AirPods Keep Cutting Out? Reasons Behind It

Many AirPods users have reported the cutting out issue from the device for no reason however Apple had acknowledge the issue and released a patch note regarding it as well as a long forum on the ways to fix the issue which you can check here.

Signal Interference – Your AirPods are susceptible to interference from nearby Bluetooth devices. Close proximity to radio waves like wifi and many more.

Hardware issues – If your AirPods were damaged by water, or you accidentally dropped it from a height it might have damaged the internals of the AirPods which is causing the signal issue.

Sensor Issues – Sometimes too much advancement in simple tech products can be disastrous same is in the case of the AirPods from the day when they were coming with proximity sensors for Ear Detection and this may also cause cutouts if your device is damaged because the detection isn’t accurate, while you’re wearing it.

Firmware Issue – We have talked about this in most of our posts related to AirPods because most of the issues are caused due to incompatible firmware versions either it is AirPods or iPhones.

So, as a rule of thumb keep your AirPods and iPhone updated as new updates fix old bugs and give you a seamless experience.
