Hi all. I've noticed a persistent bug/problem with my Airpods Pros. IF they've been in the case and I do not put my LEFT one in first the left one will refuse to connect. If I even remove the right one from the charging case the left one won't connect until I've put both back in the case and closed the lid for 5-10 seconds. The easy fix to this is to just remove the left one first but this seems like a software bug. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I haven’t experienced this. Mine work which ever one I install first. I would exchange yours if you still within the 14 day return period. You could try forgetting them in settings and repairing them if you haven’t already. Also, you can reboot your devise.

I’ve experienced that but with my right one. It’s missing about 2 times out of 5 when I first get them out of the case. Although, if I adjust my volume it seems to kickstart the missing AirPod.

Have the exact same issue with my airpods 2. They are just buggy as hell - the most unreliable apple product i have tried.
