AirPods Max sound is choppy
12 Dec 2022
Since last week, bluetooth connection has become unstable, with choppy sound at best.
Uusually restarting as described above works - at least for a while.
Tried now to forget the device, and re-pair it, as follows:
- Go to Settings > AirPods. Then tap Forget This Device.
- Connected the Airpods Max to power for 30s and resetted it (15s on both buttons til while light, ie 3s more as a restart)
- Placing the Airpods Max near my iPhone and pairing it anew.
Let's see....

Got them to Apple Repair, who ended up replacing them. Same issue.
It seems that my bluetooth keyboard Kinesis Advantage keyboard might be interfering with the Airpods Max.
