AirPods Pro 2. Gen imbalance problem

Hey there,

does someone else noticed and imbalance between the left and right AirPod pro 2. Gen?

bought mine today (I’m using airpods Pro for over 2 years now) and noticed that music is slightly louder on the left one. Had to change the balance on my iPhone from 0 to +0,03 sometimes even +0,05.

even connecting to my Apple TV, the menu sound is louder on the left one (when browsing left in the menu) and quieter on the right one, when browsing right in the menu.

firmware is up to date. The latest from today.

iPhone 14 Pro

Just got mine replaced. So far, so good as the issue hasn't happened since. Not to say that it won't, but for now it's good. They swapped both buds, but not the case. Left serial begins GX2J and right begins GN2J (you can tap the case serial number in settings and it will show left, tap again to see right, one last time to return to the case serial).

Yep, it's pretty bad. I'm not going to bother with taking this pair back, only to have the same problems.

I'm sure it will get fixed, but as you say... They're taking they're time.

Are you on the latest firmware? I’m pretty sure the factory firmware doesn’t have this issue and was introduced in the day one update. I doubt it’s hardware related as you’re implying.

You think they will replace mine even if I’m past my 14 days return date?
