AirPods Pro 1st gen audio drift issues

After the recent firmware update 5B58 my AirPods Pro 1st gen started to have weird audio drift issues whenever I pause playback or take one of the AirPods out. The issues doesn't fix itself, but whenever i take both of the AirPods out of my ears just to stick them back in again, the audio drift thing seems to be resolved. As mentioned, I first started to encounter this bug after the most recent firmware update, about a day or two ago. I have reset the AirPods and reconnected them with my Apple ID which did not fix the issue. I am also a little confused as this behaviour has already been reported on the AirPods Pro 2nd gen, but should have been fixed with the most recent update.

Edit: I only experience the issue when connected to iOS devices (iPhone 14 Pro on iOS 16.1.1 and iPad Air 4th gen on iPadOS 16.1.1). No issues on my MacBook Pro running MacOS 13.0.1.

So i know its a software/firmware issue because i got a replacment and the firmware didnt update to latest and there was no issues but as soon as it updated i got the drifting issues again. With me when i pause a song and play it again it drifts to the right side and i cant manually shift it back because it doesent sound balanced so i would have tot urn off Bluetuth and turn it back on and that would fix it until i have to pause it again. and repeat.
