I've had issues with two pairs of airpods pro (I had the first pair replaced). I can be listening to music then audio drops for a quick second and it happens frequently. I've forgotten the device and set them up again as well. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max. I have other Bluetooth audio devices and older airpods but none of them have the issue. Any suggestions? If I am experiencing Bluetooth interference how does one go about solving it?
Got a tip for us?

AirPods Pro audio drop

I only have seen this when I start listening when a known Wifi signal is available and then leave that's signal's range. Like when I use them with my Apple Watch (Series 4 - Cellular) and start listening before I leave my house. When I get outside this will happen several times till I get out of Wifi range. Strange thing is the playlist I am playing from the AW is downloaded to the Watch, not streaming. But it also happened with my AirPods Series 1 so I was not surprised.
I have experienced this too. As an example, if I go for a walk I lose Wi-Fi and audio drops out until cellular kicks in. This has happened with all my iPhones and AirPods 1&2. I believe it’s normal. I have an iPhone 11Pro.

Maybe it’s your audio source not the iPhone or AirPods. If you have had this problem with two sets than I believe it’s unlikely it’s the AirPods.
Never said it was the AirPods - I said it is the iPhone or Apple Watch switching from Wifi to Cellular caused the momentary pause. And as far as the "audio source" it happens regardless if the music was downloaded to the Watch or my iPhone from my Apple Music Library OR it was just streaming from Apple Music.
