Why won't my AirPods 4th Gen pair?

I bought new airpods 4th generation. They worked perfectly up until yesterday where my right airpod wasnt working. I tried charging it but it didnt work so instead i pressed “forget this device” and the airpods have shown up on bluetooth since. They wont connect to any other devices ive tried to pair them with. I have tried everything i could to get them to connect again but they wont. The right airpod must be broken but now i cant even connect my left you because they are synced to eachother and cannot pair unless both are able to do so. Im very dossapointed as im only just after turning 17 and this was these were the first things i ever bought with my money ive earned just for them to break after a few weeks of use

Have you tried to reset them to see if the issues persist?


  1. Put your AirPods in their charging case, close the lid and wait 30 seconds.
  2. On an iPhone or iPad that's paired with your AirPods, go to Settings > Bluetooth:
    • If your AirPods appear in the My Devices list, tap the More Info button next to your AirPods, tap Forget This Device, then tap again to confirm.
    • If your AirPods don't appear in the list, continue to the next step.
  1. Open the lid of your charging case.
  2. Depending on which AirPods you have, press the setup button on the back of your case or tap the front of the case:


AirPods 4 case (all models)


  1. Double-tap the front of the case while the status light is on.
  2. Double-tap again when the status light flashes white.
  3. Double-tap a third time when the status light flashes faster. When the status light flashes amber then flashes white, you can reconnect your AirPods.


If the status light still doesn't flash white, find out what to do.
