The trick to "reset" when AirPods aren't working well

When tech-related products such as computers, smartphones, and game consoles do not work well, it is often fixed by simply restarting. So do AirPods and iPhones. Unpairing and re-pairing will usually suffice. However, there are some problems that cannot be solved by pairing alone. For example, you may not be able to find your AirPods on your device, or your AirPods will disconnect quickly. I just want to enjoy music and movies without disturbing the people around me, but I'm just getting frustrated.

How to reset AirPods, Beats and other Bluetooth headphones

Let's see how to do a hard reset from AirPods. First, unpair your AirPods and your device. Open your Bluetooth settings from your iPhone or iPad and tap the "i" mark next to your AirPods. Scroll down, tap Unregister this device, and select Unregister device in the pop-up. On Mac, open Bluetooth from System Preferences, right-click AirPods and select Disconnect. Then put the AirPods back in the charging case. Close the lid and press and hold the button on the case for about 15 seconds. Then the light turns orange and blinks 3 times. When you unbutton and the light turns white, your AirPods are ready to pair again. This work is the same for Beats. Unpair the device and Beats, put the Beats in the case, press and hold the button for 15 seconds, and the light will glow red. For AirPods Max, the approach is slightly different. It's the same up to unpairing the headphones, but instead of pressing the button for 15 seconds, press and hold the digital crown and noise control button at the same time for 15 seconds. The LED should flash orange. Try the same method with other Bluetooth earphones and headphones. However, it is possible that this method is not standard. Because, only the devices made by Apple are introduced here. It's no wonder that third-party products take different approaches. If you're having trouble resetting, it's a good idea to find out how to reset your Bluetooth headphone model. 2021 AirPods (3rd generation) 22,838 View on Amazon
