Since I got my Ultra, I’m unable to listen to more than about 3 seconds of audio when away from the phone. It doesn’t matter if content is streaming or downloaded to watch. It is the same with my gen 2 AirPods and new beats fit pro.

Hi Mike_p1! I had already had everything up to date. I ended up trying a factory reset on my Apple Watch and that did the trick.
