How to reset the AirPods Pro

Before you try any other methods of fixing your AirPods Pro, you should attempt to reset them. This process is simple and straight forward, as it forces the AirPods to forget any paired devices.

Here is how to reset the AirPods Pro:

1. Place both AirPods Pro in the charging case.
2. Close the lid.
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Open the lid.
5. From your Android phone, open the Settings app.
6. Locate the AirPods Pro from your list of connected devices.
7. Tap Forget.
8. With the AirPods Pro case lid open, press and hold the button on the back for 15 seconds.
9. Once the light starts flashing amber, open the Settings app on your phone.
10. Pair your AirPods Pro.

While you are pressing the button, watch the charging light on the front of the case. The light will flash white and then amber after a few seconds. Once the light turns amber, the AirPods Pro have been reset.

Then, just open the case, unlock your iPhone and pair the two products together just like you did on launch day. It’s important to note that the AirPods Pro will unpair themselves from any of your iCloud-connected devices, in addition to the iPhone.
