Macbook Air M1 AirPods issues

I have both AirPods Pro and V2 and they're both experiencing issues where every 10-15 minutes they cut out briefly, like a brief stutter. I tried resetting the AirPods, no dice. I've read about others having bluetooth issues with the M1 Macs, perhaps this is related.

I think so yes. I've been following a lengthy discussion thread about this on Macrumors and it seems like you have 3 options: 1. Load 11.2 beta, 2. Turn off wifi, or 3. Select 2.4ghz wifi if you have that option. Before loading 11.2 I switched over to 2.4Ghz and that solved the issue.

I have the same problem, don't connect Airpods Pro with my MacBook Air M1 (BigSur 11.2.3 20D91),


So, with my Iphone 8 working well, but i can not use with my MacBook Air.

When i try to connect, the icon always rotates and nothing happens.

I've tried unpair and pairing them again, but it didn't have any effect.



Are there solutions to the problem?


Thanks.

I was having all kinds of funky issues with AirPods handoff between my iPhone and my Macbook that I finally turned off the auto-switching. If you connect your AirPods Pro to your iPhone then go into bluetooth settings for the AirPods there's a setting called "Connect to this iPhone"...I switched that from Automatically to When Last Connected To This iPhone, and the phone doesn't try to grab the AirPods every single time I pick up the phone.
