One of the simplest causes for this is if you leave your phone in one room and walk away while you\u2019re still listening. Once you get around 30 feet away from your AirPods, you\u2019ll encounter this issue.<\/p>\n<p>This type of audio stuttering can also h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en thanks to a bad Bluetooth connection. If moving closer to your phone doesn\u2019t help, you can try unpairing your AirPods and pairing them again. For instructions on pairing your AirPods, take a look at our complete guide to AirPods and AirPods Pro.<\/p>\n<p>If your battery is starting to get low, this can occasionally cause your AirPods to lose your connection. This doesn\u2019t happen all that often, but if you\u2019re encountering pausing or stuttering and your AirPods are almost out of battery, this is one possible cause worth considering.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it\u2019s possible that the AirPods Pro tap or double-tap actions could be causing your AirPods to pause playback. If you find your AirPods are pausing mainly when you put your hands near them, this is worth checking.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Your_Double-Tap_Actions\"><\/span>Check Your Double-Tap Actions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This issue is less common if you use AirPods Pro, as the gestures they require aren\u2019t as easy to accidentally activate. If you\u2019re using the standard AirPods, your double-tap settings could be pausing playback.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming you\u2019re wearing your AirPods, keep them on. If they\u2019re tucked inside their case, open the case. Now on your iPhone or iPad (you cannot do this on an Android device), open the Settings app and open the Bluetooth section. On the menu option for your AirPods, tap the \u201cMore info\u201d button (represented by the lowercase letter \u201ci\u201d inside a circle).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-798056\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/airpods-keep-pausing-bluetooth-menu.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Connected Bluetooth devices on iPhone\" width=\"650\" height=\"255\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>On the next screen, choose whether you want to change settings for your left or right AirPod.

This is what pauses playback when you remove the AirPods from your ears and resumes playback when you put them back on.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Automatic Ear Detection doesn\u2019t always work perfectly. If you\u2019re having issues with your AirPods pausing and the above fixes haven\u2019t worked, chances are good that Automatic Ear Detection is the culprit.<\/p>\n<p>To disable Automatic Ear Detection, open the Settings app and navigate to the Bluetooth section. Find your AirPods in the list of devices, then tap the \u201cMore info\u201d button on the right side of the screen. This opens the settings for your AirPods.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-798056\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/airpods-keep-pausing-bluetooth-menu.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Connected Bluetooth devices on iPhone\" width=\"650\" height=\"255\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Here, look for Automatic Ear Detection near the bottom of the screen.

If turning off Automatic Ear Detection resolves your problem, it\u2019s probably the culprit. Of course, leaving Automatic Ear Detection off isn\u2019t convenient.<\/p>\n<p>Without Automatic Ear Detection, you\u2019ll need to remember to pause playback before removing your AirPods, as otherwise they\u2019ll keep playing and drain your battery. This isn\u2019t ideal, but it may be better than dealing with your AirPods pausing all the time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Replace Your AirPods Battery<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
