Airpods noise transparency sounds weird

I was cooking a steak yesterday and wanted to skip the song, and I got some of the oil into my microphone. How can I fix this? Do I drop my airpods in isopropyl alcohol for a couple of hours? These are 3rd Generation Pros.

Hey tenki100,


That's a great question! The following guide has steps on the best way to clean your AirPods: How to clean your AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and EarPods - Apple Support


If you're not able to get all of the oil out using those steps, you'll want to have your AirPods in for service. To check your service options, start here (you may need to change to your region): AirPods Repair & Service - Apple Support


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


Take care!
