While watching videos on my MacBook Air M2 with my AirPods connected, the audio suddenly drops. Has anyone else experienced this kind of audio cut-off? Could this be a bug with iOS 26.0.1 or AirPods compatibility?
MacBook Air, macOS 26.0
I would first check to see if the firmware on your Airpods needs upgrading for macOS 26.X. See:
About firmware updates for AirPods - Apple Support
Battery drain: Is it the AirPods' batteries or the Macbook Air's?
If the Macbook Air, it is possible to see a faster rate of discharge for a day of so after a major OS upgrade. So we can use our new OS version the update system continues to do some indexing and cleaning up after we update.
