How to fix connection problems with your AirPods
To solve this problem, we will look at all possible solutions, from the easiest to the most difficult, to pair your AirPods.
Step 1: Get Closer: This sounds simple, but the first thing you should try is approach to your device. The acceptable range between AirPods and your supported device is about 30 feet. However, a lot depends on your environment. Electrical interference, walls, and other obstacles can cause connection problems that can only be resolved by placing AirPods closer to your iPhone, iPad, or other device.

Step 2: Check the battery of your AirPods: A low battery can also be a factor. Make sure your AirPods and device are charged. Otherwise, the connection will not work.
There are different ways to check the battery life of your AirPods. One simple method is to keep the AirPods case (with the headphones inside) close to your mobile device. This should launch a pop-up window showing the battery level of the AirPods and the charging case. You can also use the battery widget.
You’ll also receive notifications on your iPhone or iPad when your AirPods battery drops to 20%, 10%, and 5%. You’ll also hear a low battery tone in one or both AirPods.

Step 3: Reset your AirPods: We know, we know, it’s a basic “turn off and on again” methodology, but it works.
If you’re using iOS 16 or later, u settings menu on your iOS device, you’ll see your AirPods listed just above Airplane Mode — access the connectivity menu this way and find Forget this device.
If you don’t see them there, go to Bluetooth, find your AirPods and select the blue “i” icon next to them. Once there, take your pick Forget this device.

Step 4: Restart your device: If you still can’t connect AirPods, try restarting a supported device to see if that fixes the problem.
Step 5: Update software: You can also see if there is a software update for your mobile device. If there is, please take the time to update it. You should also take the necessary steps to update the AirPods themselves.
