AirPods Max - Disable Head Detection Permanently (Mac)

[Fried Potato]

Hi,

I don't like that my AirPods Max disconnect when I take them off for a couple of seconds, thus I have disabled the head detection feature in the Bluetooth settings on my Mac. The issue is that it always re-enables after I put them back in their case after I'm done for the day and then reconnect them the day after. So I have to disable head detection every single day.

Is it possible to permanently disable head detection, so it doesn't get enabled the next time I reconnect my AirPods?

Thank you.

Tape over the sensor?

Pardon me, but why would I do that if there’s a software solution? The option to disable it is there, but it resets whenever I restart the computer.

Well if there isn’t a software solution……

Also in my experience AirPods Max reset their setting basically everytime they reconnect to a device. I don’t think there is anything we can do to fix that.
