We’ve all been there. You flip open your AirPods and pop them in your ears, only to find that one isn’t working. Luckily, there’s a simple fix. The same steps apply to the original AirPods, the AirPods 2, the AirPods 3, the first-generation AirPods Pro and the AirPods Pro 2.
Open the Bluetooth section in your iPhone’s Settings menu.
3. Find your AirPods in the list of Bluetooth devices and tap the i symbol next to it.
Tap Forget This Device to reset your AirPods.
5. Once your AirPods are forgotten, open the charging case’s lid and hold down the button on the back for about 15 seconds. The light on the front should flash white.
6. Now, hold your AirPods in their charging case with the lid open near your iPhone or iPad. You should see on-screen instructions for pairing them, just like the first time you set them up.
