Factory Reset Fixing Pairing;

I can see that being the case. Resetting the device to Factory Settings is the last thing on someone’s list, because AirPods are extremely considered a secondhand device. Anything peculiar about the Factory Reset to point out?

Keep your AirPods Updated:

Firmware should be updated on a continual basis. So, all things are good there.


Audio Bluetooth is One-Device Only:

AirPods are connected through Bluetooth, and only one Bluetooth audio output can be used at a time. t is the way it is designed.

Yes absolutely it was my last hope as well. First of this journey 😁 I reset my network settings but it didn’t work, at last I reset all settings then it worked. At first I was thinking it has happened because of the new IOS update but it was a mistake. And like all the other problems apple support couldn’t help me at all, I figured it out by myself.
