Airpods audios never balanced after each use

So basically, my Airpods are decently new and I only got them a few months ago. However, recently there has been an issue that really bothers me.

Every time I start using my airpods again and they're set to a certain balance level since they don't really balance well when it's directly in the centre, it always either sounds too much towards the left or right when the previous time I used said airpod balance level it was perfectly in the middle.

Is anyone else experiencing or has experienced this? If so, is there any chance of fixing it? Right now they're at -0.11 and that's only just centred correctly when it comes to audio. Before I set it to that it was at 0.3.

Hey FL3A0GRAPHY,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

When you first started using your AirPods, having the balance in the middle worked as expected. Now when in the middle, the sounds aren't balanced between the left and the right. Here are some troubleshooting steps that may help.

First, make sure your iPhone is up-to-date. We recommend keeping your iPhone up-to-date so that security updates and fixes are installed. Follow the steps below to confirm the iPhone is up-to-date. The steps can also be seen here: Update your iPhone or iPad.

1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.

2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.

3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.

4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.

6. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.

If updating doesn't make a difference with the AirPods audio concern, reset the AirPods by following the steps in this article: How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro. When resetting the AirPods, the settings for them are also reset, which may help with your concern.

Take care.
