iPhone X and Airpod 2 connection issue

I have two iPhone X and have an unusual issue with one of the iPhones and my AirPods 2. This iPhone X will pair with the AirPods but will not connect when I need to use them. This iPhone however connects with my Apple Watch just fine and with an external BT speaker but just has a problem with the AirPods. I have tried all the YouTube videos and even reformatting this iPhone and before installing anything else I had the same issue. Has anyone had a similar issue. Please help.

Poor audio quality with AirPods Pro 2 since iOS 16 update : anyone else ? Hi Everyone, Once again, an iOS major update ruins audio quality over Bluetooth. I recently purchased AirPods Pro 2, and they sounded stellar on my iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS 15.7. Then iOS 16 (or 16.02) ruined that excellent audio quality. Soundstage has narrowed and is now poorly crowded. It is obvious on Apple Music with Dolby Atmos tracks. Going back to iOS 15.7 is not a solution since my Apple Watch updated to WatchOS 9 and is now incompatible with iOS 15.x. Even Apple Watch delivers better audio via Bluetooth (but no Dolby Atmos). Has anyone experienced the same ?

Airpods Pro 2 Connectivity Issues During Calls Devices: Airpods Pro Gen 2 iPhone XS ios : 16.1.1 Airpods pro gen 2 firmware: 5B58 My new airpods pro gen 2 do not work during incoming calls while it is clearly connected to my iPhone. Phone rings, i put my airpods on, it says ‘airpods connected’ on the screen, i answer but no sound. Also, caller cant hear me either. Same when i’m already using my airpods (listening to music), phone rings, i answer but nothing. Volume is up, sound output set to airpods, i confirm that airpods are connected but no sound. Mic not working too. For some reason it works when i am the one making the call. Also, couple of times it lost connection to my iPhone while listening to music. Tried resetting airpods connection(hard reset), restarting phone, resetting network settings on iPhone. Pretty much everything. Now what?

Issues since 5B58 firmware update? Running the latest software on my iPhone 14 Pro and iPad Air 4. Ever since AirPods firmware 5B58 was released, my AirPods Pro (1st Gen, manufactured in 2021) have been nearly worthless. The right Airpod constantly disconnects and is very difficult to get to reconnect to either device. If I pause a show and then hit play later, I’m getting intermittent sounds, as though I am a long way away from the source Bluetooth signal and it’s cutting out (even though I’m within two feet). And I’m getting recurrent crackling sounds in certain circumstances. They were working perfectly until this week, but now super frustrating. Anyone else experiencing issues?
