AirPods Pro microphone delay

Like so many others I see having this problem a few years ago, the microphone on my AirPods Pros were delaying recording for a few seconds, and sometimes sounding very muffled. Then it would sound normal as long as I was talking fairly loudly. If I stopped, it would delay recording again. I have seen no solutions, and Apple support did not help. I tried everything recommended from resetting my air pods, updating OS etc., but no change. I switched to a wired Apple ear buds, thinking that would solve it, but it didn't! So this must be a problem with with my iPhone 8+. No? If I switch to speaking directly into the phone, no problem.


Any solutions out there?

Hi kornegli,


We would love to help see if we can get to the bottom of this for you. From what you're describing this happens when you're recording, correct? We ask because the details you've provided describe very different possible issues that could be related to the device. You mentioned the device mic works fine, but both bluetooth and wired connections do not. If this is only happening in one app, that would indicate some issue with the app with wired and wireless devices. Normally, if the issue is related to the headset or the device, it could be isolated by trying a wireless or wired connection as they are two entirely different functions.


Given that information, let's focus on the specific app. If the app is a third-party app, we recommend checking for and installing any available app updates in the App Store, and updating iOS.


If the issue is related to the device, it may not sound related, but you may consider checking to see if your battery needs to be replaced. A depleted battery can affect certain things, or overall performance. To check, please follow the steps below.


  1. Go to Settings
  2. Battery
  3. Battery Health

Cheers!
