AirPods Pro keep randomly connecting to my iPhone while they are still in its case

i just forget device untill i use them again. dont think apple is going to resolve this untill an update comes out to maybe fix it

I have the same problem with my MBP, AirPods Pro keep randomly connecting to my mac when they are in their case.

I checked that they are clean, the case is clean, and the lid is properly closed.

So I have "Automatic Ear Detection" enabled and it still happens to me.

This is probably because of the optical sensors on the airpods pro the new airpods3 have skin sensors which will most likely solve this problem.

I have same problem. It is very annoying when you are speaking on important Zoom meetings with clients and suddenly your imac connects to your airpod pros sitting in their case then clicks off again.

This has been happening to me for awhile and it's only getting more and more frustrating. Especially annoying when I'm in a video call meeting and the audio input and output will randomly connect to my airpods while I'm speaking, so I suddenly appear muted to everyone else on the call -_-

I've resorted to just turning Bluetooth off when this happens, but this cannot be the best option....

I am having this exact same issue. Apple this is unacceptable and makes me question the firmware of the AirPods. It’s definitely unnerving to have your closed AirPods connect to whatever device you have unlocked.

Just chiming in to say I am experiencing the same issue with my AirPods Pro and MacBook Pro. Tried the usual suggestions, just getting very frustrated with how often it seems to be happening now - and disabling Bluetooth isn't an option as I use wireless keyboard + trackpad.

Model Number A2084

Version 4C165

Adding to the noise here, I'm having the same problem and its extremely frustrating for a $250 pair of airpods. I don't want automatic ear detection on, it drives me nuts, but I have to to fix this problem I guess...

My automatic ear detection has always been on and this still happens to me. For whatever reason, it's now happening constantly. It interrupts my work Zoom meetings. "forgetting the device" is not a "fix", rather a workaround that's not acceptable to have to reconnect them every time you want to use them. Since I use a Mac for work, ipad for personal and iPhone, it disconnects them from all my devices. For $250, this issue needs to get fixed by Apple ASAP.

After almost three years I have come to the conclusion that Apple AirPods Pro are an AWFUL PRODUCT.

I can't begin to describe the problems I've had with them, with both airpods being replaced under warranty TWICE because of distortion issues -- and now this problem.

So it's very frustrating when you go to bed in the evening with your airpods fully charged assuming that you will then wake up and go for a run with your fully charged airpods, only to discover that they have NO CHARGE because they've apparently been connected to your phone all night and PLAYING MUSIC IN THE CASE WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING.

And it's not the pods themselves; this has happened across the last two pairs. I can only assume it's the firmware.

SO PLEASE FIX IT.

Same issue here! After multiple “genius (******* hate this)” bar reservations and multiple long phone call, nothing changed.

Terrible product, terrible after sale support. No more things to say after all this time and time spent…

Wow glad that so many other people are getting this exact same issue - I thought I was going mad.

While the audio cut-outs in the car are annoying the biggest issue for me is the AirPods in the case.... cutting into my zoom meetings. I'll literally be talking or someone will be talking to me, and next thing up pops a message on my zoom that my airpod pro's has connected to the audio. Then I look like a clown fiesta in front of everyone and have to try and explain. Infuriating!!!!
