It seems to be an extremely common issue. Hopefully apple will get that fixed soon, or I'll be returning mine. Other than the ringing/crackling, they have great audio quality. The thread I linked has instruction on how to temporarily fix the issue through accessibility settings. Try that out and see if it helps
The crackling only happens in the left unit. All iOS is 15.1 and I use these mainly for private, hands free telephone communication. I can try music if you think that would make any difference.
Thank you Jared! I have gone through all of the troubleshooting steps. I plan to see about replacing the left AirPod.
No problem. I haven’t tried to return yet, I am hopeful a software update will help, but I’ll definitely return if we get to the 1 year manufacturer warranty and nothing has been fixed. Good luck! :)
