Knowing All You Should About The Lights
The AirPods possess a single light indicator under the hood. Different combinations of lights alerts you to several issues, but this depends on where your AirPod is at that specific time. It is paramount that you have knowledge of them before initiating a reset.
1. Battery Status
Users will always find it difficult to determine what is left in the battery precisely. But when what you view is a green light while the AirPods are in their case, it signifies that your battery is sufficient for normal use. If you view a green light while your AirPods are not in the case, then the case still has at the very least, one charge left.
When the AirPods are connected to the charger, you viewing the amber light lets you know that your AirPods are charging. But if they are not in the case at the time, the light can also signify that the case has less than one complete recharge remaining.
2. Connection
Is the amber light flashing? This tells you that there is a pairing error with one or more of your devices. It might also reveal that you have to work on the connection and reconnection by resetting the AirPods.
A white flashing flight shows you that the AirPods are set to connect to your Apple devices.
If there is no light in the case at all and your AirPods are in it, this tells you that the case is fully out and requires a recharge.
3. Hard Reset
Resetting your AirPods can be the simple solution for some rampant issues. Issues that concerns the battery or shaky audio delivery can be easily rectified by a hard reset. The shaky audio delivery is when only one of the AirPods is providing sound. Connectivity problems are also a thing of the past with a hard reset.
How Your Airpods Can Undergo A Hard Reset

- Press and hold the button on the back.
- Hold on for the light to blink.
- Let go of the button when the light blinks red.
Pls know that this will disconnect your AirPods from every connected devices. The setup wizard can be utilized to use them again. Hold on till the light flashes white once more. That is the signal that you can try to establish one or more connections once more.
Other Troubleshooting Tips
Depending on the lights is not the only method that can be used to know what is wrong with your AirPods, it is just useful when your mobile device, tab or Mac is not close by. If you open the case near a connected iOS device, you can press the button on the back of the case and open a readout display of the battery status. This informs you about the exact battery remaining.
This can be done when the lights aren’t functioning correctly, if you do not remember what each sequence stand for, or if you heard the power down sound. This sound tells you that you are at the 10% mark or the 1% mark.
Some users think the power down sound is a low battery charge. If your AirPods sound is not loud enough, the one thing you should check is if they are free of dirt or not. Remove all ear wax, dust, and all kinds of debris before retesting.
Or, try the AirPods on various devices before resetting them. One major thing you should also note is that a reset may not rectify your AirPods’ charging problem.
You can attempt to clean them up and ensure the connectors work properly. But most times, not recharging is a hardware problem that cannot be solved easily.
