my MacBook Pro 16", but every attempt results in "Connection Failed" in Bluetooth settings. I have tried resetting the AirPods each time, without success. I'm running Catalina 10.15.4, checked for OS updates and have tried multiple restarts. The AirPods connected perfectly with my iPhone 11 Pro and iPad Pro 12.9. I even tried disabling Bluetooth on both devices to rule out that being the problem.


I wanted to check in here to see if anyone had solution before I returned them to Apple for a refund.

I have the same problem. It connects and disconnects in seconds. It sounds choppy and dissimilar tones. The Airpod fails to connect via bluetooth to the MacBook Pro. With all other devices like Iphone, Ipad connects seamlessly. I have tried all options, even buying ToothFairy, but none worked. Please help with this problem.


The MacBook Pro connects to other devices via Bluetooth without problems. The only problem is that the Airpods cannot be connected.


I forgot to mention that I also tried the command "sudo pkill blued" and finally completely formatting the mac. The problem persists. Any solution?
