Isn’t it annoying when one of your AirPods dies and you can’t use them together anymore? Well, don’t worry. In this article, we’ll show you how to fix the issue when the left AirPod Pro is not working.
The problems with your One (left/right) AirPods can range from the relatively simple (batteries drain out or dirty) all the way up to more intricate issues that need network assistance. Unfortunately, there’s no single cause for this issue and therefore no easy fix!
The common fixes that can work for your both left and right AirPods pro (when the one side isn’t working) is that clean specks of dirt or hard reset your AirPods. Besides hardware issues, you can also focus on internal software cases like outdated firmware or complex network settings. So, resetting the left/right AirPods can fix all sorts of temporary problems.
Also, Whether you’re having trouble with your AirPods 1 or 2, Pro models, you can rely on this guide to solve your problem.
There are a few things you can try when only the one AirPod Pro is not working. From the easiest method on our list, which only requires a little patience and attention from yourself in order for it to work properly with both devices connected via Bluetooth—to more complex methods that will have consequences if done incorrectly but may be worth considering if other options fail or cannot provide an answer quickly enough we’ve got you cover by everything here!
The first thing I recommend doing when experiencing problems like these is ensuring that there isn’t anything blocking either to receiving the audio from your devices.
Check Battery Level
The first thing you should do is check the battery level of both AirPods. If one AirPod has a low battery, it may not work properly. If one runs out before you’re done using them, charge up so they will be ready when needed! If you don’t know how to check the Airpods pro battery status, look at the followings:
Clean the AirPods
If that’s not the problem, try cleaning the AirPods with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Now you might be wondering how this can help to fix your AirPods pro? Sometimes due to lint or dust, or even earwax can cause block sound from getting out. That’s it’s necessary to clean your AirPods pro.
Turn Bluetooth On and Off
Sometimes the pairing between your devices and AirPods pro could get broke suddenly out of nowhere. Here is the only solution regarding this issue is resetting the Bluetooth function.
Restart Your Device
It’s likely a very common practice for everyone but really effective specially against these types of issues where the exact reason is unknown. So, give it a little try since it does help to clear active memory and solve temporary problem.
Unpair and Re-pair Your AirPods
This method contains 70% chances to solve your one airpods pro not working issue. You just need to remove your airpods from pairing mode and reconnect it again.
Hard Reset Airpods
If they’re still not working, as we mentioned above you can try resetting your AirPods. Here’s how to reset your AirPods:
Reset Network Settings
This can be one of the major internal culprit which is preventing your one airpods pro not connecting to your devices. It’s very hard to tell where the settings have changed previously but you can reset it. In order to do that go to Setting and click General > Reset and tap Reset Network Setting.
Check Stereo Balance
In your iphone’s accessesibility setting there’s a option called “Balance your stereo” where you might have done changes accidently that now causes imbalance between 2 airpods resulting in the devices sending all sound to only one AirPod. To fix this issue:
Update Operating System
If you’re using an outdated version of iOS, there’s a chance that it’s the reason your AirPods aren’t working properly. So make sure to update your iPhone or iPad to the latest software update available.
You can do this by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
Contact Apple Support
If you’ve tried all of the tips above and your AirPods still aren’t working, it might be time to contact Apple Support. You can set up a repair or replacement by going to the Apple Support website.
