My air pods max sounds like I’m far away when I’m on a call…I’m close to my phone. And with good wifi

Are my airpod max defective?

everytine I answer a call I sound far away. I made multiple calls from different places with the phone close to my face and the other person still is unable to hear me

Hey there LifeWithVee,


If you notice issues with the sound on your AirPods Max, try unpairing them and pairing again with your iPhone to help with possible connection and sound issues:


Unpair from an iPhone:
1. Tap Settings > Bluetooth.
2. Find the device that you want to unpair and tap the Info button .
3. Tap Forget This Device.
4. Restart your iPhone.

To pair again, use these steps: If the sound from your wireless headphones cuts out or is distorted - Apple Support


If this persists, test with another device to see if the sound issues happen there. If they do, continue with resetting your AirPods Max here: How to reset your AirPods Max - Apple Support


Take care!
