Airpods 2nd Gen - Only one bud connects initially

[turbineseaplane]

Does this happen to anyone else on their Airpods 1 or 2 ?

I use a set of 2nd gen Airpods (with some silicone wing tips) for my exercise/gym listening (I like to hear the environment around me)...but I get super frustrated with them because about 1/2 the time when I pull them out and pop them in, only one earbud has connected.

It is fixed by putting them back in the case and trying again -- but even that sometimes takes a couple tries to get it to take.

God it's annoying.

Am I the only one who ever experiences this?
Maybe I have duds?

had this since day 1 on my airpods pro 1st gen, occasionally noted on my original airpods too. it's usually the right one that doesn't connect on mine

Try resetting your AirPods by holding the button on the back of the case until the LED light flashes. Reconnect them to your device and see if the issue persists.

Will try that and report back -- should know soon as I use them daily
Thx for idea
