This is rare but not unlikely. Here are some fixes:


  • Take the AirPods out of the ear and put them back.
  • Bring the iPhone Control Center and turn off the Bluetooth connection. After a few seconds, tap on the AirPlay audio icon (or speaker icon from the call screen) and connect the AirPods again.
  • Put the AirPods in its case and take it out to use after around 15-30 seconds.
  • Restart your iPhone.
  • Unpair and repair your AirPods: Open the Settings app on iPhone → tap Bluetooth → tap (i) next to AirPods Pro name → tap Forget This Device and confirm. After this, put the AirPods in their case. Restart your iPhone. Now, finish the pairing setup again.
  • You may also make sure if your AirPods have the latest firmware version or not.
  • Finally, if nothing helps, try to take them to an Apple Store for physical/expert inspection.


Hope the above solutions help.
