Problems with microphone quality. AirPods Gen 2

Hello,


Lately, my interlocutors have complained that I can't be heard very well. Bad sound comes when using headphones. I get the impression that they work in headset mode. In this case, the sound quality of my microphone is poor.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3

Hello,

Try this:

Open the Settings app and go to the Bluetooth section. Next to the AirPods entry on the list of devices, you should see an “i” icon inside of a circle. Tap this, then select microphone, and set it to either left, right or automatic. Try switching it back and forth.

Then, test with the Voice Memos app.

Good luck.
