AirPods Pro 1 Sound Shift/Drift after 5B58 Firmware?

[snyp1193]

I have AirPods Pro 1 and I’ve started having this issue after the latest update. I’d be listening to music and pause for something and when I put it back on the voices are suddenly more on the left or right side. (I’m assuming this is the “drifting” everyone is talking about?) I have to disconnect and reconnect the AirPods for it to be fixed. I tried fully resetting the AirPods a few times now too… It’s super annoying and it was working fine on the previous firmware.

Anyone else having this issue on AirPods Pro 1 on 5B58? It happens regardless of Spatial audio on or off.. I also got a replacement on both earbuds a week ago too.

That’s weird cuz YouTubers are saying that this update fixes the drift issue.

Knowing Apple they fixed it for AirPods Pro 2 but “accidentally” introduced it for AirPods Pro 1….

I also submitted a feedback report. I have a call with senior advisor at AppleCare this morning. I am hoping they can raise this issue with their engineers.

I spoke with the advisor and they just suggested another repair/replacement but that wouldn’t do anything since it appears to be firmware related. They made a note on my account that if it doesn’t resolve after the next firmware update then they can proceed with a replacement, even if the warranty has expired….Sigh…I guess there’s not much to be done but wait.
