Wondering how to reset Airpods Max? You will get a solution in this article. Read every step carefully.

Apple AirPods may be the best headphones to use with an iPhone, and one reason for this could be that the same company makes both sets of headphones, which makes the pairing process nearly foolproof. On the other hand, connection errors can occur at any time and stop the correct linking, making it impossible for us to play the music correctly. You will always have the option to reset your AirPods if you are in a situation like this.

When experiencing connectivity issues between your AirPods and iPhone, the initial troubleshooting step is to place the earbuds back into their charging case. However, that doesn’t always resolve the issue, so the next step would be to restart the AirPods.
