AirPod volume

Hi, recently my volume has been turned down when I have my AirPods in. When I have the volume all the way up, it only sounds like it’s halfway up. I have tried a couple ways to fix this and none have worked. I can’t tell if it’s my iPhone 13 Pro doing something to my volume or my AirPod speakers have blown or something. This is frustrating because I got this NEW pair just a couple months ago and would like them to work properly. Also everyone is saying they can hear very loud music from my AirPods (even though it’s very quiet in my ears. My AirPods just randomly became quiet when I put them in yesterday and was wondering if someone could help me. Thanks.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Let's perform a series of steps to isolate the issue.

First, let’s check for a software update and make sure that you are running the latest version of iOS.

While it isn't inherently assured that an update will resolve the issue, updating to the latest software version for your device can help isolate potential software issues. 

Kindly secure a backup and update.

If the issue persists after a reset, it is possible that the headphones notifications feature is active on your device.

As mentioned in the article below, "after receiving a notification, the next time you plug in your headphones or connect them via Bluetooth, your volume will be automatically set to a lower level."
