AirPods: How to unpair the headphones

Unpairing your AirPods is not a difficult task. Already in a few minutes, the earbuds are free again and can be reconnected.

1. First, put the AirPods in your case and wait a few minutes, so that the two earbuds fill up the battery a little.
2. Now hold the back of the Case facing you and press the Setup button for about 15 seconds.
3. You can release the button once the Case's status indicator flashes alternately yellow and white.
4. Now the AirPods can be removed from the Case again and connected to another device.

1. If you want to use your headphones on another device, the old device must of course first be removed.
2. If only one earbud should play sound, a new pairing can fix the problem.
3. Auch Fehler mit zugehörigen Apps oder der Wiedergabe von Musik können durch eine Neukopplung behoben werden.
4. Auch für den Verkauf der AirPods müssen diese zuvor von Ihrem Gerät entkoppelt werden, da der Käufer sonst keine neue Verbindung einrichten kann.
