How Do You Factory Reset Apple AirPods or AirPods Pro?

Alright, let’s get straight to it. Reset your AirPods is like giving them a fresh start, wiping out any glitches or pairing issues.

How Do You Factory Reset Apple AirPods or AirPods Pro?

Here’s how you do it:

  1. Pop your AirPods into their charging case. Shut the lid tight. Give it 30 seconds.
  2. Flip that lid open again.
  3. On your phone or tablet, head to Settings. Tap Bluetooth. See your AirPods listed? Hit the little “i” next to them.
  4. Tap Forget This Device. Confirm it.
  5. Look at the back of the case. See that small button? Hold it down for about 15 seconds. Watch the status light—it’ll blink amber first, then white. That’s your signal that they’re reset and ready for a new beginning.
  6. Bring your AirPods close to your device. Follow the on-screen instructions.
