“Hey, forgive: he stopped ringing an airpod.” When I heard this sentence for the first time when I work as a technician, I am missing. Later, I discovered that it is more normal than it seems. Above all, taking into account that as a technician, I have always received damaged devices, it is not that the AirPods have always failed. From there, I said with a few steps to detect if The problem could be solved at the time Or he played to repair. And that's just what I want to tell you today.
Three adjustments to resolve an airpod that is not heard
Before starting to dismantle or look for the warranty ticket, There are several things that are good to check. And although they may seem basic things, you would be surprised at what can sometimes be overlooked. The typical “Have you tried to restart?” But applied to AirPods.
Check the battery
Yes, something as ridiculously simple as one of the airpods has less battery than the other. This can happen, especially if you talked on the phone, because only the microphone of one of the airpods is used. It may also be that You have not done well contact one of them in the case of loading And, therefore, he has already gone from a lower battery. Get them in your case for at least 30 seconds and check the individual battery levels opening the case near your iPhone. If you see a big difference between them, you already have the first suspect.
Stereo balance
This adjustment is the king of “mysterious” problems and almost no one knows. Go to Settings> Accessibility> Audio / Visual And check that the balance cursor is perfectly centered (0.00). If you are a golden inclined, one of your airpods will sound lower than the other. It is an adjustment that you can touch without wanting and that drives you crazy in search of problems where there is not really.
Spatial audio with head movement
The space audio with is wonderful to get a super real effect, as if you were in a concert. But he can also be responsible for You perceive the unbalanced sound. Press the volume level in the control center when using your airpods. My advice is that monitoring the head is left fixed.
Restore and completely reset your airpods
I had to do it to restore the dozens of times AirPods with my AirPods Pro, and although it looks like a fat, it works surprisingly well. This reset will go into two phases:
- Put the AirPods and access Settings> Bluetooth and play the “I” symbol next to your AirPods.
- Select “Forget this device”.
- Put the airpods in the case and leave the lid open.
- Keep the rear physical button for about 30 seconds until the orange light flashes three times.
You can now connect airpods to your iPhone as the first day after buying them. Put them and reproduce music to verify that everything is in order and that the two AirPods look like.

Even if you don't believe it, it may be dirt
Do not imagine the things I saw when treating so many AirPods repairs. The ear price and dirt can partially block the sound. I look at a look and “disagree” the pads if they are AirPods Pro. In Applesfera, we have a more complete guide on how to clean the AirPods, but here you have the most essential steps.
- Superficial cleaning: A dry cloth pass through the entire surface.
- Grids: With very soft circular movements, brush the mesh with a very soft toothbrush.
- Disinfect alcohol: If there are persistent spots, it slightly moistens a fight with isopropyl alcohol. There are also wipes with this type of alcohol. It is important that you do not use a doctor because it can be too aggressive.
I tell you by experience: in more than half of the cases, a good cleaning solves the problem of unequal volume.

Change of pads
More than cleaning, there are times when the AirPods pro pads are broken. It happened to one of my very close friends who was about to change her aircraft when I asked them to take a look. When you move it, the silicone has been crackedThis made that the sealing of the sound is not good and, therefore, the cancellation of noise has made “strange things”. The solution was to buy new pads in the Apple Store and save more than 200 dollars in New Airpods Pro.
When you have to admit defeat
If you have tried absolutely everything and one of your airpod continues to play low, or there is directly an airpod that does not seem … We are probably faced with a material problem. Check if they are under warranty so that the repair has no cost or planted to replace one of the airpods. Apple allows you to buy a coward for this type of case. You can request it via an Apple store or an official technical service. My advice is that you download the Apple support app and request an appointment in your nearest official or technical service distributor.
In most cases, Some of these tips will make sound balance to your airpods. The next time you notice that one sounds lower than the other, before panicking or getting the card, try these home arrangements. Many of my clients have been saved from the purchase of a new model.
