How To Know If Your Airpods Are Dead

Share This:

Are your AirPods dead? It can be a real bummer when your AirPods aren’t working properly. As Apple’s wireless headphones, AirPods are designed to be easy to use, but sometimes things don’t go as planned. Don’t worry though, there are a few ways to tell if your AirPods have died and what you can do to fix the problem.

First, let’s start with how to know if your AirPods are dead or just not working properly. The easiest way is to listen for sound coming out of them. If you hear no sound at all, they may be dead. Additionally, you can check the battery status of your AirPods by looking at the charging case or by checking the battery status on your iPhone or iPad. If the battery level is low or empty, it may indicate that your AirPods are dead.

So what can you do if your AirPods are dead? First, make sure that both the AirPods and their charging case are charged for at least 15 minutes using the cable that came with them (or 30 seconds with an iPhone/iPad). If this doesn’t work, try resetting the connection between your device and the AirPods by turning off Bluetooth on both devices and then turning it back on again after a few minutes. If neither of these options works, try plugging in the charging cable directly into a power source and letting it charge overnight before attempting to reconnect them again in the morning.

If all else fails, contact Apple Support for assistance as they may be able to help troubleshoot further or even repair/replace any faulty hardware components.

We hope these tips have been helpful in determining if and how you can bring life back into your beloved AirPods!

What to Do When AirPods Are Completely Dead?

When AirPods are completely dead, they will no longer be able to power on or connect to a device. The LED light on the charging case will not illuminate when the lid is opened and there will be no sound when you press the pairing button. You will need to charge them for at least 15 minutes (AirPods and AirPods Pro) or 5 minutes (AirPods Max) before they can reconnect and function normally.

What Happens When AirPods Are Dead?

When your AirPods are dead, they won’t make any sound or respond to taps or commands. The charging case will also not charge them. To revive them, you’ll need to connect the charging case to a power source and wait until the LED light on the outside of the case turns white. Once that happens, you can put your AirPods back in the case and they should start charging again.

Appearance of Dead AirPods

Dead AirPods will look like they are switched off and unresponsive. They may not connect to your device, or you may hear no sound when you play music. The case that holds the AirPods will have a single alert light under the lid, which will be off if the AirPods are dead and need to be charged.
