Hey everyone. Has anyone noticed an pretty pronounced imbalance in the noise cancellation? Both have been the right ear for me. I even returned the first pair, got a second, but it's still pretty noticeable. (base firmware and newest firmware, same problem.

Before anyone asks about seals... or ear issues, those are not factors here. Bit of an audiophile with headphones and additionally I did not have this problem on gen 1.

Edit: I've also noticed that when I"m taking a call, the noise cancellation basically completely cuts out on the right ear bud.
 
Me2 but on the left ear, even with the latest firmware. Haven't found a solution yet.
 
No way ... resetting, cleaning, swapping eartips, checking firmware, googling a half day, the noise cancellation on my left ear is still buggy and unstable. I'll open a case and request an exchange (the second) after Christmas holidays.
 
I’ve also noticed this at times. It’s sort of…disorienting when it happens. Seems like it happens more on phone calls for some reason.
