For more than four days, I have been doing this and my ears have begun to hurt after wearing the AirPods excessively<\/a>. Also, I realised on waking up that my AirPods were losing charge very fast and dying quickly<\/a> so I decided to use one AirPod<\/strong> at the moment and let the other one charge <\/em>first. This would also heal my ears from the hurt caused by wearing AirPods all times but to my shock, when I plugged in my left Airpod<\/strong>, the sound wasn’t loud enough. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I assumed that maybe the left one isn’t charged well so I switched to the right AirPod<\/strong> and it was as good and loud as before. I managed for the time being but the thought just couldn’t leave my mind that Why is my right AirPod louder than my left ? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This was quite atrocious because I could use one AirPod to manage for a while but I certainly don’t enjoy listening to songs with one AirPod plugged in. I definitely need both the AirPods for the best audio experience.<\/em> I hadn’t even begun to fix why is one AirPod louder than the other<\/strong> and before that, more terrifying thoughts clouded my imagination. What in the worst case, the one AirPod that I am relying on begins to pause <\/a>or gets lost ? With the other one already quieter<\/strong>, it will be an awful situation, as bad as owning no pair of AirPods, at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, cutting off on worrying further, I was determined to find out why is one AirPod quieter than the other<\/strong> and began to search for the best possible solution about how to make AirPod louder.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It wasn’t very easy, if I tell you but the solutions <\/strong>were very much do-able <\/strong>and I am writing this article while wearing both my Airpods<\/em> and they work absolutely fine <\/em>to the best of their volume<\/strong>. I must share with you the methods <\/strong>I adapted for fixing <\/strong>this issue and since it’s a common issue with the AirPods<\/em>, you must equip yourself with all the why(s)<\/em> and how(s)<\/em> of such an issue so that you never find your left AirPod quieter than right<\/strong> or vice-versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, get ready to find out why at times, you have the left AirPod quieter than right<\/strong> and how can this be easily fixed and have a balanced audio<\/strong> on both the left <\/em>and right <\/em>AirPods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After analysing the issue in depth, I found out that the reason for having one AirPod louder than the other<\/strong> can be related to both the software <\/strong>and the hardware <\/strong>of the AirPods. Along with it, there are a few very relevant <\/strong>reasons like dirty AirPods<\/strong>, or if the AirPods were left wet<\/strong>, soaked in the moisture <\/strong>after a long run or if you mistakenly wore them to swimming<\/strong>. There are plenty like that and to make it easy for you, I have created a crisp and short list down here so that you keep <\/em>them in mind <\/em>the next time you wear AirPods <\/em>and keep them safe<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I will not leave it upto you to figure out what a hardware <\/em>or firmware <\/em>on AirPod is or how should be the audio settings <\/em>on your device to hear audio equally <\/em>loud on both the AirPods<\/em>, rather I will explain each one to you so that it will be easier for you to co-relate<\/em> when you learn the troubleshooting techniques.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whenever there is any issue faced while listening to an audio on the AirPods, the AirPods <\/em>are the first ones to blame. It is commonly considered that there is something wrong with the AirPods <\/em>but there is also one possibility that there might be something wrong <\/strong>with the audio file <\/strong>or the song <\/strong>you are trying to play. The file might be corrupted <\/strong>which prevents it from being read <\/em>clearly by the device and heard <\/strong>on the AirPods<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The audios <\/strong>you listen to, are basically ‘stereo-tracks’<\/strong> which send <\/strong>the audio signals<\/strong> to two different channels<\/strong> i.e the Left <\/strong>and the Right<\/strong>. Software <\/em>is used by the Sound engineers<\/em> and artists for creating clearer <\/em>and more immersive <\/em>soundscapes <\/strong>so that when you hear the audio on your device, like AirPods <\/strong>at the moment, the audio can be heard clearly and equally loud on both Left <\/strong>and Right <\/strong>AirPods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Audio Panning<\/a> is the technique <\/strong>used which affects the distance <\/strong>between the sound tracks<\/strong> heard on both the Left <\/strong>and the Right <\/strong>speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the audio <\/strong>which you are playing is heard louder <\/strong>on one AirPod<\/strong> than the other, it is possible that the sound <\/strong>of your Audio File is unstable <\/strong>and audio panning<\/a> has gone wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the audio <\/strong>sounds equally disturpted <\/strong>and low <\/strong>on both the AirPods, then the audio file might not be at fault and there can be an issue with the Audio-Source settings on your device.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n It means your device is experiencing improper Audio-Enhancement settings<\/strong> which is making you hear the audio louder <\/strong>on one AirPod<\/strong> than on both of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If by fault, you have selected the sound settings on one AirPod as ‘Always Left’<\/strong> , or ‘Always Right’<\/strong> , it has automatically <\/strong>given the permission to your device to play the audio louder on one of the AirPod. