If one AirPod is louder than the other

When I listening to my AirPods it sounds like my right AirPod is slightly louder than the left. I even replaced the left one on an Apple Store, but still having the same issue. Unpair/Pair was another try.


Has anyone else experienced anything like this?


Thanks!!

One of the most common reasons why one AirPod may sound louder than the other is the accumulation of dirt, dust, or earwax on the speaker grills. To clean your AirPods, you can use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the surface of each AirPod. You can also use a dry cotton swab to reach the hard-to-reach areas, such as the small cracks and crevices.


For the speaker grills, you can use a soft-bristle brush or a toothbrush to gently brush away any debris that may be stuck on them. Do not use any liquid or sharp objects to clean your AirPods, as this may damage them or cause water damage. After cleaning your AirPods, make sure they are completely dry before placing them in the charging case or using them again. This way, you can ensure that your AirPods sound balanced and clear.


I might say this is the best method to fix this issue, However there are other fixes too, but I can't elaborate each one, its best you search on google and find a relevant guide or you can visit this guide that has provided 8 Solutions on how to fix volume on one AirPod lounder then other

I could only hear the left speaker on my Airpods pro (version 1) whilst running which was annoying. Tried all the usual steps listed in other posts, but this just worked for me: On Apple Watch Ultra 2 (but any Apple watch i guess) go to General / Accessibility / Hearing just below RTT (off), mono audio (off), is a slider - Tap so that left bar is green to middle. Solved!

I didn’t think this was going to work at all honestly and I thought I was going to have to get a replacement AirPod. I was very supprized on how well it worked. What I did is I found an unused toothbrush and used that to clean the grates and used a q tip to clean off whatever came out. Then after a good bit of doing that,( fyi sounds a little but weird but stay with me) suck hard on the grate thing if your airpod then you are finished. Have a good day😁
