Just got Airpods max. They stopped auto-switching between phone and Macbook Pro after a day. Can't seem to fix it.

Seems like this is a fairly common issue. I've tried resetting them multiple times, nothing seems to work. Super strange they would work perfectly on day one, and then stop. Any suggestions before I send them back?

Turn all three devices off and back on. Disconnect them from whatever device they’re paired to. Connect them to the other device then connect them to the original device. They should work. But you have to have one not active or you have to go into settings to swap it sometimes.

Your AirPods aren't auto-switching correctly? Welcome to AirPods ownership! This feature is notoriously buggy and slow. Try the suggestion above but for some reason a lot of people can just never get it to work. I turned it off and manually switch now which is still pretty faster if you're switching between relatively new Apple devices.

I had the same problem and read the above somewhere. Worked for me with three pairs of AirPods.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I was considering just sending them back to see if I got a faulty pair, but it seems like this is fairly common.

What's super strange is if I simply remove them from my head for a moment then put them back on, they will connect to the MBP, but then phone calls don't come through. Haha Apple needs to fix this crap.

My MAX headphone have not failed to switch multiple times from my phone, laptop and iPad, so far.

Seems like you're in the minority.

It is good to be somewhere. I just got my MAX a few days ago and I can go from listening to music from my iPad to talking on the phone. Hope it does not stop but usually I do not have more than one device going at the same time.

I am impressed with the MAX! Best base I have ever listened to on a headset, wish I would have bought these a year ago. I thought my Sony Noise reduction was the best but the MAX beat the Sony in NR and sound quality.

You likely are in the minority when it comes to seamlessly working all the time.

Personally, I prefer the noise cancellation of the Sony headphones compared to AirPods Max, it’s more apparently to me when I’m flying though.

‘I have not had to fly in a while so I can not compare. I am glad I no longer have to use the airlines from what I have seen. Flying has turned into giant Greyhound busses that leave the ground.

If you have this issue with any of your Beats or Airpods products, try signing out with your Apple ID on the device then sign back in, should fix the issue as the feature relies on iCloud to work. I might also add they may need to be on the same network, I haven't experimented with this as I am almost always on the same network when switching.
