AirPods are a fantastic investment for anyone looking for a wireless audio experience. However, some users may experience issues with their AirPod microphone. If you’re experiencing difficulty with your AirPod microphone, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the issue.
First and foremost, you need to check for any dust or debris that might be blocking the microphone. You can do this by taking your AirPods out of the case and examining the microphone. If you notice any buildup of earwax or debris, clean it off.
If that doesn’t solve the problem, try plugging your AirPods directly into your ears and then head to your iPhone’s settings. Navigate to the Bluetooth section, find your AirPods, and select the microphone option. Change it to either your left or right AirPod. If you have your right AirPod connected, and the left one is still in the case, it might default to the left one, so keep it on “automatically switch AirPods,” and your microphone should start working.
If neither of those solutions works, try updating your phone’s operating system or repairing your AirPods to your phone. To repair them, place your AirPods back in the case and hold down the button on the back until the white light starts blinking. Then follow the prompt to repair them to your device.
If none of these solutions work, then contact Apple for assistance. There may be a hardware issue with your AirPods that requires professional attention.
By following these steps, you should be able to fix the microphone issues you are having with your AirPods. Enjoy your wireless audio experience once again!
