Earpods/Wired Earphone muffle sounds on Voice Memo

Hello, I bought an earpods from a mall, I tested it at home and realize the sounds in the voice memo is very muffled. I thought the product is defective but when I tried it on another app tiktok + messenger voice recorder it’s sounds clear 😔

Muffled sound of airpods pro 2nd gen. Hi there. Been using my airpods pro 2 since Oct 2022. When making a call, the other parties can’t really hear sound of mine (muffled). I’ve tested on recording the voice memos with surrounding music. And true, its sound terrible. Hope Apple can fix the problem via update as soon as possible.

Cracking sound during calls on AirPods 4 with ANC I’m using AirPods 4 with ANC, and during voice or video calls, the other person hears a cracking sound from my side. I also tested it using a voice recorder, and the same issue occurs. I even got both earbuds replaced at the Apple Service Center, but the problem still persists.

Need help! Audio quality from speech in movies/series is terrible after upgrading Airpods! I need help. Went from Airpods 2 to Airpods 2 pro and the Audio quality during music is slightly better so i'm satisfied with that. But i'm very sad with how the movies/series sound especially when someone speaks. I'm terrible at describing sounds so hopefully i get the words correctly. The regular Airpods 2 had very good bassey and full/intimate audio quality when people/characters spoke but the Airpods 2 pro doesn't have the same feeling. Instead of characters sounding like they are standing closely/intimate to you and you can hear EVERY detail in their voice now it sounds like you are standing at the opposite side of a somewhat empty room and almost eavesdropping on the conversation. (Not refering to the audio being to low). Another semi-similar comparison would be that the Airpods 2 sounded like the spoken audio was recorded in a Professional sound studio while the Airpods 2 pro speech sounds like it was recorded in a newly started sound studio that uses some gaming headset to record voices instead of a quality microphone. Maybe a good description of the sound would be airy/empty and lacking the gruntiness/raspy sound from the throat of characters when they are speaking. I've also tried the Airpods 4 and it has the exact same issue. I've sat with the Health apps manual input Hearing test and tried different values for the Frequencies for hours but can't make it sound as good as the Airpods 2. Please can anyone help with this issue! What frequency values should i set to make it sound as good as the Airpods 2?
