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
As distasteful as it sounds, the “sucking” tip actually fixed my issue. Suck vigorously on the ear pod that you think is quieter than the other. Then go on YouTube and find a stereo channel test video. Assuming you don’t have hearing damage, this should work.
I had this problem before so I keep getting this email. I discovered one thing that makes the process better. First of all we have to have several swabs and a little alchool. With the Airpod speaker down (very important) we wet a tip of the swab with alchool. We take out the eccess of alchool and proceed to clean the speaker. Then and always down we perform the disgusting procedure and with the other tip of the swab that is dry we dry it. We return to perform the disgusting procedure. Believe me it works. Also it can do it with the other sensors of the Airods always downwards so that it does not enter anything of líquído inside.
Blu-Tak (other malleable adhesive wall fixings are available) - squidge some into the main speaker port on each AirPod. It will safely remove all wax deposits from the metal mesh covering the speakers.
This worked for me! it was at the middle but I dragged it to the right all the way then to the left all the way and back to the middle and it works. I already removed the wax build up too but this was the key.
Bro I made an account just to reply I was freaking out thinking “am I deaf in one ear or did I break my AirPod” since my left AirPod was considerably lower volume than my right one. So I searched it up and sure enough your solution of the sucking worked I was a bit hesitant at first then I decided “I won’t die from ear wax I’ll give it a try” and omg let me tell you it did wonders it like new now thanks so much.
My left AirPod was very very low on volume and I was at my wits end. As I was on a chat with Apple Support, I came across your post. "Crazy" I thought, but I've tried EVERYTHING else so why not. This 100% fixed my issue. Absolutely nuts and I clean my ears regularly, but I guess at the end of the day it certainly makes sense.
THANK YOU!!!!!
i can confirm that this method works to get the airpod to its original volume. I thought it was an unusual suggestion at first i thought i’d give it a go and although i got some funny looks while sucking the wax out of my earphone i am please to say they work in good condition again. Thanks a lot, olivia x
Sucking Worked for me too. The louder side had no resistance when sucking, the softer slide substantial resistance. I used the back of my daughters earring after sucking. Same suck resistance = same volume. I think normal anatomical variations in ear canals lead people to push one side in harder and thus jam more wax into that side.
Yes, same problem on macOS Mojave. Loud left - Soft volume right.
Nothing wrong with Airpods themselves as they work perfectly and tested on other devices (iPhone and iPad). It appears to be an Operating system issue. NOT ear wax.
OMG the sucking on the airpod worked. Also, I was able to get in there very carefully with a sewing needle just around the inside of the pods and pulled out so much wax. Now these things are LOUD again. So happy.
****WORKS**** The sucking technique worked very well for me. My left Pods was louder and once I did it the first time the right pods was louder so i did the same thing to it and now they are perfect. thanks!
It’s going to sound weird and I got the advise from another person on this forum and it worked for me. You literally suck on the ear piece and wipe it down. It seems to build ear wax over time blocking the sound. Hope this helps.
There is an easy short term fix. While wearing both AirPods and listening to music, go to Settings > General > Accessibility and under hearing, pan the volume left or right till the sound is equal. It should work no matter the problem with your AirPods.
One AirPod was barely producing sound. After confirming this by adjusting the left/right balance in settings, accessibility, I tried the suction advice. Performing three or four inhalations and feeling nothing dislodge, I was dubious. But I put my AirPods back in my ears and voilà, problem solved! Thank you!
Try heating up the AirPod just a LITTLE bit with a hairdryer to melt the wax and then sucking the air out of the big speaker, I know it sounds dumb and I thought that too before I try it but when I did, it became as good as newwwwwwwwwwww, just don’t heat it up too much so you don’t melt any wires or anything
If one AirPod is louder than the other
