Airpods gen 3 seam not aligned

Hello, just got my airpods gen 3 yesterday and noticed that on my right airpod the seam is not alligned properly and creates this ridge/edge. When I go over it with my nail I can feel the edge. Its like its not alligned properly and kinda glued together "twisted".


Is this normal?

Greetings stryyts,


Congratulations on your new AirPods (3rd generation)! It sounds as though you're noticing the enclosure of the right AirPod has a raised edge or portion that you can feel when running your fingernail over the AirPod. If so, this would be an issue you would want to contact Apple or the point of sale about. It's possible you may want to have the AirPods inspected in person as well. If you'd like to reach out to Apple directly, you can find their contact details via the link below.
