An AirPod is quieter - here's what to do!

Posted by "OneEarPod" on

Even though the in-ear headphones from Apple are valued for their outstanding sound, unfortunately this doesn't always last. A problem that many users talk about is that an AirPod becomes quieter over time. Today we want to explain to you what you can do if your AirPods have become quieter.

There are several reasons that could cause the AirPods to make different noises. You can fix most of them without much effort, because if an AirPod doesn't work, it doesn't necessarily mean it's defective. If you do need a replacement, you will also find out how you can order it from us.

One AirPod is quieter than the other - what could be the problem?

As with most other electronic devices, Apple 's headphones are not made to last forever. As you continue to use them, you may experience volume issues and feel like your AirPods have become quieter. We would like to look at the most common causes.

Headphones dirty

One of the most common reasons why AirPods have different levels of noise is dirt. The more you use your AirPods, the more likely they are to become dirty. We have put together what you can do about it in a Instructions for cleaning the AirPods. As long as you do this carefully, nothing can happen to your headphones.

The balance is not set correctly

It also happens from time to time that the volume on the individual headphones is output at different levels. You can easily check this by putting both AirPods in your ear and connecting them to a playback device. Enter the menu and go to audio settings. Here you will find controls to adjust the balance.

The firmware is out of date

As with your cell phone, there are regular firmware updates for the AirPods. To rule out outdated software, you should update it when your AirPods have become quieter. Sometimes it also helps to reset the devices to the factory settings.

What to do if an AirPod is quieter?

Now that you have learned about the most common causes of headphones becoming quieter, we would now like to give you a list so that you can rule out these causes. We recommend that you proceed as follows:

  1. Check your headphones for dirt. Under no circumstances should you use water and follow our cleaning instructions. If you look closely you can usually tell whether the volume is affected by dirt.
  2. If you can rule out contamination, then check in the second step whether the balance is set correctly. Even if this is the case, you can try adjusting the configuration to compensate for the difference in volume. Then the cause has not been resolved, but you no longer have a problem because an AirPod is quieter. As a rule, this solution is not permanent because the technical problem that caused the quieter AirPod could not be resolved.
  3. If step two doesn't improve, then reset the firmware and install the current version.
  4. The last option if a single AirPod doesn't work is to buy a replacement part. You are welcome to contact us about this.

What can you do to ensure you enjoy your headphones for a long time

If you don't have any problems with your AirPods making different noises, then you can do something to ensure that you don't have this problem by using them carefully.

Since dirt is the most common cause of a quieter AirPod, you should be very careful where you put your headphones. The safest way to store them is in the charging case. Washing your ears regularly also helps ensure that less earwax can collect on the earplugs.

AirPod cannot be repaired? We have a replacement!

If you have followed all of our advice and an AirPod still doesn't work, your only option is to buy a replacement. Luckily, you don't have to buy a whole new bundle to do this. Even if Apple itself does not offer any individual components.

This allows you to save a lot of money. A single left AirPod is of course significantly cheaper than a whole set. The environment also benefits from this because fewer resources are used and less waste is created. Why should you throw away working parts because the AirPods have different noises?

We only offer original goods

We would be happy to introduce you to how we work. It's actually pretty simple. We buy original Apple AirPods ourselves. We then divide these sets into individual components and sell them to our customers. This was the easiest way for us when we were looking for a solution to the lack of individual components for the headphones. The idea came about because we, as enthusiastic users ourselves, were looking for a single pair of headphones.

The manufacturer's guarantee also applies to the individual parts we resell. And because we want you to be able to enjoy music again immediately, we test all products before you rely on them to ensure they work again. This way we can reassure you that you will be spared a situation in which an AirPod doesn't work.

We value speed

We have already experienced how annoying it is when an AiPod is quieter. That's why we've tried to keep all processes as lean as possible and to deliver replacements to you as quickly as possible. Our online shop is deliberately kept simple. After all, you know which spare part you are looking for and which AirPod it should be for. We carry individual components for AirPods of the second and third generations as well as for the AirPod Pro.

Once you have found the right replacement part, you can pay directly via Express Checkout. If you prefer, you can also pay via the shopping cart. Shipping takes place within 24 hours, so you can be listening to music and podcasts on both ears again within a few days. There are no shipping costs because we ship all of our products free of charge.
