Airpods pro crackling noise.. only when I speak

The last few days I realize that my left ear piece making a very disturbing crackling noise. Here is the bummer. The airpods have that issue only when I am talking, either on a phone call or to a person next to me. The crackling noise also appear only when my voice sound heavy (low frequencies).

When I listen music there is no problem at all unless I have to speak to someone next to me.

I am defiantly taking them back to replace them, but is good to let Apple know that there is an issue with my Airpods Pro and maybe some other customers.

Any ideas or solutions are welcome.

Thanks for the reply.

That insistent happens on various deferent locations. So the magnetic field disturbance is out of the question. I tried and reset the AirPods many times and that didn’t solve the problem either. No sweat or water was involved either.

my personal opinion is that the microphone for the noise cancellation was defective.

My problem solved by replacing it at the Apple store and now they are both working fine.

Apple care worth every penny.

Marry Christmas to everyone.

Hello akrita71,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding that you're experiencing cracking from your left AirPod when speaking. I can definitely see how this could be concerning. I've got some steps you can try before visiting a store.


First, check for any nearby interference that could be causing the issue.
