Airpods issue.

I've had my Airpods for a while now, but this week I've been experiencing some issues with them. They keep disconnecting and reconnecting, and sometimes when I play a video or song, there's no sound. Additionally, the sound quality has started to glitch and cut off, and the videos stop every 10 seconds or so. What should I do?

You may want to check whether there is a firmware update available that hasn't yet automatically updated: See: About firmware updates for AirPods - Apple Support


Tip if needed: Leave AirPods connected to power overnight with the iPhone connected to wi-fi close by, so they can update automatically, (or use a Mac to update the firmware more quickly).


Else: If the latest firmware update is already in use, the below articles may help trouble-shoot

Check the sound has not been muted, and do not disturb, or silent, is not on, on the connected device or Mac.

Check your device or Mac has enough free memory / storage space to operate smoothly.
