bad microphone quality with airpods pro 2 on iPhone 15 pro

I have a new iPhone 15 Pro which I use with my AirPods Pro 2. many times in conversations with other people, they complain to not hear me well. They hear the background noise more than my own voice. Others complain of a „digital“ sound from the background. Sometimes, it works ok. Most times I receive complaints.


Hearing on my side never is a problem. So it is not the connection between the headsets and the phone. It happens more often with apps like WhatsApp calls or WebEx conf calls.


i tried to change the AirPods Pro settings with no success.


Your help is appreciated!



iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

I don’t have a full fix for you, but I would first check to see something in the apps you’re having the issue in frequently. Try entering a call in the app, and open control center by swiping down from the upper right edge of your screen. On the top right of the menu, you’ll see a button that says “Mic Mode”. Tap that to choose which mode you’re using. It should normally be sure to: Standard. Technically AirPods Pro won’t allow you to use the “Wide Spectrum” Mic Mode, but that does seem like it’d be the cause of an issue like that. Just something to check out. Alternatively, I would test in the apps you’re having the problem in, with certain settings for your AirPods on or off, just to try and see what the issue might be caused by. Changing between Transparency, Adaptive, or Noise Cancellation modes, turning on or off Conversation Boost, Conversation Awareness, or different Spatial Audio settings. That’s all I got. Hope this helps!
