Airpods pro 2 disconnecting when answering call

I just bought some airpods pro 2 yesterday. I’m currently using an Iphone Xs. Everytime I answer a call with the headphones they disconnect and take about 10-15 sec until they reconnect. I’m on ios 16.1.1. The store replaced me the airpods as they thought it’s a hardware the defect but it’s the same with the new pair. I called the apple support and they couldn’t **** me as well and told me to reset my phone and update it again with the computer but nothing helped. I’m really hoping that this is something that can be resolved with a software update otherwise I just threw 300€ into the waste. I read on reddit that multiple people have this issue using the iphone Xs. Please let me know if there is a fix ASAP

iPhone XS, iOS 16

Airpods Pro 2 latest firmware (6A301) + IPhone XS Max IOS 17 Problems Solved.


Hello good people in this forum,


I have logged in specifically to let all who have problems with the airpods pro 2 and IPhone XS Max know that the problems related to these have been fixed. However, in order to see this resolved you have to erase all content (format if you will) the IPhone completely. After erasing content, do not restore data from other devices, but rather use the ICloud to sync contacts and other data types. I have talked to Apple about this and we seemed to have managed to get the root cause of this aching problem many have encountered.


Post doing this, I have encountered a fully working, fully connected, and completely working voice call operations without all the previous behavior of disconnection from the IPhone and not being able to take in voice calls via the airpods.


I hope this finds you well,


David Bendayan

I have an iPhone 13 and and an XS. the Airpod Pro 2nd Gen works seamlessly on my iPhone 13 but not on the XS. Especially when receiving an incoming call - Though the phone shows the airpods connected, I dont hear any sound on the airpods. only after fiddling around with the bluetooth or by toggling the speaker/airpods during the call -it gets connected. This is really very annoying. As I update this post, I have already chatted with the Apple customer care agents and have escalated it to their senior support engineer. Expecting a call back in the next 3-4 hours. Will post a reply if I see a resolution.

So has anyone found a solution to this? Sucks apple hasn't addressed this, not like either is a new product at this point.


Im also an a iPhone XS with iOS 16.4.1, Airpod Pro firmware 5E133. Every... single... incoming call... results in dropped connection and wont reconnect for a good 15 seconds +.


So every call starts with "hello, can you hear me... can you hear me now.." etc

This is on my work device so not a very professional way to start a conversation with a client.


I've hard reset both my iPhone and the airpods. I've disconnected/reconnected the airpods several times. I've tried (as someone here suggested) turning off Auto Ear Detection. Nothing works.


Luckily was able to return the AirPods as Ive only had them for a week. I wont be getting another pair since it sounds like they'll just do the same thing. Maybe once I finally upgrade my XS next year or so I'll get them again.


Outside of this issue I loved them, sound was excellent, ANC was great for buds, great battery life. Really freaking annoying as I wanted to keep them badly!


If this gets resolved please, please, please come back and post here so those of us that returned them but would like to own them can know.
