How to Connect Two Different Airpods Pro to One Case

Connecting two different AirPods Pro to one case can be tricky, as the AirPods Pro case is designed to work with a matched pair of earbuds. The case and the AirPods are synced together at the time of manufacturing, meaning that the case will recognize the original set.

However, if you’ve mixed up your AirPods, you can try a few steps to see if you can get them both to sync up temporarily.

How to Connect Two Different Airpods Pro to One Case

Connecting two different AirPods Pro to one case is quite simple, although it is not an ideal long-term solution. This is how to connect two different Airpods Pro to one case:

Step 1: Place Both AirPods in the Case

First, place both of the different AirPods Pro (i.e., one from each pair) into the same charging case. Even though the case is set to work with the original set of AirPods, sometimes placing mismatched AirPods into the same case can allow them to charge or temporarily connect.

Step 2: Reset the AirPods

A factory reset is your next best bet to connect both different AirPods to the same case. Here’s the process:

Place both AirPods Pro into the charging case.
Keep the lid open and press and hold the setup button on the back of the case.
Hold for around 15 seconds until the light flashes amber, then white.

This reset clears the existing pairing information, which can potentially allow mismatched AirPods to temporarily connect to the case. The flashing white light indicates that the AirPods are ready to reconnect.

Step 3: Reconnect to Your Device

Once the reset is complete, hold the case near your iPhone, iPad, or other Bluetooth-enabled device.

You should see the AirPods Pro setup screen appear on your device, prompting you to reconnect. Tap to pair them, and the AirPods will attempt to sync as a new set. Even though the AirPods are from different pairs, the reset sometimes allows them to work temporarily.

However, keep in mind that the functionality may not be perfect since the AirPods are designed to work with their original case.

Step 4: Monitor Connection Status

Once the AirPods are connected, try using them to ensure both are functioning properly. In some cases, only one AirPod might work, or there could be connectivity issues.

You can check their status by navigating to the Bluetooth settings on your device, where you should be able to see each AirPod’s connection and battery life.

Step 5: Check Battery Life and Functionality

Once connected, monitor how both AirPods perform. Keep track of battery life and ensure the sound quality from each AirPod remains consistent.

A temporary solution like this may work for a short period but isn’t guaranteed to function long-term due to the difference in syncing requirements between the mismatched AirPods.

Conclusion

While it’s technically possible to connect two different AirPods Pro to one case temporarily, it’s not the ideal or intended use. The best solution is to keep a matched pair with its original case, and if needed, replace any lost or damaged AirPod through Apple to ensure everything works smoothly.
