AirPods have become a must-have accessory for many people due to the features they include and how well they integrate into the company’s ecosystem. Little by little they have evolved to include a more than good noise cancellation, but unfortunately they can end up failing. In the event that one of the headphones is heard more than the other, we will explain how you can solve it.
Are the grates clean?
The dirt that can be stored in the sound outlet due to always wearing them on the ear can cause it to not be heard well. If this is your case, you should know that you never have to put the headphones under a tap with water. If you have pads, you can rinse them with water without using soap or any chemical product.
If you simply want to clean the grill, you have to use a microfibrillary cloth that does not release any type of lint. You should keep it moist but again without any type of chemical that could harm the construction material of the AirPods. In this way you can remove most of the suicide that can be found in the sound output and enjoy a much more adequate volume.
Try reconnecting the AirPods
One of the most typical solutions that you can apply in the event that they fail you in some way, for example that one of them stops hearing well, is to reconnect them. To do this you can follow the following steps:
- Go to Settings.
- Enter the ‘Bluetooth’ section.
- Next to your paired AirPods, click on the ‘i’ that you will find.
- Click on ‘Disconnect device’.
Once this is done you can reconnect them in the same Bluetooth configuration screen. This does not restore the configuration or disconnect from your Apple ID, but always in these cases there may be a connection problem. With these steps you can easily force the headphones to be reconnected.
Restore the AirPods to fix the failure
As with iPhones or Macs, AirPods can also be reset to factory settings. This way you can ensure that there is no problem with the link. In order to do this, you simply have to follow the following steps:
- In Settings go to Bluetooth.
- Click on the ‘i’ icon that you will find next to your AirPods.
- Click on ‘bypass device’.
- Put the AirPods in their case and always connected to the charger while the lid is closed.
- Open the lid after 30 seconds and press and hold the button on the back.
- When the LED turns white, move it closer to the iPhone to reconfigure them.
This way the headphones will be as if you had taken them out of the box the first day. This process solves most of the problems you will encounter with your headphones.
Contact Apple if you can’t find the solution
In the event that none of these solutions has solved the problem you have with the sound, it is possible that there is a fault in the hardware itself. The fact of having accidentally hit it is also possible that it has caused something that you are not seeing on the outside to have broken. This is something that can only be solved by Apple itself in its technical service. In a very easy way you can make an appointment as a result of this problem and even that they can pick up the equipment at home so that they can carry out the repair.
