III. Comparison of Different Resetting Methods
Resetting your AirPods Pro can also be done using your iPhone settings, Siri commands, or physical button sequences. Let’s take a look at each method’s pros and cons:
Using iPhone settings
If you have your AirPods Pro connected to your iPhone, you can reset them using the Bluetooth settings.
- Go to Settings > Bluetooth
- Find your AirPods Pro in the list and tap on the “i” icon next to it.
- Tap on “Forget This Device” and confirm.
Pros: This method is simple and can be done quickly from your iPhone settings.
Cons: This method isn’t available if your AirPods Pro aren’t connected to your iPhone.
Using Siri commands
Siri can help you reset your AirPods Pro with a few voice commands.
- Place your AirPods Pro in their case and open the lid.
- Say “Hey Siri, reset my AirPods.”
- Confirm the reset process by following Siri’s instructions.
Pros: This method is hands-free and may be faster than physically resetting your AirPods Pro.
Cons: You need to have Siri enabled for this method to work.
Using physical button sequences
This method involves pressing and holding specific physical buttons on your AirPods Pro and case.
- Put your AirPods Pro in their case and leave the lid open.
- Press and hold the button on the back of the case until the light starts flashing amber.
- Release the button and wait for it to flash white.
- Press and hold the button on the back of the case again until the light flashes amber and white.
- Release the button and start the reset process.
Pros: This method works even when your AirPods Pro aren’t connected to your iPhone.
Cons: This method is more complicated and can be confusing if not done correctly.
Our recommendation is to use the first method (using iPhone settings) if your AirPods Pro are connected to your iPhone and the last method (using physical button sequences) if they aren’t.
