Worked instantly for me. People were having a hard time hearing me over phone calls mentioning I sounded quiet and muffled. I tested this in the voice memos app and would have to speak very loud to get it to pick up my voice. It seems that no matter how clean you keep the bottom, over time that paper film behind the grill will become an issue. Thanks for the tip!

Works! I had two pair of AirPods: 1 pair that the mic stopped working after having for a year and a 2nd pair that the mic stopped working after getting water in them. All I could do with them was listen to music and watch videos. After doing this to both pairs, I can now use them to talk on the phone again. Tested it out on voice memos and the sound picks up just as it did when I first got them. Yes, this will cause minor damage to your AirPods (ex. some mesh will come out) but I’d rather deal with that than pay hundred plus dollars on a new pair. For the time being, this will do! Thank you for this video!!

This worked for me. I had an issue where the microphone didn't pick up the sound when I started talking. So it worked, but with a few second delay. This looks really wrong, I was sceptic about it but went with it since I was out of ideas. Now the microphone works perfectly. Still a bit concerned about the protection, but hey... At least they'll work for a while more :D

To those who have tried resetting your phone and headset and still have a problem on your microphone when on a call. This is the perfect solution. It works perfectly. You might be worried because the protection on your mic is lost so better do it on just ONE earphone. 🤪 Lol Atleast if it will cause damage you still got the spare one. I might try remove the other peace once I am sure it no effect on the performance.

When I removed the grill, the airpods did not work completely. When I put it in the box, it seemed to have a charge, but when I took it out, it suddenly discharged. Solution: Since you cannot fully remove the grille, it will be stuck to the sides. And this is most likely short-circuiting your airpods. After cleaning the edges, the airpod worked again. But I guess the microphone was broken because I was a bit of a novice.

I’ just saying they are taking our hard earned money and then sell us products that are beautiful (can’t argue with that) but waaaay overpriced for the quality we are paying for. For example, you cant clean the microphone without ruining the mesh, and when you ruin the mesh more dust will stick there because the mesh is like glue and when you take it off then there is plastic thing that is revolutionary 😂. Its 0.000000000000001 cent worth of revolution. And by the way, it fixed the problem for a while. Im loosing the sound even after this “fix”. Heard that only 2nd gen airpods are having this type of problem.
