Troubleshooting

AirPods won't pair with my device.

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Place AirPods in their case, open the lid, then press and hold the setup button on the back of the case until the status light flashes white. Select 'AirPods 4' from your device's Bluetooth settings. If issues persist, try restarting your device.

Sound quality is poor or distorted.

Check if the AirPods are clean, especially the speaker mesh. Earwax or debris can affect sound. Ensure your audio source is of good quality and that the AirPods are fully charged. Try resetting your AirPods by placing them in the case, closing the lid for 30 seconds, then reopening and re-pairing.

Battery drains quickly.

Confirm that the AirPods and charging case are fully charged. Ensure you're storing them in the charging case when not in use. Close any background apps on your connected device that might be heavily using audio. If the issue persists, try resetting your AirPods.

Microphone isn't picking up my voice clearly during calls.

Make sure the microphone vents on the AirPods are clean and free of debris. Check if Voice Isolation is enabled on your device during calls. If you're in a very noisy environment, try moving to a quieter area. Ensure AirPods are properly seated in your ears.

Quick press controls are unresponsive.

Ensure AirPods are properly connected to your device. Try removing and reinserting the AirPod. Check for any software updates for your connected device. A full reset of the AirPods can also resolve this.
