AirPods Pro are famous for their active noise cancellation (ANC), which allows you to enjoy music or conversations without background noise. But sooner or later, users may encounter the fact that noise cancellation stops working, works worse than before, or even starts to create extraneous sounds. Why this happens, how to fix it and whether repair is possible - we figure it out below. 👇
📉 Signs of a Noise Cancellation Problem
If you notice any of the following symptoms, your noise cancellation system may need to be diagnosed and repaired:
-
🔇 Noise reduction does not turn on
-
🔈 In ANC mode, external noise is amplified
-
📢 There is a hum, crackling or echo in one of the headphones
-
🔁 Switching between "Transparency" and "Noise Reduction" modes has no effect
-
🤯 One earphone works fine, the other one doesn't
🔍 Why does noise cancellation break in AirPods Pro?
The performance of ANC is affected by several components:
-
🎙️ Noise cancelling microphones — the basis of the system
-
🧠 Sound processing chip - is responsible for noise analysis and filtering
-
🔋 Stable battery life
-
🦠 Contamination of external and internal microphones
-
🌊 Moisture exposure (rain, sweat, falling into water)
-
⛔ Mechanical damage to the case
The most common cause is contamination of the microphones or damage after a fall/moisture.
🧪 Diagnostics: what does the technician check?
When contacting the service:
-
📱 Testing the response to switching ANC and "Transparent mode"
-
🎙️ The work of microphones is analyzed under a microscope
-
💻 Tests are carried out using diagnostic equipment
-
🔊 The level of suppression in the left and right earphone is compared
This helps to identify the exact cause and suggest the best recovery method.
🔧 What does noise reduction repair include?
Depending on the cause, repairs may include:
-
✅ Cleaning microphones from sulfur, dust and dirt
-
✅ Replacement of noise-canceling microphones
-
✅ Repair of microphone circuits or boards
-
✅ Soldering of damaged connections
-
✅ Sealing after repairs
❗Important: for high-quality restoration, work under a microscope and the use of original or high-quality components are required.
💰 How much does it cost to repair ANC in AirPods Pro?
Prices depend on the extent of damage:
-
🔧 Cleaning and Maintenance of Microphones — from 500 UAH
-
🎙️ Noise cancellation microphone replacement — from 1000–1500 UAH
-
💥 ANC Complex Repair — from 1500 UAH
In any case, repairs are much cheaper than buying new headphones. And the result is restoration of full functionality.
🛠️ Why you shouldn’t put off repairs?
-
❌ A damaged microphone can affect the quality of sound and calls
-
🔋 Incorrect ANC operation can drain your battery faster
-
🔄 The noise reduction system may cause sensor malfunctions
-
🔊 You can hear background noise even when listening to music
The sooner you contact the service, the higher the chances of restoring the operation without completely replacing the earphone.
