Audio Issues with Airpods
If you’re having trouble hearing audio from your AirPods, it’s possible that you’re too far away from the source. The range of the AirPods is roughly 100 feet, but this may shorten significantly when you encounter obstructions or sources of interference. If you can put your iPhone in your pocket or keep it close to you, this won’t be a problem anymore. Wi-Fi interference may cause the chip in your AirPods to temporarily malfunction. Turning off Wi-Fi on your iPhone, or changing locations to take a call, might help.
Why Does AirPods Pause?
The proximity sensors on your AirPods sense when you put them in or take them out of your ears. Putting them in your ears or out will play or pause the music or video you are listening to. If your music or video pauses when your AirPods are still in your ears, there’s a chance that one or more of the sensors has an issue or the settings are not set properly.
You can change this feature for the AirPods. On your iPhone, go to Settings – Bluetooth – AirPods. Then choose if you want Automatic Ear Detection ON or OFF.
Common AirPod Issues
If you wear the AirPods every day, ear wax or dirt can build up on them. If this happens, sometimes the proximity sensor will not not work properly if ear wax or dirt is built up. This will have the same effect as having your earphones in your ears all of the time. If this is the issue, clean the AirPods and the case with some simple rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip. Remove all wax and dirt, let dry, and try again. If you still have issues, then do a full reset.
