My AirPods Pro have a crackling sound when I clear my throat or even chew gum. This is really annoying. Almost $300 for these pair of ear buds, and I was expecting more quality. I bought apple care for these things, but the stores are closed. Does any one know if there is a solution to this problem?

My left one does the exact same thing but only if I have the noise cancel/transparency turned on. If you switch to "off" see if it stops. I notice mine clicks if I move it in my ear but only if either are turned on. Haven't contacted apple yet myself.

Hello,
Hmm, it could be due to wireless interference:

Good luck.
You can get them replaced, but it will probably come back. I've replaced mine multiple times. It's an issue and I've been told I should use them in "off" mode until engineering comes up with a fix. I can unbind them from all devices and even turn off bluetooth on those devices and they still crackle in noise cancelling and transparent modes. They will crackle if I speak, walk around, touch them etc.. It does not happen in off mode. I hope its fixable with a software update but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Hey there. Thanks for the tip. I just tried it in off mode and it does not crackle. And music sound good. Well, at least Kelly Clarkson does 👍🏼😀
Like you said, it would probably get fixed with a firmware update. I will also return them as I have Applecare for them, and when trying to fix with someone from Apple on the phone, one of the tips got torn.
Thanks again and have a great day.
Álvaro.
I like how the other post is listed as the answer....lol Wireless interference... yeah ok. Seems like a totally legit system here.
