AirPods Max louder on one side.

Hey!

I recently got a new pair of the AirPods Max's. Out the box they sounded amazing, however after almost 2 weeks of having them, today the right side sounded louder than the left side. I don't know if this is because my ears are possibly clogged (as I have been prone to having this in the past) or if it is the headphones themselves. If so, I was wondering of possible fixes for the issue. I will keep posted if I manage to figure out the problem.

Thank you!

Wondering which device you use, and which app, when the issue appears.

Could it be the settings on iPhone / iPad / Mac / PC need adjusting


Eg: Adjust the mono audio, balance, and phone noise cancellation settings on iPhone - Apple Support


or

Change Sound settings on Mac – Apple Support
