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!!

AIRPODS
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 hate to say it but like others have said sucking on the larger speaker and then wiping off works.
I have always cleaned mine with a Qtip, but some get pushed into the mesh and this way gets that out.
Haha, this is amazing, worked with wired EarPods as well!
Weirdly, that's the second time sucking has saved my Apple gear. 😁 iPhone stuck in headphones mode was saved by sucking on the headphone port as well! 😁
I had the same issue with the right. Took it to the Apple Store and they replaced it. It happened after I gently tried to remove some wax buildup from the screen (a normal action that an owner of these would have to do). Now I tried to gently clean the left one with a toothpick and microfiber cloth and now the left output isn't as high as the right.
Starting to believe this is a design flaw. No guidance from Apple on how to properly clean the screen without output being lowered after cleaning.
I had the same problem. When I went on google, was reading different situations and senarios. I saw one that said it about the Accessibility settings.
The balance of the headphones were more to the Right side (R). That was the reason for the lower volume on the left side.
In case you're dealing with AirPods pro, please make sure that the AirPods tips are not blocked by anything.
In my case, I've found out that when I took out one of the tips from it's paper case, I tore by mistake a piece of paper that stack inside one of my tips... :-).
I though I'm getting crazy, after hours of hours of trying any suggestion on the web :-)...
Anyway, check the attached photo to understand the problem.
Hi,
I tried the sucking thing on the right airpod(the one that’s quieter) and it didn’t work so I say someone say about settings where u can select how louder the music is in both ears mine was in the middle so that wasn’t the problem but I then moved it more the the right and I think they are both the same now
My left Airpod was about twice as loud as my right one. I took photos with my iPhone of both Airpods and the right one had a slight film, probably ear wax, covering the screen surface. I dipped a toothbrush into rubbing alcohol and rubbed it on the screen surface of the right Airpod. I gently wiped the Airpod dry with a soft cloth. I tried both Airpods again and the sound level was identical for both Airpods.
The first photo below is of the right Airpod before I cleaned it. The second one is after I cleaned it.
You can adjust balance to any AirPod by going to iOS settings, accessibility, AirPods. Then “Audio Accessibility Settings”. At the bottom will be a balance control.
There are additional custom settings you can make, but you must have the second generation AirPods or above. I bought these AirPods last year at Costco in 2020, and they are first generation, manufactured in 2017! The second generation manufactured beginning 2019. So why did Costco sell me first generation AirPods? Something should have been mentioned that you were receiving first generation AirPods, and not second generation, which were available at the time.
I’ll post the sequence of pictures to get to the balance control in iOS 14.7.1, and how to identify what AirPods you
Crazy how I came back here just to say it actually works!!
Even if you feel like your AirPod is squeaky clean like I did, still give it a go!😅
It works!
So glad I found this comment! Very dubious but to my surprise it worked so well
This worked so well that now the one that was working poorly is working better than the other
okay how did this work!!! honestly i didn’t think this would work at first but i did so thank you!
It actually worked! It actually worked bro! I was so worried :'(
Absolute legend!!! Was just about to give up and start crying (my boyfriend brought mine for my birthday) then I stumbled upon your comment.. sure enough it worked straight away.. thank you!! ☺️
If one AirPod is louder than the other
