I recently received Macbook Air 15.3 along Airpod Pro 2nd Gen USB-C. When trying to connect Airpod Pro with Macbook, the Airpod shows as Headphone, the model name also shows as headphones. Also for control it's shows headphone settings but the button doesn't work. Not sure if anyone else have encountered this issue and if Apple has a fix.
Issue is resolved after upgrading from MacOS Ventura to MacOS Sonoma released on 26th September, 2023. Thanks community members from your reply and support.

@Lissy_12, I think you misread the issue. The issue is not connecting or not. It is that there is a setting in the Bluetooth settings for the 2nd gen Airpod Pro's that says Headphone Settings that goes nowhere. I feel like the 1st Gen did...but I could be mixing this up with my iPad.
Hi MiBlueApple,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! We would recommend the steps in the article below that may help:
If your AirPods or AirPods Pro won't connect
1. Update your Mac to the latest version of macOS.
2. Put both AirPods in the charging case and make sure that both AirPods are charging.
3. To make sure that Bluetooth is on, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click 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, click the X to the right of your AirPods to remove them from the list.
5. Close the lid, wait 15 seconds, then open the lid.
6. Press and hold the setup button on the charging case for up to 10 seconds. The status light should flash white, which means that your AirPods are ready to connect.
7. Hold the charging case, with your AirPods inside and the lid open, next to your Mac.
8. Follow the steps on the screen of your Mac.
9. If you still can't connect, reset your AirPods or contact Apple Support.
Hope this helps!
Have a great day.
