Connection failing AirPods

Why do my airpods keep saying connection failed ?

“connection failing airpods” when connecting AirPods to iPhone. The error appeared suddenly, just in the process of connecting the headphones. First it takes a long time to connect and then the error. I closed the headphones, opened them, activated the connection mode and saw the connection failure again on the iPhone.

The error connection failing airpods appears quite often, and not only on iPhone. The message “Connection failing” when connecting AirPods can be seen on iPad and even on Apple Watch. Also, many people have this error on their copy. I understand, on a copy of iPhone, or other Apple products. I agree that AirPods don’t always work stably with devices from other manufacturers (Android), Windows computers (read the instructions here), etc. But there are other bugs and issues there, as the cause is on the device side, not the headphones. As for pairing AirPods with MacBooks and iMacs, I haven’t seen this error and it happens very rarely
The airpods connection issues looks like this:

A similar issues may also appear if you click on the headphones in the list of Bluetooth devices. But when the headphones are hidden in the case and the case is closed.

You just need to open the case (take out the headphones) and they will connect automatically.
As I wrote at the beginning of the article, I solved the problem very simply and quickly: I turned Bluetooth off and on. Airpods connected without any problems and everything works fine. But it is not a fact, of course, that the same solution will work in your case. Therefore, let’s consider a few more simple solutions. I will show you the example of iPhone, but on the same iPad everything is done in the same way. On Apple Watch you can also perform the same actions.

How to fix connection failed airpods ?

1.Disable and re-enable Bluetooth. You can do this in the settings, or by opening the control point (as in the screenshot below).

After that, activate the connection mode on your AirPods and try to reconnect them. If you see “connection failing” again, then follow these tips.

2. You need to uninstall (forget) AirPods on your iPhone (or other Apple device). Then reconnect the headphones. Go to Settings – Bluetooth. In the list of saved devices, in front of your AirPods, click on the icon (i). Then tap on “Forget this device” and confirm your action by tapping on “Forget device”.

Connect the AirPods earpiece (step 3).

3. You need to activate the connection mode on the headphones. If the indicator light on the case flashes white but you cannot connect AirPods, you can perform a reset. To do this, place both headphones in the case. Next, open the cover (to see the indicator, on AirPods 2 and AirPods Pro it is not necessary to do this, the indicator is outside), press the only button and hold it for about 10-15 seconds.

The indicator light should flash white, then yellow several times, then white again, at which point you can release the button. Hold the headphones next to the iPhone, which should show a connection request. Press “Connect”. If you are not prompted, close and reopen the AirPods case cover.

The AirPods should have connected to your iPhone without any problems. The “Сonnection failed” error never appeared again.
