Is there a hardware piece physically rattling inside? Or is this a software issue?
I have the new airpods but haven't had any issues (besides a single airpod sometimes not syncing with my phone at first). For what it's worth, I rarely ever use the mic.
- outworlder 6y agoNo, sounds like a software issue. EDIT: other sources are saying it is actually a hardware problem. But there's nothing actually "loose" that's physically rattling as far as people can tell (specially since noise cancellation off minimizes the problem)
- another_kel 6y agoIt's hardware 100%. I had that thing on my left one first only in noise cancellation and close to max volume. But then I dropped it onto asphalt and that thing became loud af in any mode on any volume. Doubt that the drop affected the software.
- Hamuko 6y agoAren't the AirPods pretty tightly packed and full of glue? You'd think there'd be very little tolerance for something to rattle about in there (not that I know what it sounds like).
- mleo 6y agoI don't think it was something physically coming dislodged, at least in my case. When in noise cancelling or transparency, and I spoke I would get static in the right AirPod. If I wasn't speaking or hearing any other external sounds coming in, the speaker was fine.
- sudosysgen 6y agoIt seems to be a microphone failure causing erratic noise-cancelling behaviour.
- foobarbazetc 6y agoIt’s like a deteriorating component or maybe ear wax or something getting where it shouldn’t. They worked fine for a month or so...
