Hi Prut654,

Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with your AirPods volume. It sounds like it is lower than expected.

There is a way to monitor the volume inside the Health app. Have you checked? See this article: Change the volume on AirPods with iPhone

This article shows where the limiter is: Adjust the volume on iPhone under "Limit the headphone volume".

Let us know if that resolves the issue.

Have a fantastic day!

Prut654,

We're glad to hear that was the solution was. From what you are describing, it is possible the AirPods need service. It sounds like you have mostly followed these steps, but double-check: If your left or right AirPod isn't working.

Hi MichaelB2019,

thanks for the reply. I used them early this morning whilst dog walking and the remedy was spot on.

Sorry to be asking another question my right AirPod cuts out after 15mins but if I put it back into the

case then out again it works for another 15mins, they are fully charged but are the early AirPods and I just

put it down to their age. ( the left one is perfect ) Many Thanks Alan

Hi MichaelB2019,

thanks again for your reply. I double double checked all the advice from the links but the result this morning was just the same.

Luckily I only use one AirPod which I can now hear at once because I like to half hear everything else going on around me.

I think I will have to start saving up for replacement AirPods sometime. Thanks again for your reply’s and help Alan
