Got AirPods Pro earlier in the week, initial usage shows that the right one seems to be using more power than the left one ... I've been testing it mostly listening to music and in 1 zoom call, eg battery life difference when I put them back in the case is greater than 5% - is this "normal" for the Pro?
On my regular AirPods I did not observe this behavior ...
I love the Pros, they actually stay in my ears (as oppose to the regular ones) and sound is great

I have noticed at times that one pod seems to use a little more juice than the other. It doesn't happen all the time. I don't know if that kind of behavior is normal (per se) although it hasn't impeded my use or the quality of the playback of the AirProd Pros.

I've certainly seen this behavior on my original AirPods, maybe 2 or 3% difference, just on the Pros it's been a bit higher ... so I'll keep monitoring and if it is continuing I'll contact Apple and exchange if needed or warranted as I am within my 14 day window ... and they are on the latest firmware
