"Airpods overheating and stopping to work on Metro: I was on the metro and a heard a ringing noise, then my right airpod started overheating (very hot) I had to take it out because of the pain. Then it continued to heat up more, I put it in the case and I could still feel the heat from the case. Later the right airpod completely stopped working and wouldn’t charge."
-------
Cool Down the AirPods:
For a few hours, perform the following...
- Unplug: any cables
- Place it Atop: a Laptop Cooler
- Keep it in: an open space
- Keep it Out of: direct sunlight
Don't Leave these In Standalone for a Long Time.
The batteries can corrode, and it can be due to getting a hot or cold temperature. Leaving them in standalone, this can occur.
Where to Go from here:
For safety concerns, I recommend keeping them out of your ears and then recycling them. It is time for new ones.
