So you’ve plugged in your AirPods<\/strong><\/a>, and now one of them isn’t working. You may have a Bluetooth glitch. Turning off and on Bluetooth will fix this problem. Try another AirPod or try another device to ensure that it’s the AirPods themselves that are not working. If none of these steps fix the problem, try resetting your device. You’ll want to restart your device after this step.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Depending on the cause, this issue may affect only one AirPod. You might have an issue with the left or right AirPod. The battery may be dead or the connection may be too weak. Sometimes the problem may happen suddenly, while you’re listening to music, podcasts, or phone calls. In any case, troubleshooting it is simple. Follow these steps to resolve the issue and save yourself a trip to the Genius Bar.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Restarting your device can also fix the problem. This will clear the active memory and can solve the issue. To restart your device, simply slide the power button to the left and back to turn it off and on. Once you’ve completed these steps, your device should be working again. If you still cannot find a solution, you can always visit your local The Fix store. There you can talk to The Fix store representative about the issue or contact the manufacturer directly.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another solution is to charge your AirPods<\/strong><\/a>. This will solve both problems. Make sure the charging case is close to your iPhone. If both are connected, open the charging case and check the batteries in both. If one AirPod has a low battery, it’s likely the problem. If the charging case is empty, re-install both AirPods. When done, you should be able to use the second AirPod again.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If none of these methods work for your One AirPod, you can contact The Fix support. They can provide technical support to help you resolve the issue. If the issue persists, please check the manufacturer’s website for instructions. They will have a detailed guide on how to fix your problem. We hope this article helped you fix the problem, and we thank you for reading. If you’re still having trouble, feel free to let us know in the comments section.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to use the AirPods headphones with your second device, you must be in pairing mode. The second device must be close to your primary one. This way, the volume can be adjusted from the primary earbud. Lastly, you must hold both the primary and secondary earbuds close to each other. If you’re using an Android device, you must manually switch the audio output devices.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
