AirPods Pro: Airpod Pro Left Earbud Not Connecting to Charging Case

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 15:19:02 -0700

for a while now, I realised how my left earbuds have a really hard time connecting properly to the charging case. I only noticed after continuously picking up my aipods and find out the left one is empty.

I did contact apple customer service once and they suggested to bring it to an apple repair store. The only available near me happened to be an authorised store and not an actual apple store. I did book a repair and they took it in and made me come back after 1h, only to then tell me there’s nothing they can do?

They did however, clean and reset my airpods, which did not solve my problem.

Now before I tried contacting apple again, and maybe try and book a repair at an actual apple store, I thought I see if anyone had the same issue and maybe has a solution.

I bought mine in January, so I still have the 1 year apple warranty.

Note: I also noticed how sometimes my devices show different % of charge the earbuds have left. They sometimes seem to not update frequently… not sure if that has to do with the problem, but I’ve seen people have that before.

My lightning EarPods won’t work with my iPhone SE. They work on iPhone 7, 6s and 6 but not the SE. They are compatible with the SE.

Does anyone know anything about this issue? Any help would be great.

My right AirPod doesn’t work again and I can’t see the icon on my widget too, but the left AirPod works perfectly fine. Whenever I put the right AirPod in the charging case the green light starts blinking.

AirPods 3: AirPods 3 Left Earbud No Sound After Drop - Internal Inspection

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 14:54:29 -0700

I dropped my AirPods 3 while they were in the case. Now the left earbud has no sound at all, even though it still shows as charging and connected on my phone. I have already tried resetting them and checking the audio balance settings.

I have physically opened the earbud to inspect it. What should I look for inside that could cause a total loss of sound after a drop? Are there specific ribbon cables or solder joints for the speaker driver that are known to fail? Any advice on how to test the speaker driver or reconnect it would be appreciated.

My right headphone has stopped working. It doesn't play sound but I think it's some kinde of trouble with the cable because when I bend it right over the remote the sound comes back.

Has someone experienced the same problem and have any good advice?

AirPods Pro 3: AirPods Pro 3 automatically answering calls even with Auto-Answer OFF

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 14:54:16 -0700

My AirPods Pro 3 are automatically answering incoming calls after a few seconds of ringing, even when I do not want to answer.

I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps without success:

1. Disabled 'Auto-Answer Calls' in Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Call Audio Routing.

2. Disabled 'Head Gestures' in the AirPods settings.

3. Set 'Announce Calls' to 'Never' in Siri & Search.

4. Turned off 'Automatic Ear Detection'.

5. Performed a full factory reset of the AirPods (holding the setup button until the light flashed amber then white).

6. Ensured my iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS 26.

Despite all these settings being off, the calls still answer themselves while I am wearing the AirPods. Is this a known bug with the Pro 3 firmware or iOS 26, and is there any other way to stop this?
