EarPods Too Quiet

The last 2 pairs of EarPods always died quickly. The left side on my current pair is muffled after only 6 months. The right side is erratic up and down. Volume had never been as good as new.

I clean them carefully with toothbrush and toothpick all the time. I even Swab my ears daily. Still, they turn to crap after 6 months. Is it just a me or doe Apple products seem to be getting worse? Very expensive for such low quality. What gives?

AirPods Pro 1st generation weird high pitch noise. I bought these AirPods back in 2022 and the left ear bud is experiencing a weird pitch sound and when I play music it sounds static/muffled. Is there a fix for this or should I bring them in for repair?

Problem with earpods provided with iPhone XS Max Hello. A few days ago, the sound on the right earpod started getting muffled. The sound on the left side is louder than on the right side. A few hours later, the right side stopped working completely. The earpods weren't dropped, nothing spilled on them, they just stopped working suddenly. I tried cleaning them with a microfiber cloth. The problem wasn't solved. There is no dust/lint on the earpods. There are no exposed wires. Mono audio is not on. Yesterday, the sound returned, but it was still muffled then a few minutes later, the sound disappeared again.
