My solution to low volume issue with AirPods and 7th gen iPod Nano. After a lot of trial and error, the final piece of the puzzle was to "Restore" my Nano using iTunes. That brought the volume up to iPhone and iPad standards. (I have no clue why this works!) But make sure the following items are always the case:


1.Before transferring music or podcasts to Nano from iTunes make sure you've cranked up the base volume by selecting the items, hitting Get Info, then hitting Options, and then sliding the volume control to 100%. Save that setting.


2.On the Nano, go to Settings, turn Sound Check, Volume Limit, and EQ off. (If you experiment with EQ, you'll see that any setting lowers the overall volume.)


( There are suggestions to Reset your Nano by pressing the Home and Power button simultaneously, but for me that made no difference. Resetting your Nano may cause the settings to revert to default status. So if you are having other issues and have to reset, make sure to check that Sound Check, etc. are off afterwards.)


This worked for me and probably made the difference between keeping my AirPods and returning them.

They might work with the iPod Nano. They work with Android smartphones the old-fashioned way (go to settings - Bluetooth) so in theory they should. But on the other hand I know that some people have had trouble with some Bluetooth devices not showing up in settings. It could work or it may not. I hope this helps. :-)
