Airpods Pro: Quick Fixes for Sound Issues

In this video (part three of the series on how to use your AirPods Pro as hearing aids) I cover how to fix a loss of sound (or “dipping”) when using custom transparency mode. This tip may also help for those that are experiencing static or feedback during normal use.

Like others, I was ready to send my AirPods Pro in for replacement when I discovered a quick and easy remedy.

Let me know if this helps you in the comments below.

I watched your video today. For 3 weeks my mics were not working. I used a straight pin and now mics instantly worked! Thank you!

Omg I have had my pros from day one and I never saw the mic hole on the metal band! U must have super sonic eyes!!

This video just saved me $200 I was on my way to buy a new pair of AirPods thinking mine where messed up. They where just dirty. I followed what you said and now people can hear me when I speak. Good video 👍🏼

This video is immensely helpful. I was about to give up on my AirPods Pro because so many people reported that they could not hear me. I had no idea about that hole in the bottom.

Spent ton of time looking for a solution for muffled mic sound on audio calls. This actually worked! Most of the people in the internet threads think it's software problem, but seems like it's all about dusty mics. Little mics at the bottom didn't change anything, but when I finished with the black ones on sides - airpods just started to work as new with no problems.

Thanks, saved me from fixing calls to always use my left mic, and mic noise cancelling seems to actually work again 🙏

I had these airpods sitting around for 3 years collecting dust coz the volume was incredibly low. I was going to throw them away... But your video was heaven sent... I would have never thought to suck out the vents. They are almost as new. Thank you.

My right airpod has been horrible lately with lots of static and distortion.
I followed the tutorials advice and wiped out the mic at the tip and it works

2 years on and your great video is still helping folk! Had some intermittent crackling sounds in right pod for months… watched your video by chance….a judicious bit of careful brushing…and it has immediately gone! Many thanks!!

Yes I learned to clean the charging area on the headphones and use a cotton swap to clean the charging connectors in the case too

[joncaradies]

Wow !!!! I was going bonkers when I played my guitar as my airpods were feeding back like crazy and fading on and off in volume Just a sincere thank you as this totally fixed the problem

[saiftama]

WOW. I didn't even see that hole in the metal band at the bottoms.

[madantushar]

Though not related to AirPods Pro but was facing issues with the AirPods 3 low music/video volume even at max levels. Tried this trick and it worked like a charm. It was indeed the dust in the microphone holes that was causing the problem in the audio. Thanks much for this video.

I looked at all mics & cleaned them. I could run my hand over my iPod in that spot and hear it in my ear or on recording but I did not see the mic until watching your video! Thank you! I hope this clears it out!

[weakshoe]

This helped actually helped a lot, I've been dealing with this problem for like months, and I had to keep in off mode. But thanks to you, everything is fixed, thank you so much.

[TheBigScorpion]

I didn’t wanna get new ones cause the warranty expired 😅 I appreciate your video, really saved me time and money 🙏🏽

[OVER-bENGINEERED]

Thanks for this video! Locktite fun-tak is an excellent product for dejunking electronic holes too. Very sticky but easy to pull free from things.

[shubhamgupta]

Just cleaned the microphone and now its working fine. Thank you soooo much man ❤

[Unclesam]

Thank you so much. I already replaced a pair thinking it was a software issue, then ran into the issue again. A quick deep clean with a alcohol wipe did the trick

[connorrrrrrrrrr]

Wow, I had experienced the same issue for two different pairs with seemingly no answer online and this worked for both. Thank you.
