How To Mute My Airpod 4 Case

Two weeks ago I upgraded my first series Airpods as one's battery life had reduced to half an hour.

I bought the Airpod 4 ANCs, and while the actual headphones have been amazing, the case is the most irritating device ever. SHUTUP.

Morning noon day and night they constantly make noises, my iPhone and Macbook are up to date, and I have tried turning case sounds off via both devices settings.

I factory reset the Airpods to no avail, as well as plugging into my Mac via USB-C to try the settings.

Seriously, what do I do? I'm about to refund them and get something that doesn't have a totally useless feature, and choose something well away from Apple.

I'd rather Apple charge $20 less for this device not to have speakers in this case, or whatever exorbitant price was tacked on to have non-functioning junk in the case.

Anyway, I hope this provided some sense of schadenfreude at my expense. There are worse issues in life XD
