Airpods first gen problems

I have a Iphone 12 and first gen airpods, the airpods worked well with my previous phone, Iphone 8, but ever since i got the new phone the volume is way too low. You can barely hear it at 50% and at full volume u could say it really is at 50% volume. I’ve tried to restart them and forget the device and connect again but nothing seems to work. Shameful by apple to be honest, not cheap equipment😆

iPhone 12

Troubleshooting AirPods Audio:

A. Verify the Balance:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: General
  3. Tap: Accessibility
  4. Scroll Down: to Hearing
  5. Adjust: the audio volume balance


B. Use the App, Itself:

Depending on the application, it may have the ability for balance settings. So, overview the application.


C. Wiggle it Around:

What happens when you giggle it around al little bit. Does that fix it?


D. Clean Debris:

Clear Out Earwax: How to Clean your AirPods and EarPods - Apple Support. Use a microfiber cloth for this.
