Hey!


I had a similar problem to this when I had my first airpods. I went to the apple store and they couldn't solve it either.


After fiddling with them, I found out that only one of my airpods was actually paired to my phone. (If your left airpod isn't showing when you're checking the battery through your phone, this might help). I'm unsure of how they unsynced in the first place, and even got a replacement bud from the apple store before figuring this out.


I removed the airpods from my device

I removed one airpod from the case, pressed the back button until it was white.

I placed the airpod back in, pressed the button once more until it was white.

I then paired them back onto my phone and tested them, and it worked.
