It's a terrible thought when suddenly only one pair of headphones works. If it also means to you: Only one AirPod connects, then in principle it doesn't have to mean anything bad. That's why you should keep calm. We have put together a guide that you should follow if your left or right Airpod is not connecting.
If you can't get the individual headphones to work again with our tips, then that's no reason to order a new set immediately. We offer you the opportunity to reorder AirPods. You can also find out how this works and what advantages it gives you in this article. But first you should check whether you really need a replacement part or whether there is a simple problem that you can handle yourself.
What are reasons for an Airpod not connecting?
If AirPods do not connect, there can be several reasons. It doesn't always mean a defect and forces you to reorder AirPods.
Here are the two most common reasons why a right or left AirPods won't connect. Of course, we'll tell you straight away how you can test it.
The battery is empty
Even though
Fortunately, you can easily check this. Place both headphones in the charging case, which you should fully charge beforehand. Wait a few minutes to allow both batteries to charge. When you open the charging case again, the battery level will be displayed. Try to see if both AirPods are working again.
The Bluetooth connection is disturbed
The reason why the AirPods do not connect could also be a faulty Bluetooth connection. To rule out this error, you simply have to pair your headphones with the playback device again. To do this, follow the following steps:
- Take both AirPods out of the charging case.
- Hold down the setup button for a moment.
- Hold it close to the device you want to connect it to and open the charging case lid.
- Once the connection has been made, you can try whether only one AirPod is now connecting and you can listen to music on both headphones as usual.
Still no improvement? Then you can reorder individual AirPods

Of course, there are other reasons why you should look for a spare part. If only one AirPod connects, this is a common reason for this. But even if the following happens, we can supply you with the right spare part.
Noise cancellation doesn't work
You probably made a conscious decision to get high-quality headphones and that's why you bought AirPods.One advantage of these devices is noise cancellation. The annoying background noises of your surroundings are specifically suppressed and you can enjoy the maximum sound experience.
If this function is no longer available to you, your sound experience will be significantly limited. If this only happens on one pair of headphones, you will find it very annoying. You should then look for a replacement for the defective headphones.
Crackling and cracking noises in the Airpod
Even the best technology can develop problems over time. Some users have described crackling and crackling noises during use. If you notice this with your AirPods and the warranty has already expired, you will have to replace the defective headphones.
A repair does not make economic sense and is not offered by the manufacturer. Unfortunately, in this case, disposal cannot be avoided if you want to experience high-quality sound.
