Why Isn’t My AirPods Noise Cancellation Working?
Asked by

I'm having trouble with my AirPods—the noise cancellation feature isn't activating, and I keep getting an error telling me to 'put both AirPods in for noise cancellation.' Additionally, the 'Find My' feature isn't working with them either. I recently acquired these AirPods as 'refurbished' and even replaced the right one at the Apple store, where I also paired them. It seems like the right one is the issue since it doesn't switch to transparency mode like the left one does when I put it in, and I only hear the activation sound when I have the left AirPod in. Does anyone know what could be causing these issues?

Yeah, AirPods can totally be a pain after a refurb. I faced a similar issue once. I ended up using Krisp Meeting Assistant as a workaround for calls. It won’t fix the hardware, but it really cleaned up the mic input for me during calls when the audio got funky.

Why are you using 'refurbished' in quotes? Did you get them from a certified seller? Apple usually doesn't sell individual earbuds unless there's a story behind the serial number. If your original pair was a counterfeit, that could be why the new one isn't syncing properly with the left one!

CuriousCat42: I meant refurbished as in cleaned up! My mom said she bought the right one directly from Apple, but that’s all the info I have.
