When I put my AirPods in only one of them is playing the music and the other stops

Hi there Heyy125,

Thanks for connecting with us in Apple Support Communities! We understand only one of your AirPods is playing audio when wearing both of them. Let's work together to sort this out.

To begin, is this happening with the left or right side of your AirPods, or does the issue seem to be happening with both? Did you try the steps in the related article linked in blue at the top left corner of this page? If so, what were the results exactly?

Also, make sure you've tried cleaning your AirPods with the steps here:

How to clean your AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and EarPods

Give those steps a try, and let us know how it goes. We'll take a closer look from there.

Cheers.
