Apple Music starts automatically when I remove my AirPod Pro's

This has been happening for quite some time. Whenever I remove my AirPod Pros from my ears to place them in their case, Apple Music starts playing on either my Macbook Pro, or sometimes my iPhone 13. I was reading possible causes, so I guess I should note that I am a subscriber to Apple Music.


Any fixes or advice?

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

Hi dr_freeze,


We'd recommend resetting the AirPods and pairing them again to see if the issue persists. You can learn how to do that here:


"You might need to reset your AirPods if they won't charge, or to fix a different issue.


  1. Put your AirPods in their charging case, and close the lid.
  2. Wait 30 seconds.
  3. Open the lid of your charging case, and put your AirPods in your ears.
  4. Go to Settings > Bluetooth. Or go to Settings > [your AirPods].
    • If your AirPods appear there as connected, tap the More Info button  next to your AirPods, tap Forget This Device, then tap again to confirm.
    • If your AirPods don't appear there, continue to the next step. 
  1. Put your AirPods in their charging case, and keep the lid open. 
  2. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for about 15 seconds, until the status light on the front of the case flashes amber, then white.*"


Here's a link to the full resource: How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support


Take care.
