Troubleshooting AirPods Charge:

A. A Few Links to Visit:

• Start Here: Charge your AirPods with Charging Case and Learn about Battery Life - Apple Support

• How to Clean your AirPods and EarPods - Apple Support

B. Try the Following Tasks:

• Hold Down the Button on the case for about 15 seconds.

• Use an Apple Brand Cable - not a third party one - cool though it may look, a fabric, third-part cable would likely tear - (Apple cable's are plastic and are intended for Apple)

• Remove the AirPod from the Case, then place it back in the charger. Perhaps it needs to resync with the charger

Troubleshooting AirPods Balance:

A. Start with a Reset:

B. Visit Apple Support links

• If your AirPods Won't Connect – Apple Support
• Connect and Use your AirPods and AirPods Pro – Apple Support

C. Verify an App's Balance:

If using an App, note that apps have their own balance settings as well. That would overrule that set in the Mac. So, make sure that the balance is set in the middle on an app itself..

D. Also, Clear Out Earwax:

E. Using an App?:
