Why are my AirPods so quiet?
Your AirPods are so quiet because they are not properly connected. It is also possible that your AirPods are dirty and the noise is canceled out because of this. In addition, there may be a problem with the firmware, which is not currently updated.
Finally, your AirPods may have a hardware problem, in which case you will have to visit an authorized service center. Whatever the reason, we’ll take a look at some of the best ways to fix low sound on AirPods.
How to fix if Airpods are quiet?
Here, we have listed seven of the most effective fixes that are sure to solve AirPods low volume or silence issue. We recommend that you follow each of them in order to know exactly what the problem is.
Put your AirPods in the case and then take them out
As simple as it sounds, putting your AirPods back in their case and then taking them out is one of the best ways to fix an AirPods problem. However, don’t take them out right away. Instead, put your AirPods in a case, then charge them for a while, then take them out and plug them in. When connected, check if the volume of your AirPods is too low.
Check battery level
Due to a low battery, your AirPods may sound very quiet or have a low volume. So make sure you put them on charge and let them fully charge. After that, connect your phone or computer and check if they work well.
Turn up the volume
It may sound silly at times, but many people who depend on AirPods for their daily lives forget that there is even a volume rocket on their phones. As a result, when they start using their AirPods, they use them ad infinitum and forget to increase their sound ever. If the fixes above haven’t helped so far, your device’s volume may be quite low and you should try turning it up.
Check for Dirt
Users often continue to use their AirPods and forget that dust, dirt, and even earwax can clog AirPods. As a result, your AirPods will sound quiet, even if there may be no sound in the worst case. You should clean your AirPods regularly with cotton swabs and isopropyl alcohol. If you have any difficulty, check out our iPhone cleaning guide because it has all the steps you need to clean it effectively.
Reset your AirPods
If the sound of your AirPods is very quiet, the best way to fix it is to reset your AirPods. Resetting Airpods is not difficult, but you need to follow the steps on your phone. So, follow these steps to reset your AirPods:
- Disconnect your AirPods, place both of them in the case, and close it.
- Now on your iPhone go to “Settings”.
- In the settings window, tap Bluetooth.
- Now press the i button next to your AirPod and select Forget This Device.
- When prompted, click “Forget”again.
- Now open the Airpod case, press and hold the system key for 15 seconds until the yellow or green light starts blinking (depending on the model).
- Your AirPods will now enter pairing mode. Bring them to your iPhone and connect.
Once connected, try playing the song and check if they are loud or not. If you are doing this on a PC, you need to follow the same steps, just forget it under your bluetooth device and reconnect them. If that doesn’t help, follow the next fix.
Update Firmware
Sometimes old firmware can cause a lot of problems, such as AirPods being quiet. Unlike the iPhone, you cannot update the firmware manually. However, there is a way to do this, and it’s easy.
Simply connect both AirPods to your iPhone and let them stay connected for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, they will be automatically updated. Keep in mind that this fix cannot be applied on a Windows PC. You can only use iPhone or Mac.
Contact service center
If none of the above fixes have helped you so far, it is highly recommended that your AirPods silence issue is not software or dust related, but a hardware malfunction. As a result, we never recommend that anyone open AirPods and try to fix them themselves.
Not to mention DIY, we also don’t suggest you give your AirPods to anyone other than an Apple Authorized Service. This will save you from future troubles, as well as from voiding your warranty.
