One AirPod has no sound

One earbud silent or much quieter than the other is very common. It isn't always a broken speaker — try the checks below before you bring it in.

Check these first

  1. Look at the speaker mesh. Earwax builds up there and muffles the sound — clean gently with a dry soft brush, never liquid.
  2. Check the left/right balance on your iPhone: Settings → Accessibility → Audio & Visual → Balance should be in the middle.
  3. Reset the AirPods: put both in the case, forget the device in Bluetooth settings, then hold the case button until the light flashes and pair again.

Speaker replacement

If one side is still silent, quiet or crackling, the speaker in that earbud can be replaced. We test both sides with you after the repair.

Single-side speaker replacement carries 180 days warranty.

Once an earbud or case has been opened, its sweat and water resistance is not guaranteed. Keep repaired AirPods away from water.
