Airpod pro sound worse on I phone 11 than M1 macbook pro

My airpod pros sound considerably worse on my iphone 11 compared to my M1 macbook pro,

I stream music using Spotify on both platforms, have set audio quality to very high on both devices.

As far as i am aware both devices use the same bluetooth 5.0 chip so hardware difference should not be the cause.

MacBook Pro Apple Silicon

Hi there Ben_003,


If the audio quality from your AirPods Pro doesn't sound as good as expected on your iPhone, let's be sure you've tried adjusting your audio settings with these steps to see if that helps:


Use Custom Audio Setup
1. Reset any current audio configurations to their default settings:
- Go to Settings > Music > EQ, then tap Off to turn off Music EQ.
- Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual, then adjust the Balance slider. Set the audio volume balance to the center.
2. Connect your headphones. Make sure that you're in a quiet environment.
3. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Headphone Accommodations. Tap Custom Audio Setup.
4. Follow the instructions on your screen. When finished, tap Use Custom Settings to apply the custom settings suggested based on your choices. You can switch back to standard settings at any time.

Take care.
