AirPods sound drops out after iOS 11.3 update

After updating my iPhone 6s Plus to iOS 11.3 yesterday, I am experiencing the following.

While listening to music using the Apple Music app, the sound will suddenly stop. My iPhone shows that the AirPods are still connected and music playback on my iPhone continues to progress. Pulling the AirPods out of my ears, putting them back in and tapping play in Apple Music resumes normal playback.

Anyone else experiencing this after updating to iOS 11.3?

I have experienced that with past iOS versions. With 11.3 for me, it seems connectivity between my iPhone and Airpods have greatly improved.

Hi! Did you try resetting and reconnecting AirPods to the phone?

I don’t have this issue with iPhone 7 and AirPods. You should try re pairing them.

No issues with my iPhone 8 and 11.3. If anything I seem to be more consistently able to get the cool battery status animation to pop up when opening the AirPods case, which seemed hit or miss prior.
