Hi Yolken,


We see you have trouble with your AirPods microphone and you already checked out How to clean your AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and EarPods.


To narrow the issue down, use the steps in this link to set your microphone to left and then to right, and test each one to see if you get the same result: Change the settings of your AirPods and AirPods Pro


"Set Microphone to left, right, or automatic

There's a microphone in each AirPod, so you can make phone calls and use Siri. By default, Microphone is set to Automatic, so that either of your AirPods can act as the microphone. If you're using only one AirPod, that AirPod will be the microphone.


You can also set Microphone to Always Left or Always Right. You can also set Microphone to Always Left or Always Right to always have either the right or the left AirPod use the microphone even if you remove it from your ear or put it in the case."


Let us know the results. Have a good day.
