Clean your AirPods and Charging Case

Your AirPods need to be cleaned periodically because if they get dirty, they are more likely to work poorly or to have a technical problem. Without proximity sensors, we would not be able to easily play/pause audio, play the next or previous track, activate Siri, or perform other tasks. Proximity sensors are built into AirPods and assist them in sensing touch and are utilised for touch navigation.

It is not actually guaranteed that your AirPods will be fixed once you have finished cleaning; they may or may not have been, but it does affect how well they operate, and making it a habit to clean your AirPods will extend their lifespan.
