Troubleshooting AirPod Connectivity Issues:
Where to go from here:
A. Troubleshoot the Pairing:
Disable Bluetooth on all but one device — the one device you want to synchronize with these with.
B. Troubleshoot the Connection:
Using this via these Apple Support links, troubleshoot this.
C. Clear Out Earwax:
How to clean your AirPods and EarPods - Apple Support
If nothing above works....
D. Provide Feedback:
Do your Part: It seems this is a bug. So, it is best that you provide feedback on this is Apple. Apple won't get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what is going on, and what needs to be fixed.
This is where I am today as well. AirPods Max are only playing out of the left ear. I’ve reset them at least 8-9 times but to no avail.
I am at a loss as for what to do. I’ve scheduled a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow. 🥺😟
The balance slider is in the middle - this is under Settings > Accessibility > Audio/ Visual menu - General doesn’t have an Accessibility menu.
Just to clarify: this happens when connected to my iPad Pro M1 running 15.0.2 or Watch Series 6 running 8.0.1 and iPhone 13 Pro running 15.0.2 as the audio source. AirPods Max are on firmware 4A400.
After a dozen resets AirPods Max are now randomly activating Siri (on all devices that they are connected to) and playing random songs as well as skipping forward. Nearly 11 months with no issues until today.
So I face the same issue where every time I try to connect to my mac the balance goes to the right and when It connects to iPhone it's fine and every time it connects to mac I have to manually change the settings.

The Word “AirPods”:
In my reply, I’m using the word “AirPods” in a more general sense —not of a particular model. It’s the same ordeal as when you use the word “Mac” to refer to all Macs, in a general sense. Basically, so that it can be a reference to all.
Ta! I’ve got a Genius Bar appointment in a few hours. Also, I have already gone through all the resetting options/ steps last night with an Care representative but alas to no avail.
This issue commenced when connected only with iPhone when I was leaving work. My iPad Pro was at home and switched off. It began with the right ear unresponsive to sound or noise cancellation.

Okay this is just completely broken now, apple are you going to fix this or not
I guess I didn't pay for the 'always stereo' option. Apple - you are starting to be not worth the price.
This works for my airpods pro max. I was having problem with it in my macbook pro 16 inch. Thanks!
This was my issue too! I am CERTAIN I didn't touch the balance at all though. Seems like a bug to me.
Thanks for the links, but the question is in regards to the AirPods Max.

THANK YOU!! ❤️
