This just started a day or two ago. I haven’t dropped it or got it wet but it just started rattling during parts of songs with more bass/volume.

Apparently this is relatively common and wondering if any of you have encountered this or know a fix?

that sux bro, does it sound like crackly?

Assuming it's not some weird Bluetooth connection issue, it could be that the headphone got blown. Although I've never heard of one of those small headphones get blown like that...

Does the issue travel between devices?

they will reportedly replace them even past warranty

Thanks friends. If anyone knows a fix that would be appreciated but a new pair ain’t bad

Take it to the apple store. They will run some tests on it, verify it is liable to be replaced, then give a replacement for free.

I’ve had it happen to 2 different pairs, it’s a manufacturing error.

Wild that they break down that often.

Did they replace your entire pair or just the bud that’s not working?

yea do this

it’s normal @op unfortunately lol but they’ll replace it for free. i used to have airpod pros and workout with them and sweat f***s them up long term but apple won’t admit that

you just fill out that form and they overnight you a replacement and you send back the rattling one

Both of them

Sounds like a class action boy waiting....

Set up an appointment with Apple and they will exchange them. Had it exchanged yesterday for the third time already

They replace the replacements too? I thought it's just for pairs bought before 2020

Yeah

The first time I had this issue was back in 2020, 3 months after I bought them. At that time stores were closed so I had to mail them the malfunctioning one. The several months later in 2021, I faced the same issue and made an appointment. In the store they took both of them for a test even thought I had issue with only one. They came back and told me both were not working properly and gave me a new pair. Now in 2022 I had the same issue once again for the third time but with only right airpod pro. Made an appointment and they took both for a test even thought only one was rattling and came back with new pair. It's getting really annoying that I payed 250 for them and they keep malfunctioning, but I have to give it to Apple for owning up and replacing them, I know other companies wouldn't even bother.

That's dope. Yea you'd much rather not have to deal with it but gotta love the customer service

They replaced my pair I was dealing with the issue. As long as manufactured before Oct 2020. Got a whole new pair free

I haven’t had time to take mine in but mine were made before Oct 2020 so we chillin

Nah just do it this week they could be lame and eventually decide to stop replacing for free. Its easy and quick and then you get working airpods. Mine were rattling rattling but I had just lost the case and had found back up headphones so didn't worry about it. Replaced the case with them then they gave me brand new airpods

Do you need appt or just walk in?

Everything at Apple you need an appointment but you can walk in and make one or make one online if you get in at right time wait time fast especially on airpod replacement like 15-30 minutes in all

Thanks brother
