Apple has outlined a way to reset its AirPods that you can find in the factory settings. It can be done simply as with any other device. In case of a pair of earbuds, resetting seems unusual. But, today’s; wireless headphones have become more complicated than ever before with the integration of various sophisticated features and pairing requirements. Since AirPods falls very much into this category and so resetting seems possible in them.

AirPods were launched in 2016 with various functionalities and features that include a microphone, automatic setup, good sound quality, Siri integration, music pausing, and function switching. These AirPods were designed to provide convenience to users and the entire Apple ecosystem rather than just giving the users a listening experience.

Apple introduced its second-generation AirPods in 2019 with much improved technical specifications and enhancements.

For these issues, such as refusing to pair or charge or function properly, Apple has provided proper guidelines that you can use to resolve them. Such issues can be solved by resetting the AirPods.
