Hi everyone,
My AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with the USB-C case have a hissing/static noise that only appears when Noise Cancellation or Transparency is on.
What happens:
- The noise is present in Noise Cancellation and Transparency modes and completely gone when set to Off.
- It is intermittent: it comes and goes with no obvious pattern.
- It started about two weeks ago in the right earbud. Now it is happening in the left one.
- It happens identically when connected to my iPhone, iPad and Mac, so I don't think it's a single-device issue.
- AirPods firmware: 9A348.
- iOS on iPhone: 27.0.1.
What I've tried (none of it helped):
- Reset and re-pairing: the noise continues.
- Cleaning the microphone meshes and the speaker mesh under the ear tips: the noise continues.
- Ear Tip Fit Test: the noise continues.
From similar threads, the noise disappearing only in Off mode points to the microphone system used by ANC/Transparency. Since it switched sides and started around when 9A348 rolled out, I'd like to know:
1. Has anyone else with AirPods Pro 2 noticed this after updating to 9A348?
2. Has anyone found a fix?
Thanks!
