To reconnect your AirPods Pro, the process generally involves resetting the connection and pairing them again with your desired device.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Place AirPods Pro in the Charging Case: Ensure both AirPods Pro earbuds are securely inside their charging case.
-
Close the Lid: Close the charging case lid and wait for 15 seconds. This action effectively disconnects them.
-
Open the Lid: Open the charging case lid again.
-
Press and Hold the Setup Button: Locate the setup button on the back of the charging case. Press and hold this button for approximately 10 seconds.
-
Observe the Status Light: Keep holding the setup button until the status light on the front of the case begins to flash white. This indicates that your AirPods Pro are now in pairing mode and ready to connect.
-
Connect to Your Device: With the AirPods Pro still in their case and the lid open, hold the case near the device you want to connect them to (e.g., iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android device).
-
For Apple Devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac): A setup animation should appear on your screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing process.
-
For Android Devices or Other Devices: Navigate to the Bluetooth settings on your device. Search for available Bluetooth devices, and select your AirPods Pro from the list. Follow any prompts to pair.

Troubleshooting Tips:
- Ensure Bluetooth is Enabled: Make sure Bluetooth is turned on for the device you're trying to connect to.
- Check Battery Life: Verify that both your AirPods Pro and the charging case have sufficient battery charge. Low battery can sometimes interfere with the connection process.
- Forget the Device (If Previously Connected): On your device's Bluetooth settings, "forget" or "remove" your AirPods Pro from the list of connected devices. This forces a fresh pairing process.
- Restart Your Device: Sometimes, restarting your iPhone, Android phone, or computer can resolve Bluetooth connectivity issues.
- Factory Reset (If Issues Persist): If you're still encountering problems, you can perform a factory reset of your AirPods Pro by holding the setup button for longer (approximately 15 seconds) until the status light flashes amber, then white. This will reset them to their original settings.
