I'm having trouble connecting my new AirPods 2 to my iPhone 12 mini and my MacBook Air 2019 but not to my iPad Pro 11inch 2018.
When attempting to connect to the MacBook it says "Connection Failure"
When trying on the iPhone it will say connected, but then any app that uses audio gets horribly laggy. Also on the airplay button it still defaults to playing through the iPhone's speakers rather than through the AirPods, and when I click on AirPods it shows the loading icon for a few seconds before reverting back to the iPhone's speakers. Sometimes I can get it to actually play audio through the iPhone's speakers but in general when connected to the AirPods any app playing audio gets too laggy to use
The iPad works flawlessly with them.
Finally, I've tried all the basics (turning bluetooth on and off, restarting every device, unpairing and repairing the AirPods, holding down the button on the back of the AirPods until it resets) so I'm wondering have I run into a bug? Also I bought these relatively cheaply off eBay but they came in a sealed box, I confirmed that the serial number is correct through apple's website, and they work flawlessly with the iPad Pro including all of the quick connect functionality you'd assume with the W1 chip (I also have beats studio 3 and Powerbeats pro so I know what to look for with W1 chip functionality in contrast with a non-apple pair of bluetooth headphones).
Any help would be much appreciated, and also I'm new and not sure this is the correct place to post
