Soham Halder
Hearing static or crackling in your AirPods Pro 3: Don’t panic, here are 5 real fixes that’ll get your sound crystal-clear again!
Clean the Ear Tips and Mesh: Dust and earwax are the top culprits. Gently clean the ear tips and speaker mesh with a soft, dry brush for instant improvement.
Reset Your AirPods Pro 3: Sometimes, a quick reset works wonders. Hold the button on the case for 15 seconds until the light flashes amber, then white.
Update Your Firmware: Old firmware can cause connection glitches. Go to Bluetooth settings on your iPhone and make sure your AirPods are fully updated.
Disable Automatic Ear Detection: Static often happens when the sensors misfire. Turn off Automatic Ear Detection in Bluetooth settings to see if the noise disappears.
Check for Bluetooth Interference: Microwaves, Wi-Fi routers, and other Bluetooth devices can interfere; try using your AirPods in areas with fewer crowded signal zones.
Recalibrate with iPhone Audio Settings: Go to your iPhone’s Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Balance and recalibrate the sound to reduce uneven audio or static.
Try Different Noise Control Modes: Switch between Transparency and Noise Cancellation; a software bug may resolve itself once the mode is reset.
If all else fails: your AirPods may need professional attention. Apple often replaces units under warranty for static issues.
