[BenTeswech]

I got mine yesterday and this started happening!

Bought mine yesterday, out of the box exactly the same thing identicall !

[sharkbite]

I think I heard they do this so it doesn't end up damaging the case

[notthere]

Same I got mine yesterday and they do the same.

[Billiondollars]

Dude it’s been like 6hrs since I bought the AirPods 3 and this started happening 🙁

[zoowadi]

Bougth airpods pro 2 yesterday, noticed it within minutes

[joecollier]

It’s for when they get warm from temperatures the metal has the ability to expand without affecting the AirPods hinge opening

[Susboi]

Mine happens too but I get use to it.it’s actually fun once in a while

[caiomesitieridelemos]

same thing with mine. I only realized it a while later and it made me imagine that I had broken mine. it's somehow satisfying to discover it wasn't my fault, though the noise still annoys me

[Kevin-jklh]

That all have it the hinges need space to work properly

[happydudeev]

every single airpod case does that, got my airpods pro 2 today and it does that, my pare before that also, and my mom's and sisters also does it, its normal

[soapyslice]

I just got mine yesterday, same thing happened. Idk why it's happening!

[sheldon-qurr]

I’ve had 4 pairs of AirPods and they all do this

[siad]

same issue here. It feels like a manufacturing defect. I feel like returning the airpod back!

[deepakb]

Even I was searching for a service centre … within 2 days of purchase I noticed n same feeling like it’s a defect or what..

[fazegillgaming]

I have AirPods 2nd gen and this happens it’s normal for all airpods

[Rain-sqlg]

it's easy to look at a brand new product, see that and think there's something wrong with it. same with me, but no, it's normal and i would definitely rather have it than the hinge on Sony wf1000xm4s for example

[Flowfly_bit]

From the first Day i bought them, there was.
Thinking it was an error of the factory, i bought another couple but nothing changed. Any way to solve it?

[Dyl_Apple]

Yeah I think it’s on purpose so the hinge isn’t rubbing metal on metal, idk for sure but I do know it’s not a defect and that all AirPods of all models of all generations (not including AirPods Max) do this

[Shbeeve]

i got mines yesterday and it started happening right away
