How to reset airpods

Imagine you’re out for a run or commuting to work, and your beloved AirPods suddenly stop connecting to your devices or start acting strangely, like the audio quality has plummeted or one earbud is silent. Frustrated, you consider reaching for your old wired earbuds instead, but before you do, you remember that sometimes a simple reset can fix these issues. If you’re wondering how to breathe new life into your AirPods and get them working like new again, you’re not alone–many people face this dilemma and are seeking a straightforward solution.

To reset your AirPods, follow these steps: Place your AirPods in their case and close the lid. Wait for 30 seconds, then open the lid. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case until the status light flashes amber, then white. Your AirPods are now reset and can be reconnected to your devices.

To reset your AirPods properly, start by ensuring they are charged and placed in their charging case. Close the lid for about 30 seconds. After waiting, open the lid to make sure they are still charged and ready for pairing. Now, locate the small setup button on the back of the charging case. Press and hold that button for about 15 seconds. You’ll notice the status light on the front of the case will first flash amber, indicating that the AirPods are resetting, and then flash white, which signals that they are now in pairing mode. This means your AirPods are reset and ready to be paired with your devices again, effectively troubleshooting connection issues or other performance problems. You can now go to the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone or computer to reconnect your freshly reset AirPods.
