AirPods max turn on and connect to phone but won’t play any noise

My AirPods Max connect to my phone but when I put them on, the don’t do as they usually do which is to connect to my phone with transparency and appear as if they’re connected, instead, it just sounds like if they were off. I haven’t dropped them, gotten them wet, or anything else that could’ve damaged them.
