In reply to ikomrad. Same issue here. 2 months past the 3 years term. They do refuse.

In reply to Stephen. Because mine are past 3 years. They are 3 years and 1 month, and Apple refused to fix them.

Just a quick update for people I have the same issue took it into the Apple Store they can’t fix it and AirPod Pro first generation’s are not sold anymore. But turning off noise cancellation seems to fix it. Will do that until they really break. Bummer to lose the noise canceling.

In reply to Nedim. Exact same scenario but the right AirPod still isn’t clear…

In reply to Penny. The issue is with the microphone. So if you disable Noise Cancellation, the issue goes away. You can do that without a software update; it's nothing to do with software. However I will say that it is indeed odd that it's always the right Airpod.

When I use only left side, I don’t have any issues, but when I plug right side (as streo), issue starts. After I’ve watched your video, I tried coule of things (forget device, clean a little bit) at last swiching off noise cancellation/transparent worked. I guess mic is causing my issue.

I experience the same issue with my own airpods pro. I’m wearing it right now and the sound just disappeared after a new fading sound seems to have ‘recalibrated’ the NC. I have tried using my warranty for my device and have my airpods looked into by Apple in their store but they said that, after some checks done in half an hour, there was no problem. They just suggested that I keep my firmware up to date, which has been completely useless given its been kept up to date since Ive used it. I’m hoping to hear from this discussion who succeeded to get their airpods replaced.

Yep. This happened to my AirPods, too; also the R pod. This was too much of a coincidence that it is always the R pod, so I figured it must be in the software. So, I first did IOS updates on my iPhone AND iPad and then I reset my AirPods, just as you directed. However, when I tapped “Forget this device”, a window popped up and said my iPods would be forgotten for ALL of my devices, and to confirm forgetting this device. I said yes, then waited about an hour to “reconnect” AirPods to my iPhone, but I still had static on the R. Then I decided to toggle the “Noise Cancellation, Off and Transparency” tabs under Bluetooth settings and magically there is no more static from my R pod. Both AirPods are working beautifully.

In reply to Michael Brandon. So. Frustrating. Right?
