Bluetooth stops playing randomly

Sometimes when I'm listening to music/podcasts using Bluetooth earbuds the sound will just stop for a second, like the Bluetooth is re-syncing or something. And with my earbuds it also likes to pause, then play between the buds and then go back to normal. Is this solvable by resetting the earbuds?

Hi Blinxmax,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today. It sounds like you are listening to music with Bluetooth earbuds and there is an interruption.


It's possible resetting or unpairing and re-pairing resolves the issue. Pair a third-party Bluetooth accessory with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


It is also possible there is some kind of interference nearby. Have a look here: Resolve Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues caused by wireless interference.


Have you ever tried testing music with a Bluetooth speaker? This could help isolate the issue to either your iPhone or your earbuds. Testing the earbuds with another device could also help isolate the issue.


Have a fantastic day!
