People say I sound muffled when using my AirPods

People say I sound muffled when using my pods. I’ve cleaned them, reset them and repaired them. What else can I do?

Hello,

Try this:

Open the Settings app and go to the Bluetooth section. Next to the AirPods entry on the list of devices, you should see an “i” icon inside of a circle. Tap this, then select microphone, and set it to either left, right or automatic. Try switching it back and forth.

Then, test with the Voice Memos app.
