Why is the volume on my AirPods so low?

I have AirPod v2s they are only a couple months old and the left one plays sound on full volume but it’s very very quiet. These are expensive not trying to buy new one

See: If your left or right AirPod isn't working - Apple Support ... check nothing is blocking the output

Also:

Wondering what device, device model, and OS version you use the AirPods with ...

ie: Check you set the audio to be directed to the AirPods


Eg on a Mac. using a recent OS version you may want to experiment with the balance-slider

choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Sound  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)

Select the Output option: Balance

Adjust the output volume balance between the left and right channels.
