This short article provides information on how AirPods sound volume issues can be fixed. Users usually report two common issues:
- Sound from your AirPods is low
- One AirPod is louder than the other
In fact, I was having this problem also. I noticed that my left AirPod was louder than the right. Are you having this problem too? Are your AirPods not working properly on one side or both? Do you think that you do not get good sound quality? Or do you think that you hear low sound from your AirPods? Here is how you can fix it.
Please note that you can use Siri to control it or you can go to Bluetooth settings for the AirPods to adjust the volume level.

Resolution
- The first thing is to go to Settings > General > Accessibility and scroll down and find the “Hearing” section. This section lets you to set a left/right audio balance. Do this step if you think one pod is quieter than the other. It might be this setting. The AirPods are supposed to have the same volume level unless the balance is changed. You can adjust the volume level for each pod.
- Restart your iOS device or other connected device.
- Turn off Bluetooth and wait a few seconds and turn back on. On your iPhone or iPad, you can do this by going to Settings > Bluetooth.
- While using your AirPods (e.g.; listening music), turn down the volume to zero, on your device, go to the Bluetooth settings (e.g.; if it is iPhone or iPad: Settings > Bluetooth) and disconnect your AirPods. To do that, tap on the blue “i” icon next to your AirPods and tap Disconnect (just disconnect, do not unpair). On your iPhone, launch the Music app and play some music. And turn the volume all the way down to zero. Then reconnect your AirPods and turn up the volume.
- AirPods are updated automatically. Apple releases updates on a regular basis. Perhaps there’s a firmware update available. To make sure that your AirPods are updated, do the followings:
- Place your AirPods in the charging case
- Make sure that you plug in the charging case
- Make sure that your connected iOS device is connected to the Internet and not too far from the charging case
- Is one of the pod is getting quieter? Or do you hear muffled sound? Perhaps it is time to clean it. As you wear your AirPods, your skin cells and ear wax may block the openings. This gunk can also get inside the AirPods speakers and cause these problems. Apple explains how you can clean them. What we recommend is that clean your AirPods with a soft, clean toothbrush. Brush the larger opening (sound opening) of your Airpods and remove any debris. Be careful, do not brush too hard. This can and will push debris and wax inside. Then “suck” on the opening. Suck until you could feel air flowing through. Then carefully brush and wipe again.
Hopefully, one of the tips above will help you fix your low volume problem. If not, you may be having a hardware related problem. You can make a Genius Bar reservation.

My Google maps is not working anymore
why look at the world when you are the world. 🙂
Stupidly I didn’t step-by-step document this so I don’t know which stage helped, although it did help.
Cleaning didn’t help a lot, I did notice a minor improvement but nothing worth writing home about.
What did help though was in General > Accessibility, changing to mono gave it a volume boost.
I did all the other steps and it seems more like when I initially bought them now.
FOUND THE SOLUTION;
Settings > Music > Playback > Volume Limit. Adjust the max volume output.
Not sure how I set mine to 15% but it’s fixed and the limit volume is now off.
Cleaning with the clean toothbrush worked like a champ – nearly doubled my volume.
