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!!

Hi


It may help to check your settings:


Go to: Settings > General > Accessibility > under "Hearing", check and, if required, adjust the audio volume balance slider between the left and right channels.

It is ear wax buildup that causes one earpiece to play quieter than the other.

the easiest trick: instead of pushing the dirt deeper into the mesh and towards the speaker by cleaning it with a cloth, try ‘sucking/inhaling’ the air through the main mesh - you’ll be surprised what will come out of it.

This has worked for me. I guess this will work as long as you address this issue quickly before the ear wax manages to solidify.
