Hey there dinaw1,
Do you have any other Bluetooth accessories that you use with your iPhone? If so, that could be causing some interference.
- Let's go to: Settings > Bluetooth, and disconnect any accessories other than your AirPods.
- Test a music app that works well when you're not using Bluetooth (for instance test through the device speakers and make sure music works there) Test your AirPods again. If the issue continues, let us know if music does play from the device speakers or another source.
- Test your AirPods with another device. If they work there, the issue is with the iPhone rather than the AirPods.
- If the issue continues, follow the guidance on this page: If the sound from your wireless headphones cuts out or is distorted - Apple Support
Take care.
