Airpod Pro (Gen 1) crackling when moving.

It doesn't appear as if the sound from the earpods is the culprit but I hear a crackling noise whenever I move my head (walking/running/working out). Is this due to the tips being older?

Hello DumbestCupid,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!


If you're hearing crackling/static in your AirPods Pro, the steps in this article can help with that: If your AirPods Pro (1st generation) make crackling or static sounds - Apple Support


  1. "Make sure that you have the latest software on your connected iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.
  2. Check that your connected device is nearby, and there's no wireless interference or obstructions between you and your device
  3. Listen to audio from a different app to see if the app causes the issue. 

If you still experience sound quality issues—or if the issues increase in loud environments, with exercise, or while talking on the phone—refer to AirPods Pro Service Program for Sound Issues."


Take care!
