If you’re having problems with your AirPods Pro, such as connection issues, audio dropouts, or battery life problems, a reset may be the answer. Resetting your AirPods Pro will restore them to their factory settings, which can often fix minor problems. <\/p>
But how do you go about this? <\/p>
Let’s find out…<\/p>
Here are a few quick methods to reset AirPods Pro:<\/p>
If your AirPods do not reset after following the steps above, here are some alternatives:<\/p>
Dirt and debris can become trapped on the stem of your AirPods or within the case, preventing them from fully contacting the charging plate. This may cause your charging case to fail to recognize your AirPods, making it difficult to properly reset them.<\/p>
Wipe down your AirPods and case with a lint-free cloth or paper towel, as well as Q-tips dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Pay attention to the tail of the AirPods and the inside of the charging case.<\/p>
If none of the above methods successfully reset your AirPods, it could be a hardware issue.<\/p>
The best thing you can do in this case is to contact Apple support.<\/p>
Apple introduced a dedicated AirPods tab in the Settings app of your iPhone last year, as well as Personalized Spatial Audio for compatible AirPods products, with iOS 16.<\/p>
You can now retrieve your Apple device and bring it close to your AirPods to reconnect them. Keep the AirPods charging case lid open and wait for your Apple device to restart setup procedures (if your AirPods don’t appear, close the lid and reopen it). Finish the setup and pairing, and you’re finished! You’ll need to re-answer some basic questions about learning gesture controls and Siri, as well as fit tests for AirPods Pro, and so on.<\/p>
Resetting your AirPods may be necessary for a variety of reasons. If the AirPods aren’t charging, resetting them usually solves the problem. Furthermore, if the AirPods won’t connect to your device or keep dropping the connection, or if you’re experiencing software glitches, disconnecting and resetting the AirPods is the first thing you should try to fix the problem. However, if resetting does not resolve the problem, you should contact Apple.<\/p>
Because AirPods can only be associated with one Apple ID, you must remove them from their original Apple ID. To do so, the previous owner must open the Find My app on their iOS device, iPad, or Apple computer and delete the device from the Find My settings. Check out Apple’s guide on how to remove a device from an Apple ID for more information.<\/p>
If you don’t have your Apple device nearby, you can still reset your AirPods or AirPods Pro. To begin, ensure that they are in their charging case and that the lid is open. <\/p>
Then, for 15 seconds, press and hold the button on the back of the case until the status light flashes amber, then white. <\/p>
Once your device is within range, place your AirPods or AirPods Pro in their charging case with the lid open and close to your Apple device. Then, follow the instructions on your device’s screen\u2014they may differ depending on the device type.<\/p>
AirPods and AirPods Pro can only be linked to one Apple ID. If you want to use someone else’s AirPods or AirPods Pro, they must first remove them from their Apple ID. To do so, they must first launch the Find My app on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. <\/p>
Then, select the Items tab, followed by the Devices tab. After that, on the list of devices, click the AirPods or AirPods Pro, then select “Remove This Device,” then tap “Remove” to confirm. On a Mac, open the Find My app and select the Devices tab to remove AirPods or AirPods Pro from an Apple ID. Click the More Info tab (i) on the map, then “Remove This Device.”<\/p>
Yes, it is possible to reset used AirPods. There is, however, a catch: AirPods can only be connected to one Apple device at a time.<\/p>
Although AirPods can connect to devices with different Apple IDs, features like Find My AirPods are only available to the primary user of the AirPods.<\/p>
To reset AirPods Max, press and hold the digital crown and noise control button together. Check out our separate guide to resetting AirPods Max for more information.<\/p>
Reset AirPods cannot be tracked, even with their “Find My AirPods” features.<\/p>
The steps are the same if you are using an Android platform instead. Instead of having your AirPods automatically set up at the end, you will have to go to the Bluetooth section of your Android device and manually search for, then reconnect, your AirPods.<\/p>
After charging your AirPods Max for a minute, locate the Digital Crown and noise-control buttons on the same side of one earcup. The status light is located at the bottom of this earcup. Hold down both the Digital Crown and the Noise Control buttons for about 15 seconds, or until the light flashes amber and then white.<\/p>
