Having an issue with my AirPods. Some reason the left one does not charge properly like somethings holding it up from connecting to case. Not the first time. I had them in my pocket all day yesterday. Go to use them now. Right has full charge. Left was dead.
Not really sure why. I don’t see anything on AirPod to disrupt charging. And in case it had no obstruction.

Any ideas? Only been the left one.

If you haven’t already, go to the section pertaining to the AirPods and the associated charging case via the following link to learn how to properly clean them.

If the problem persists afterwards, consider making a Genius Bar appointment with your nearest Apple Store to have them troubleshoot the problem.

I had this same problem and fixed it using q tip in the case and cleaning the connector thoroughly. Not had a problem since
