Hi everyone!

I’m hoping this is a known error with an easy fix. I have an iPhone X and a Series 3 Apple Watch. I also have AirPods, which I have absolutely loved until the last day or so, right when I started using my Watch.

I’m not sure what’s causing it, but the audio on my AirPods will crackle for a few seconds and then go away when I am streaming Spotify or listening to Podcasts. It will come back after 8-10 seconds with some crackling, and then it will eventually (not long after) go through the same terrible process.

I tried resetting my AirPods and updating my Apple Watch but nothing. I’m not sure if it involves my Apple Watch or not, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it does.

Hoping someone can help suggest some ways to troubleshoot this issue! I’ve loved my AirPods until this...the issue making them unusable and a lot less “magic” feeling :(

Thanks in advance!
