Ever since upgrading to iOS 13.6 (have also tried downgrading to iOS 13.5.1 too but nothing) my airpods calling audio doesn't route through. I have my airpods on and listening to music or whatever, and I get a phone call. The airpods will ring with the ringer but when I pick up the call from my iPhone screen, the audio goes to the earpiece. From then I'd have to reroute the call back by going to the bluetooth menu and reconnecting it. It gets really annoying when calls like Facetime video comes through.

If I pick up the call by clicking on the airpods, then the call with go through the airpods. This is happening on both my airpods 2 and airpods pro. I've tried restoring my iPhone and starting fresh (i.e. not restoring from backup) but still getting the same issue. Anyone having similar issues or is this just some new airpods behaviour?
 
I am still having issues with this, and for instance if I initiate a call on my iPhone (w. iOS 14), even-though I using my AirPod Pros, there is no sound anywhere, until I change sound to for instance Speaker, and then back to AirPods. Then finally it works.

Something is obviously wrong with the BT, or AirPod connection...
 
I find the volume level to be extremely low wen calling, also caller can hardly hear me. I've tried recallibrating volume level using both airpods. Audio settings are off, no equalizer or autolevel.
When using keypad on iPhone (11, iOS14.0.1 / AirPods A2031 fw 3A283) to dial a number, i can only hear the dailing tone if volume is set to 100%. Even when before the music (Spotify, netradio etc) was loud at 70%. Tried calling via dialpad on the Watch, but that it so loud, i can't tell if it is the watch or the airpod producing the sounds. Calling, which is where i mainly use them for, never worked as advertised.... only got them last month.
