iPod touch must be within about 33 feet (10 meters) of the Bluetooth device.
Classify your Bluetooth device
If you listen to headphone audio for long enough at a volume that could affect your hearing, you can get a notification and have the volume automatically turned down to protect your hearing.

If you don’t see the Devices list, make sure Bluetooth is on.
If you have AirPods and you tap Forget This Device, they’re automatically removed from other devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID.

To learn about Bluetooth privacy settings on iPod touch, see the Apple Support article If an app would like to use Bluetooth on your device.
