Apple Vision Pro is now available in the U.S.

Left AirPod produces clicking/cracking/knocking noise while using/walking

I have AirPods Pro 1st generation (firmware 6A300) bought in 2020.


My left AirPod produces unusual (well, as I read it usual for AirPods) noise when walking.


I have already changed my AirPods 3 times (!) in the Apple Store. Each time, they take them for a sound test and give me a new pair, with the verdict: old AirPods sound is not working as expected.

I am a bit confused. Is it me using them in a strange way, or are these AirPods just so bad that they can't even last 6 months?


Usually, I am carrying my AirPods in the lower side pocket of my cargo shorts, so they could receive some shaking while I am walking and not using them. Could this be a problem?


Now, I have a new pair of AirPods, which works fine so far. I don't know what they will do if I contact support 4th time with the same problem :)


Has anyone experienced a similar problem?
