Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have owned my AirPods for a few years and recently noticed the right bud does not work properly, left bud works fine. When attempting to forget the device then reconnect, the name of my AirPods appears as “XES@g”. When researching this name, pornographic materials returned in my search. Is it possible my AirPods have been compromised in some way? How can I fix this?
iPhone 12, iOS 14
It is extremely unlikely the name issue is anything more than your iPhone getting the device name wrong, and the association with a dodgy site is pure coincidence. To resolve this I suggest the clean sweep approach, simply follow the reset procedure in How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support and start with everything cleaned up.

I was able to reset and when I change the name, a “g” is added at the end even though I don’t add it. Do my AirPods have a virus of some sort?
The right bud continues to not work.
I was able to change the name successfully, however, the right bud still does not work.
I’ve tried these steps but still does not work.
