Hey there frogn8r,
We want to help make sure you're able to use your AirPods as expected.
Just to confirm, is this happening with multiple apps or just Pandora? We ask in order to help isolate the issue to the app or the AirPods? Would it be possible to test using different apps? Is this seems to be isolated to Pandora you can use the steps listed below.
If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open
We would also recommend resetting your AirPods if you experience this using multiple applications. Give all the steps a try and keep us updated.
