Hello wally114,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, you're only able to get one EarPod to work. We'd like to help!


The article you came from, How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro, is a great resource.


  1. "Put your AirPods in their charging case, and close the lid.
  2. Wait 30 seconds.
  3. Open the lid of your charging case.
  4. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the More Info button  next to your AirPods. (If you don't see your AirPods in Settings > Bluetooth, just go to the next step.)
  5. Tap Forget This Device, and tap again to confirm.
  6. With the lid open, press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for about 15 seconds, until the status light flashes amber, then white.*"
  7. Reconnect your AirPods: With your AirPods in their charging case and the lid open, place your AirPods close to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Follow the steps on your device's screen.


Another great resource for help is: If your left or right AirPod isn't working


If these are regular EarPods then try the steps in this article: If your headphones don't work with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Let us know if you have any questions.