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It happens when the users forget to check the default settings <\/em>on the device and if the device is already set on a preference to hear louder on one side, such issues are bound to occur and you are just wondering why is one AirPod quieter than the other.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Along with the above issue discussed about the improper audio files<\/em>, there can be something wrong with the hardware <\/strong>of the AirPods, to be precise , with that one AirPod which is exceptionally louder <\/strong>or quieter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the inner mechanism <\/strong>of the AirPod has been goofed up with, you won’t be able to hear clearly on it and this AirPod <\/strong>at fault will either be oddly louder <\/strong>or quieter <\/strong>than the other<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The hardware <\/strong>of the AirPod can be damaged if there is dirt <\/strong>or earwax <\/strong>blocked up inside it and hasn’t been<\/em> cleaned <\/em>for a long time. Also, if it had been wet<\/strong>, there is still moisture <\/strong>locked up on the speaker mesh<\/strong> of the earbuds which is creating these sound issues<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Apple launches firmware updates<\/a> from time-to-time to improve the performance of it’s iDevices and provide the capability to the iDevice’s firmware to keep technical bugs at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the ‘Automatic Update’<\/strong> feature on your iDevice is turned ‘off’ and no recent update has been installed on it, it will affect the device’s performance and in such a case when an audio is played, it won’t be compatible with the AirPods’ firmware and won’t be heard clearly on the AirPods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is funny and I have personally been a victim of this. It happens very commonly that all this while you have just been worrying <\/em>about why is my one AirPod quieter than the other<\/strong> and you haven’t even noticed that there is no charge left<\/strong> on this AirPod<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How do you even expect it to be loud when it has just lost its capability<\/em> to play any audio and is desperately begging to be charged up <\/strong>? Hilarious, isn’t it !<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, before you just give up on that one tiny piece of AirPod, please check if it needs to be charged. Poor battery on the AirPod(s) is one of the least considered but very common reasons for having one AirPod louder than the other.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Briefly, these are the issues which can totally affect the AirPods performance, leaving them incompatible to deliver clear sound and you’ll be left dealing up with the Left AirPod quieter than right <\/strong>or the other way round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After you have with you all the reasons which can mess up either the hardware <\/em>or the software <\/em>of your AirPods, I have one more word of caution <\/em>for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you move ahead and pinch <\/em>the settings <\/strong>on your AirPods<\/strong>, it is essential for you to identify <\/strong>the faulty <\/strong>one. The AirPod <\/strong>on which the sound isn’t balanced<\/strong> and you hear louder <\/em>or quieter <\/em>than the other, please check if it’s broken.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are ways to alter <\/em>the audio settings<\/em>, update software<\/em> and clean the AirPods<\/em> of all the debris but there is no way<\/strong> at all to ‘fix’ <\/strong>an AirPod which is now damaged<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, in this section, you’ll find yourself among the easiest and quick troubleshooting techniques to learn how to fix one AirPod being louder than the other. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, you’ll stumble upon why is one AirPod quieter than the other <\/strong>and how to make one AirPod louder <\/strong>so that you hear equally loud <\/em>on both the AirPods <\/em>and none of the two is quieter <\/em>than the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The very first and most important way to fix <\/em>that one oddly quiet <\/strong>or loud AirPod <\/strong>is to clean <\/strong>it, deeply<\/strong>. If dust <\/strong>or earwax <\/strong>has settled themselves on the AirPod, it is bound to mess up with the audio quality<\/strong> and, if it is not considered urgent to clean it, the audio quality on that Airpod can be damaged forever, making it quiet.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n In common practice, when it comes to cleaning <\/strong>the AirPods, the users just wipe <\/strong>the dust off <\/strong>from the outer surface <\/strong>of the AirPods using a clean cloth <\/strong>but this does not remove the dust and earwax trapped inside <\/strong>the AirPods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This accumulated debris <\/strong>is mainly responsible <\/strong>for the incorrect sound delivery<\/strong>. Since the audio isn’t heard loudly enough on one AirPod, it means the sound delivery is blocked on the inside of the AirPod, i.e the speaker mesh<\/strong> of the earpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since at the moment, the issue at hand is how to make one AirPod louder<\/strong>, this quiet AirPod <\/strong>needs to be cleaned<\/em>, first. Look ahead to grab a step-by-step instructional guide<\/em> about how to deep clean your dirty AirPod.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Steps :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nReason For One AirPod Louder Than The Other<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
