    I’ve been having issues with my AirPods Pro not connecting to my iPhone. It sees them, but always requires a reboot. Though it connects to my Mac no problems.

      I’ve had the same issue. It seems to have more trouble when I’m connected to something else via Bluetooth already. Disconnecting everything before putting in an Airpod seems to work, but is pretty inconvenient.

        I don’t think that’s my issue. I’ve used the setting “connect when last connected to” to avoid those inadvertent automatic switches. And while I have used it with my ipad or Mac, not so much this summer. I would get them working after a phone reboot, and maybe a half day to day later they would stop connecting until phone reboot. Today I reset the airpods, hopefully the connection sticks.

        EDIT: I think I’m having a deeper problem with bluetooth on my iPhone. This page week I’ve also had to reset the connections on both cars. The only change I’ve made was starting to connect to my PC. Weird.

    My pair of AirPods has a good battery and would always disconnect after ~30s after playing anything, then never connect again until a reset. I have since given up any wireless listening experience.

    I am tempted by APP2, but I keep seeing stores about reliability. And that puts me off 🙁

      My AirPods Pro 1st gen and Airpods 1st gen both have reliability issues. They’ve never been dropped Ken undergone physical damage.

      For the AirPods Pro, the left ear has a jingling sound and has lower volume than the right. Unusable.

      For the Airpods, they work for about 10 seconds and then one or both of the buds lose connection
