my airpods are playing from the outside

Hi

Have you tried cleaning your AirPods to see if the issue persists? Here's how:

"Clean your AirPods and AirPods Pro

• Don’t run AirPods or AirPods Pro under water.
• Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• If your AirPods or AirPods Pro are exposed to anything that might cause stains or other damage—for example, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, perfumes, solvents, detergent, acids or acidic foods, insect repellent, sunscreen, oil, or hair dye:
  • Wipe them clean with a cloth slightly dampened with fresh water and dry with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Allow them to completely dry before placing in the charging case.
  • Don't attempt to use them until they're completely dry.
• Make sure not to get any liquid in the openings.
• Clean the microphone and speaker meshes with a dry cotton swab.
• Don't use sharp objects or abrasive materials to clean your AirPods or AirPods Pro."
