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

Hi weston187,
welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community!
Re: "Why is the volume on my AirPods so low?
the left one plays sound on full volume but it’s very very quiet."
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.
