As an AirPods owner, I know how frustrating it is when your AirPods disconnect from your phone. I recently wanted to know just how far away can I be from my phone while still connected to my AirPods. After some research and testing, I’m here to share what I’ve discovered and the solutions I found. In this blog post, I’ll be discussing how far your AirPods can be away from your phone and what you can do to extend the range.
Apple has never released official figures for the range of AirPods. However, you can expect them to have a range of up to 60 feet if there are no objects between you and your AirPods such as walls or doors.
