Wind noise outside

[bhigh8]

I got a brand new pair of AirPods Pro 2 a few months ago and immediately as I wore them outside the wind would blow through the grill or speakers on the AirPods. No matter what mode I’m in it sounds horrible and it’s very hard to hear. I have reset them multiple times and I have even sent them to Apple and they said they could not replicate and sent them right back. I have the pro ones and they do not do this at all. Any help or solutions?

I get this too - and the AirPods seal/fitment test always passes :S

I think I understand what you're talking about. If you mean a windy like noise when in wind, then I do. I'd just learned to live with it, but with the latest firmware update and iOS update it seems a lot better on my Pro 2s. Still noticeable but far, far less so far. If you've already tried that then I suppose the only option is to turn off the modes. As in just earbuds when in windy conditions. I think this is a earbud problem in general though because my wired ones are the same way. If I misunderstood what you meant, then please explain more.

Wind is the enemy of noise cancellation. Remember that there is a microphone on the outside of your AirPods that listens for ambient sounds so it can produce an inverse sound wave to cancel that noise out. It can not reduce the sound of the wind.

For me, I get this with ANC off.
