Left AirPod is quiet unless tilted to a certain angle.

AirPods connect and work okay, left one is very quiet but comes back to normal volume if you wear it with the bar horizontal and facing forward. You can literally rotate the bar forward, volume comes back to normal, rotate it back (so it lints downwards, as normally worn), goes very quiet. I've seen a few similar posts where the answer is cleaning, but thoroughly cleaned and no change.

Using iPhone 8 and XS.

Left airpod working at certain angle So i got my airpods at the end of April last year. Around September the left one got awfully quiet. I tried everything to fix it but to no avail. When I'm listening to music and i look behind me the left airpod starts to work normally again. This is highly annoying and was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if so how did you fix it?

Right Airpod (2nd gen) quieter than left I have a problem with with right airpod. I think its internal and don't know what to do. This is my second pair of airpods that the right airpod stops working or I am having trouble with. I dropped both once and automatically had problems. My second generation ( current ones) right airpods was dropped ONCE on carpet but bounced onto tile. It still works but is so much quieter.
