Hello there MarcusK1807,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


I understand that you are experiencing an issue with audio delaying when you use the microphone on your AirPods. I am more than happy to help you out with this.


To troubleshoot this, attempt to unpair and repair the AirPods to your device. For steps on how to do this, check out this article:

After resetting your AirPods, I would recommend restarting your device as well by turning it off and on. For steps on how to do this, check out this article:

I hope this helps! Have a great day!
