AirPods Pro Touch Sensor Dead?

Really for this price? I have used them about 10 times and now the touch sensor doesn't work in the left earbud? Joke!

There is no touch sensor on the AirPods Pro.

There is a force sensor on the stem that has to be squeezed.

Sensor on one AirPod doesn’t work Hi guys, I got a pair of AirPods delivered today and seemed to work fine at first glance. Audio works perfect on both but the left one doesn’t respond to double-tap requests and isn’t recognised whenever I take it out of my ear or put it back in. I have to use the right to do this. I’ve done all the classic troubleshooting options and hard resets, but after trying it on another phone, the left AirPod never responds. I know it’s not a major problem but they are brand-new and kind of pricey so I am a bit peeved tbh. Anyone else have this problem?

My left AirPod just stopped working My left apple airpod just stopped working out of nowhere I tried resetting the airpods and my network connection and nothing helped. Whenever I put it in my ear it doesn't get reacted like it was put in my ear, so could it be a problem with the sensor!? Thanks, Muhammad [Re-Titled by Moderator]

New AirPods Pro Force Sensor I just unboxed my new AirPods Pro today, and while attempting to figure out all the fiddly controls, discovered that the force sensor on the right pod doesn’t work. Can’t get the tick or activate any controls on the right side. Left seems to work OK, but after countless adjustments on finger placement, still can’t get the right side to respond. This seems to be a recurring thing with these based on older posts. What I didn’t find was a solution.
