I hace discovered it happens if i put the microphone in left ome always.

have had some intermittent issues, but forgetting device and repairing seems to at least temporarily fixed the issue. Also having issues when connected to a Surface Pro. Audio is fine, then at some point it will turn to static and sound like the audio is coming out of a tin can. Disconnect and reconnecting fixed that as well, but it has happened multiple times.
Sometimes when my Pro 2 first connects, I'll immediately get ANC, then a second or two later the ANC turns off, the connection is lost, a couple seconds later I hear the connection bong, the ANC turns back on, and all is good. Anyone else seeing this?
Ive noticed tonight that video stops playing and it seems ANC cuts off on my left AirPod. I then realised it was actually a bit loose in my left ear, compared to the right. Im guessing the skin detection system thinks its come out and is causing the video to stop playing, and because its slightly out I can hear thew outside world.
I'm sending them back and will get a replacement (from Amazon). ill live with it for now the new pair do the same.

I suspected it could be the skin-sensing, but it's not that. At least not with mine. When they go to/from with skin-sensing it's a much softer stop/start. A typically intended one.
Yes!!!! I’ve had the same issues with my new pair of pro 2! I have an iPhone 13 Pro, and I’ve restored the AirPods numerous times, and they seem to still do it. I’ve tried all the troubleshooting, and it still hasn’t resolved. It doesn’t give me much hope. Especially since I got the original pros when they came out, and has issues with them and had to have a bud replaced by apple. Just to have the same issue with the new bid they sent. I ended up returning those. And I might just do the same with the pro 2 pair. 😩
Mine seem to be working fine since I unpaired and repaired however I notice there is now no connection chime when I put them in my ears. Anybody else noticing this? Weird.
iphone 13 Pro Max, IOS 16 newest update 16.02 and AirPods Pro2 at newest firmware 5A377. I'm having similar issues too. One bud may cut out, or sound will just stop while listening to music even though they show as connected. I also get occasional loud crackling at times while talking on the phone or the person on the other end suddenly can't hear me. Attempted return on Amazon but they require a factory reset first so I just did that. I do get the chyme since the factory reset but it takes longer than before. Will see how it goes. It's all very random.
Yes. I wrote last night my experience and at the end (after reading your message) I mentioned that after the factory reset I noticed the chyme took several seconds but it did occur. This morning I put them on and no chyme. Same as you're reporting.
I don't rush to every update. I figure about a week after 16.1 is issued, if all works well, then I'll take the plunge. With APP2, I don't think that they will update with a iOS device on pre-16.
From my understanding from Apple, the updates are rolled out randomly in increments automatically, saying it will automatically prompt for update as soon as the airpods connect to your phone or Mac. I pre-ordered mine and I think it was the first day i received them that it prompted to update. I'm seeing a lot of people on the previous version. I don't know if they haven't been prompted yet, denied it, or maybe Apple has pulled it due to these issues or if you just have to wait until it gets to you? I don't believe they have the option to manually update until your device detects that the update is available.
Ive never seen a prompt to update AirPods, but mine updated within 30mins of me getting them.
So disappointed with the Pros 2 so far. They regularly will not connect to my 2018 Intel MBP, even after forcefully disconnecting them from my phone so they're not connected to anything. The only way to get them to reconnect seems to be a reset and re-pairing, making sure the MacBook is the first one to register them. And that will only work once. Once they've been connected to the phone (usually through no action of mine, just the iPhone thinking it knows best where I want audio), they won't reconnect to the MacBook.
And even if they do connect, they regularly get disconnected for no apparent reason. 5A377 firmware.

Agreed. I don't remember if I was actually prompted to update or if I just watched it update. The fact that someone said they don't update right away made me think that maybe they had been prompted and denied it That's why I thought maybe I was prompted but I do believe they just notified me it was updating and I had no say in it. Not 100% certain though.
Very unhappy with the random disconnects. Additionally, I was out in the yard listening to music and suddenly I was hearing audio from the iPad my wife was using in the family room, roughly 25 yards away. This upgrade so far has been an extreme disappointment.
iPhone 13 Mini running iOS 16 has disconnects as does my Mac Studio running Ventura. Zoom on iPad has had microphone issues with the AirPods Pro Gen 2. AirPods 3 work fine.
Same here with Youtube. After a few seconds or minutes the audio sounds like a spatial effect and left/right channel seem to play mono with a little time delay so it sounds a like an echo. Youtube usually stops short after and when I restart it, it plays in time laps without sound. A few seconds more and either the app freezes (iPhone/iPad) or Youtube in Safari stops (MacBook). After restart/reload the video is played normal, usually for a longer time.
Another user suggested turning special audio to fixed and that may have solved it for me but I’ll have to pay more attention if it pops up again.
Hopefully this is addressed soon among other little bugs with the AirPods. I still also get random disconnects for example
Edit: spacial* audio
