Airpods Pro 3 Active Noise Cancellation Issue in Airplanes

Is anybody having issues with Airpods Pro 3 Active Noise Cancellation in Airplanes?!


I got 3 flights this week and had the same problem in all of them.


Both earbuds, intermittently make eventual high pitch noises (like a mic feedback) depending on the position of the earbud.


I know we are supposed to grant that the earbud fits perfectly to our ears. I did the test several times and it was ok! Earbuds were fitting perfectly.


But even with a good fit, noises start discretely and then increase slowly until I have to position the earbuds again!


Even worse is trying to have a meal with these earbuds. When I start chewing those noises start and become so loud that I have to remove them to avoid a headache!


I’m really disappointed with that.


I had Airpods Pro 1 and 2 for a total of 6 years! Got at least 20 to 40 flights with them and never had any kind of issues.


Now I really miss my Airpods Pro 2 for flights!


Does anybody know what is happening?!
