Why is the volume on my AirPods so low?

I bought my third gen airpods a year and a half ago and I’ve noticed that the sound is quite low even if I turn the volume all the way to the max. I tried cleaning the speaker part and nothing works. Some times, the left airpod is also louder than the right one.

I don’t think that is the problem because I have 3rd gen air pods that I got last year and even after cleaning they still do not work. The side speaker works but not the main one so people next to me can hear my music but I cant.

My air pods are very quiet idk why they were perfect and nice until a week or two ago now there very quiet but one is louder than the other also when I put them on the one that quiet sople around me tell me they can hear my music so the air pods sound more outside then inside

Maaan, you are awsome. I have just found comment and literally saved my airpods 😀 I have checked the mesh closer and it was completely blocked.

For cleaning I used isopropyl alcohol and ear cleaning sticks and some compressed gas and it works 😀

Thank you so much
