connectivity issues with new firmware for AP2 (lightning version)?

[paultopia]

Has anyone else noticed connectivity issues on the new Airpods Pro 2 firmware? Since mine (v2 but the older version of v2 from the lightning era) updated, I've had a few instances of dropped connectivity which was never a problem before, and also a couple of bizarre squeals coming out of nowhere. Wondering if I'm alone in this...

I've noticed some drops on my MacBook with Ventura, but not on my iPhone, iPads or MacBook Air. Today the "Windows Server" in Ventura crashed as soon as I connected my APP2 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I've had a few issues as well. Regular pops and dropouts. I had mine repaired a few months ago due to pop/cracking but it seems to be there again. The dropouts however seem to have begun since one of the recent updates.

My problem started after the latest FW update, haven’t had any problems before. Hope there’s a fix coming soon.

I noticed lots of static and garbled sound since the new firmware (from the first beta on). They fixed lots of it but there are still a ton of situations where audio stutters or gets garbled due to connectivity. Even got the AirPods replaced and the new units perform just as bad on the new firmware.

Prior firmwares were all pretty good. Now I get garbled audio pretty much daily (a few sec at a time but still annoying).

Yep I'm getting the static/garbled sounds quite often every day now. It only lasts a second or 2 but it's really frustrating. Have submitted a report to Apple so fingers crossed

I think the only thing we can do is file BR and just hang tight. What's weird is since my reply and a few firmware updates later, it almost happens every time I wake my iPad or it's dumping data onto my network. Few secs but pretty consistent. If I keep my Keychron on BT (known to have terrible wireless), it really interferes with them. They just seem to get jostled by any connectivity around them.

I've tried disabling everything on the AirPods and all my testing, nothing. An interesting thing I did notice was if I tilt my head as they garble, they pick up right away. Weird. I disabled the head tilt feature, still same. So definitely has no effect.
