AirPods Pro 2nd sound distortion issue with iOS 18

[Lk52461]

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone else has noticed a sound distortion issue on iOS 18.1 to 18.2 when using the AirPods Pro 2nd generation. The sound will distort and become robotic, and then it will eventually cut out. Sometimes, it will resolve itself after 1-2 minutes, while other times, disconnecting and reconnecting the AirPods seems to fix the issue until it happens again.

Had that happen once. I had attributed it to something glitching the stream from the local radio station I was listening to, but maybe not. Could have been a (very) intermittent bug in iOS or AirPod firmware.

This has happened to me when I use my 2nd Gen Pros with TV.

Switching to tv speakers and right back usually fixes it. Haven't really noticed it on my phone though.
