My airpods have suddenly started disconnecting when playing songs and in calls. it happens about a minute into a song or vid pretty much every single time. However i dont get the issue when just having them in and not playing anything. I have tried resetting cleaning and making sure there is no interference but nothing seems to be working. Has anyone else had this issue? I was thinking the sensors but im not sure as they stay connected in my ear when no sound is playing.

Does disabling the ear detection in the settings fix it?

Might be a stupid suggestion but are they charged enough? Mine always disconnect like that and then allow you to reconnect for a minute or so when low on charge

Ah right, fair enough, sorry. What other connections are switched on on the iPhone? (like wifi or 4G or whatever?)

Ah right, sorry, just a suggestion as my iPad always gives a lot of interference to the AirPods if it's under load and wifi is turned on too

Yeah that sounds quite odd. I've only had them randomly disconnect randomly a couple of times because of accidentally triggering the ear detection but that's about it.

Maybe try repairing them with your device?

Yeah tried it a few times but no difference unfortunately. Im just baffled why they disconnect only when playing music. After they disconnect the left one seems to reconnect back after 10-20 secs. Kinda rendering them unusable at this point.
