My right AirPod had been playing up for the last few months. It was considerably quieter than the left one.
I’d done all the obvious things – cleaning away wax build up, resetting and repairing, checking balance levels in Accessibility settings etc. No change.
Then I came across this post that suggested I ‘suck’ the AirPod speaker. At that point I was happy to try anything. And it worked. Incredibly well. To the point that when I first put it back in my ear the right one was so loud now it felt like the left one wasn’t working by comparison. So I sucked the left one clean as well.
It’s like a new pair of AirPods. So clear, so loud, so crisp. Beautiful.
Reminder to self: suck my AirPods clean every few months.
