Troubleshooting
AirPods not connecting to device.
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Place AirPods in the charging case, close the lid, wait 15 seconds, then open the lid. Hold the setup button on the back of the case until the status light flashes white, then try re-pairing.
Only one AirPod is playing audio.
Place both AirPods in the charging case and ensure they are charging. Close the lid for a few seconds, then open it and try again. If the issue persists, reset your AirPods and re-pair them.
Sound quality is poor or distorted.
Check for debris or earwax buildup in the speaker mesh and microphone openings. Gently clean with a dry cotton swab. Ensure your audio source is of good quality and that the AirPods are fully charged.
Battery drains quickly.
Ensure the AirPods are fully seated in the charging case when not in use. Resetting your AirPods can sometimes resolve unusual battery drain. Also, check for software updates on your connected device.
Charging case is not charging wirelessly.
Ensure your wireless charging mat is Qi-certified and properly connected to power. Adjust the position of the case on the mat to ensure proper alignment with the charging coil.
