Don’t worry, I am here to save you time and money by explaining some of the best methods to resolve this issue.
Verifying Genuine Airpods
Sometimes, you buy an Airpod from an unauthorized person and he deceives you with the fake ones. Before buying such an expensive device, you should ask for the serial number of the Airpods and follow these steps.

- Enter the serial number here on checkcoverage.apple.com
- If it shows an Airpod, then it is okay, if not then these are fake.
Reset Your Airpods
This can help fix the glitches and bugs. Press down the digital crown button and the noise control button together until the LED indicator on your Airpods first turns an amber color and then turns white.
Restart you Airpods
Sometimes this might help you resolve the issue. Hold down the digital crown button and the noise control button simultaneously until the LED light turns to amber. This will restart your AirPods.

Update your iPhone/Airpods
An outdated firmware version can often cause this problem.
