My APP2 are producing a crackling/rattling noise when I am using them for phone calls. Both, me and the receiver on the other end can hear the disturbance. This issue occurs randomly, and even multiple times. (sometimes late into the phone call, 1hr+).

Everything else works fine. No issues otherwise, while listening to music or streaming videos.

The way I resolve/fix it (temporarily) is by reconnecting them by switching my bluetooth off and on.

Relevant facts: Bought it from US, when it was launched. The limited warranty ends this September end (2023).

I am from India, and I have already tried sending it to the *authorised service centre* here, twice. (I don’t have an Apple Store in my city). All they have done is just ‘update’ the software and send it back, saying there are no issues. They denied issuing a replacement for these as no issues showed up on the “tests” run by them.

I have an option to send it to US (Bay Area) to my relatives and get it exchanged/replaced, as they are still in warranty. (But, idk how the replacement works? I am not sure if they will exchange tho, as I am not familiar with how things work there. Nor am I confident as no issues showed up on the tests run here).

This whole process will take 2months or more. I don’t know if it will be worth the hassle. Is it even worth it? Or should I just settle and accept this is how it’s gonna be…

Has anyone else faced any similar issues? Did you get it resolved or get your APP2 replaced? I would really really appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hearing loss?

I can’t tell if I’m going deaf because of my AirPods or if my ears are just clogged, about 2 weeks ago I was taking a shower then water got in my ears or something while I was cleaning myself and they just clogged with water and everything was muffled, couldn’t hear much. About a week later they are still clogged but I’m getting my hearing back. After a bit a 2 weeks I can hear way better but it still feels like there is an air pocket in my ear. My family is telling me it’s my AirPods because I would frequently use them to listen to music and they noticed I had hearing problems when I asked them to repeat problems. I would often listen to music above 60% volume like the bar filled at 70%.

Issue with Find my

When I am at home everything is okay. As soon I leave home with both my iPhone and Airpods Pro 2, the iPhone is giving a notification I left my Airpods at home. How is that possible?
