top in-ear headphones available today. With each new iteration, these devices advance, providing one of the most powerful listening experiences for your go-to playlists, albums, and musicians. However, when your AirPods malfunction, it might feel as if Apple has a grudge against you.

Scroll down to Automatic Ear Detection and turn off the setting.
