Why do my AirPods Pro 2 keep disconnecting?

I bought my wife new AirPods Pro 2 for Christmas and they constantly disconnect when listening to music or watching videos. It will show as connected, yet no sound comes through. Happens randomly but constantly. Help please, too expensive to have these many issues…

Hi there carlosey,


If these AirPods Pro are disconnecting unexpectedly, these steps from If your AirPods won't connect can help resolve what's happening:

If you can't connect to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. Make sure that your iPhone or iPod touch has the latest version of iOS or that your iPad has the latest version of iPadOS.
2. Put both AirPods in the charging case and make sure that both AirPods are charging.
3. To make sure that Bluetooth is on, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
4. If your AirPods are connected, make sure that they're selected as your audio device. If your AirPods appear in the list of devices but they don't connect, go to the next step.
5. Close the lid, wait 15 seconds, then open the lid. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the charging case for up to 10 seconds. The status light on the front of the charging case should flash white, which means that your AirPods are ready to connect.

6. Hold the charging case, with your AirPods inside and the lid open, next to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
7. Follow the steps on the screen of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
8. Test your AirPods. If you still can't connect, reset your AirPods.


If this continues after looking over that, also happens in multiple locations and while connected to multiple devices, then Apple Support would be the best equipped to look into this further. Contact them here: Contact - Official Apple Support

This post is garbage, just general “is it plugged in” type advice. I’ve done all of these things, and I’m still having constant disconnects. This suddenly started happening after YEARS without any issues at all. Apple pooched some code around the I’m sure very complicated Bluetooth handling that causes this to start happening, and I find the lack of any clear and direct response from Apple a little appalling.
