I bought my third gen airpods a year and a half ago and I’ve noticed that the sound is quite low even if I turn the volume all the way to the max. I tried cleaning the speaker part and nothing works. Some times, the left airpod is also louder than the right one.

This issue has been faced by many individuals but this is not something that can't be fixed, with right solutions applied it can be easily fixed, There could be several possible reasons why your AirPods are so quiet, and some here are some ways to fix them.
But if none these solutions worked then visit this detailed guide that covers 9 ways to fix AirPods volume problems that are too quiet. I hope this helps you solve your problem.
My third gen did the same thing. It was extremely low for both headphones. I just got the 2nd generation that apple discontinued this year and they are much louder smh. I’m going to stick with those much better quality..
This seems to be an ongoing problem but evidently with different causes. My AirPods 2nd Gen suddenly went quiet when I updated my iPhone 15 Pro Max to 18.1.1 but only when I play music. Alert sounds are normal. I got back some volume after turning off Sound Check and turning the EQ off then back on. They still don't sound as loud as they were, but it's better. I've always had Sound Check on, so I'm not sure what changed in regard to the system.
My air pods are very quiet idk why they were perfect and nice until a week or two ago now there very quiet but one is louder than the other also when I put them on the one that quiet sople around me tell me they can hear my music so the air pods sound more outside then inside
Maaan, you are awsome. I have just found comment and literally saved my airpods 😀 I have checked the mesh closer and it was completely blocked.
For cleaning I used isopropyl alcohol and ear cleaning sticks and some compressed gas and it works 😀
Thank you so much
I noticed it happens to me after Siri notifies me of something and I stop the announcement. The volume goes down when Siri announces something but never comes back up. Asking Siri to raise the volume seems to fix it.
I tried all of these solutions without success. Then, after coming to terms with the possibility of having to buy new AirPods, I used a can of compressed air and blew it through all of the mesh openings. This completely fixed the issue! I'm not sure if blasting air will damage the tiny speakers, but it worked for me. Good luck!
I figured it out! Search "Headphone Safety" and turn it OFF - that of course is putting your ears at risk, but now you have full volume control
As for the left right volume balance…
Go to Settings… Accessibility… Audio/Visual. You can set the left right balance from there.
You are a life saver thank you so much
Worked thx a lot I tried it without the rubbing alc still works
It worked 🙂 it was the only thing that worked . Thank you so much
Why is my air pods low
the sound of the airpodes so low
I had my AirPods on max volume and they were quite quiet (for my liking); tried your tip and gave myself a heart attack with how loud and clear they were. Thank you!! :D
Turning off the Sound Check setting in Apple Music is what worked for me! I was pulling my hair out trying to fix this so thank you for your comment!
Why is the volume on my AirPods so low?
