I have had my airpods for around 2 years now, i clean them once a week. All of a sudden my Airpods have started acting up and making my music muffled.


if anyone could help me with fixing the muffled music problem that would be great

Hello Leigh_mac,


If the AirPods are not playing audio correctly, you can try resetting them with these steps:


1. Put your AirPods in their charging case, and close the lid.
2. Wait 30 seconds.
3. Open the lid of your charging case, and put your AirPods in your ears.
4. Go to Settings > Bluetooth. Or go to Settings > [your AirPods].
• If your AirPods appear there as connected, tap the More Info button  next to your AirPods, tap Forget This Device, then tap again to confirm.
• If your AirPods don't appear there, continue to the next step. 
5. Put your AirPods in their charging case, and keep the lid open. 
6. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for about 15 seconds, until the status light on the front of the case flashes amber, then white.*
7. Reconnect your AirPods: With your AirPods in their charging case and the lid open, place your AirPods close to your iPhone or iPad. Follow the steps on your device's screen.

It's also a good idea to test the AirPods with another device to confirm that the problem is with the AirPods and is not coming from the device that is playing the audio.
