I have AirPods 2 and they leak sound where you can hear the audio that the listener is playing if you focus on it. It’s very annoying if you’re right next to someone and using AirPods with a high volume. It happens with other pairs of AirPods too with different iPhones so is there any fix or do I need to buy a new pair?
Model number A2031
Firmware version 5E135
AirPods (2nd generation)
