3 tricks for making your AirPods sound louder
These are my go-to’s when my AirPods aren’t playing my music or podcasts as loud as I want.
Most of the time, your AirPods should work flawlessly, especially with Apple devices, but you may find that there are occasions when things go wrong. One issue that can occur is your AirPods pausing without you intending them to. If you’re suffering with this problem, then here’s how to stop AirPods from random pauses.
1Get closer to your device
Don’t stray too far from your audio source
Your AirPods workover Bluetooth, which is a short-range wireless technology intended for transmitting data over short distances. You may be surprised just how far away from your iPhone or other audio devices you can go when wearing your AirPods, but eventually you’re going to reach the point where the connection becomes too weak to work.
If you find that your AirPods have suddenly paused, make sure that you haven’t wandered too far away from the source of your audio.
2Check the charge for your AirPods
It may be time to top up
Another possible reason that your AirPods are pausing is that they’re running out of juice. When your AirPods have very little battery life left, they may not be able to connect properly. you may easily check the current charge of your AirPods andAirPods charging case, and top them up if needed.
3Turn off Automatic Ear Detection
Your AirPods may think they’re being removed
One of the most common causes of random pauses with AirPods is the Automatic Ear Detection feature. This is meant to automatically pause your music when you removeyour AirPodsby detecting when you’re wearing them. If you remove a single AirPod, the audio will pause, and it will resume again when you replace the AirPod in your ear. If you remove both AirPods, your music will pause, and it won’t automatically resume even if you put both AirPods back in.
AirPods acting up? Here’s how to easily reset them
Apple’s AirPods are iconic, but not immune to bugs and glitches. A quick reset can save you from buying a completely new pair.
If there’s an issue with the Automatic Ear Detection, your music might pause even when the AirPods are still in your ears, as your AirPods think that they’ve been removed. To stop this from happening, you can turn off Automatic Ear Detection in your device’s settings. Doing so will mean that your AirPods will keep playing, even when you remove them. You’ll need to manually pause your music to stop them from playing.
4Change your Double Tap settings
Stop yourself accidentally pausing your AirPods
Apple loves a gooddouble tap gesture, and another common reason for random pauses on your AirPods is that you have them set up to pause on a double tap. If this is the case, you may find that you unintentionally pause your AirPods by accidentally performing the double tap gesture. You can stop this from happening by changing the double tap action to something different.
5Restart your AirPods
If in doubt, restart
If the above methods don’t work, you can try restarting your AirPods. This is always worth trying if yourAirPods aren’t workingas you would expect them to. The method will differ depending on whether you’re using in-ear AirPods or AirPods Max.
6Forget and re-pair your AirPods
