Mission: how to reset AirPod case. Directive: follow the steps below. Conclusion: emergency situation avoided.

We’ve all encountered the struggle of AirPods going a little haywire. Your AirPods aren’t syncing or only one AirPod is working. Luckily, your AirPods probably only need a factory reset. 

A factory reset, or a hard reset, restores the default settings of the device you’re doing it on. With AirPods, it returns them to the setting they had when they were brand new and just left the box. It’s super easy and you can do it yourself.

Side Note: If you can’t see the light through your AirPods Pro decorative case, it might be a good idea to take the AirPods out of their case. 

Check if Your Apple AirPods Need to Charge

If the light from your AirPods case is off when the lid is open, it means your AirPods are off. If you are wondering to turn off AirPod case, don’t fret. They automatically go into a type of sleep mode when your AirPods are in the charging case. 

An off light means your AirPods just need to charge. Plug them in for 15 - 20 minutes. If the problem persists after a good charge, carry on to the next steps. 

Put Your AirPods Back in the Charging Case and Close the Lid

After you’ve charged your AirPods, make sure both AirPods are securely in the case. Close the lid of your AirPods charging case and wait 30 seconds.

Can you pair two AirPods from different cases? Yes, you can. If you have lost or broken an AirPod, you can use a different one as long as they are from the same generation. Put the AirPods in the case, close the lid, wait 30 seconds and move on to the next step. 

Open AirPods Charging Case

Open your AirPods charging case lid and make sure the status light is white. For AirPods Pro, the status light will be amber.

On your Apple device, go to Settings and click on Bluetooth. A list of your connected devices will show. Tap on the More Info option - a blue “I” next to your AirPods name on the list of connected devices. On the displayed options, find and click on Forget this Device and follow the prompts. 

If you have an Android device, go to Settings, click on Connections, and tap on the Bluetooth option. Find the AirPods on the list of Paired devices and click on the gear icon to the right. Press unpair at the bottom right of the page. 

If you don’t see your AirPods on the list of connected devices, skip the above step and move on to the next.
