Sometimes my AirPod Pro's microphone sounds robotic. I use my AirPods on my Macbook Pro and I mainly use them on Zoom. When I test the microphone on Zoom it sounds like a robotic voice. I have tried cleaning, restarting, reconnecting, and updating the AirPods/Macbook. They work fine with my phone but as soon as I connect them to my Macbook it sounds like a robot.
Hi DHalvy,
Thanks for giving those steps a try. The issue you're outlining could be trouble with your Mac experiencing wireless interference.
Were you able to test the suggestions in the article, like removing accessories and changing locations?
You could also try to unpair your AirPods and reset the Bluetooth module on your Mac.
Hold Shift-Option and click on the Bluetooth icon in the Menu bar at the top right of your Mac screen. Then choose Debug > Reset the Bluetooth module.
If this issue persists after eliminating interference and resetting, you will want to contact Apple Support for further assistance:
Best of luck.

Hi DHalvy,
It sounds like you're having trouble using your AirPods with your Mac and we can help.
Is this happening in every app or only when using Zoom? If it's happening only in Zoom, it could be a software issue with Zoom or a connection issue with the Zoom servers.
If it happens when recording in multiple apps on your Mac, it could be a result of wireless interference:

I did more testing and I found that it is not just zoom, it is every app. I also found that it’s not just AirPods, it is all Bluetooth devices.
