Can’t get my AirPods to connect

Why can’t I get my 2nd gen air pods to connect . When I put them in my ear you can hear that it connects but when I try to play music it doesn’t play instead it plays on the phone. I’ve tried restarting, I’ve tried repairing, I’ve checked Bluetooth to make sure it’s connected just don’t know what else to do

Update your iPhone to the latest iOS


Follow this article https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209463 to reset the AirPods.

If the issue still happens then you may want to contact Apple for a potential replacement (assuming you have limited warranty or AppleCare+)
