Tips
- If just one of your AirPods sounds quiet or muffled, check the audio balance settings on the connected device. On Apple devices, you can do this by going into the Settings menu, then opening Accessibility and selecting Audio/Visual. From there, open Balance and check to see that the balance slider is set to the middle.[13]Thanks
