What are you using the AirPods with?


If a Mac then boot the Mac into Safe Mode from the external SSD according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and then reboot normally.

Note:  if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode.  This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will assure a successful boot into Safe Mode.


Then do the following: How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support 


If you're using the AirPods with an iPhone do the following: Force restart iPhone - Apple Support and then reset your AirPods.
