AirPods Pro crackling? That could be the problem

Unfortunately, there is not just one reason why you can notice a crackling sound on the AirPods Pro. That's why we want to first introduce you to the most common reasons why the AirPods Pro crackles when you move. The order does not reflect the frequency because there are no confirmed numbers.

Noise cancellation issues

The noise canceling of the headphones sets them apart from other earbuds. At the same time, this can also be responsible for the AirPod Pro crackling. This is the case, for example, if the microphones that pick up the ambient noise are dirty. This means that the headphones can no longer decide with certainty which sounds are important to the user and should be sent to the ear and which should not.

Bluetooth connection problem

Even if you're used to wearing your earbuds around the house, you should still make sure you have a stable Bluetooth connection. If an AirPod Pro crackles, it may be because the playback device is too far away from you.

Outdated firmware

Another cause of crackling on the AirPods Pro can be outdated software on the playback device. That's why you should check the firmware version of all devices that you have connected to the headphones.

How to fix the crackling sound on AirPods Pro

To solve the AirPods Pro crackling issues, you need to follow some simple steps. For each of the causes mentioned above, we have written a short guide on how to fix the problem. In just a few minutes you can find out whether your AirPods Pro continue to crackle when you move or not.

Clean the headphones

To resolve noise canceling issues, you will need to clean the earbud microphones. You have to proceed carefully because this is sensitive technology. Find a clean and well-lit work environment and only use cleaning products that we have recommended in our detailed cleaning instructions.

Check the Bluetooth connection

To check possible problems with the connection to the playback device, you should interrupt the Bluetooth connection once. Then place the device in the immediate vicinity of your headphones and establish a new connection. Because this will now be stable, you can find out if this caused the AirPod Pro crackling.

Perform a software update

So that the crackling of the AirPod Pro cannot be attributed to outdated firmware, you should update the operating software of the iPad, iPhone or iPod. This only takes a few minutes and ensures that all known problems are eliminated by the new software.

What can you do if your AirPod Pro still crackles

Unfortunately, the aforementioned measures do not always lead to the crackling noise on the AirPod Pro being eliminated. This means that you have to take care of replacements because repairing the headphones rarely makes economic sense.

First check whether you are still covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If yes, then contact Apple and ask for the defective device to be repaired or replaced. If the warranty period has already expired, you must arrange for a replacement yourself. Unfortunately, Apple does not offer individual components of the bundle as replacements. We're already doing it.

Order AirPods Pro replacement now

Some time ago we were faced with the problem that there were no individual components available as spare parts. Since we didn't want to use counterfeit headphones from the Far East, the only option available was to buy a new bundle. We found this unacceptable for several reasons.

• Costs: A new bundle is very expensive and therefore annoying if you only have to replace one headphone.
• Sustainability: Buying a whole set because a pair of headphones is broken and disappeared uses unnecessary resources and creates additional waste that we would have liked to have avoided.

We didn't want to accept this situation and that's why we founded OneEarPod. You can benefit from it today and order from us. What exactly do we offer you?
