Apple AirPods unbalanced? Left side quieter suddenly?


I am using the original Apple AirPods fine with my iPhone 11.

All working well, however they have sudddenly out of balance?


The left is much quieter so in the iPhone I have to go in and rebalnce the left right to over to the left side?


Any ideas why this is happening?


Is there a quick way to reset these which may solve the problem? or is it down to something else or a setting?

Other headphones seem fine, but the Apple wireless Airpods seem out of balance?


Thanks


iPhone 11, iOS 17

Troubleshooting AirPods Balance:

C. Verify an App's Balance:

If using an App, note that apps have their own balance settings as well. That would overrule that set in the Mac. So, make sure that the balance is set in the middle on an app itself..

E. Using an App?:

Check and make sure that the balance on the app is not towards the right.
