Sadly, I am returning my AirPods Pro 3. The left AirPod is slightly louder than the right. I don’t get this with my Pro 2s. I have ordered a new pair. I am hoping it’s a defective pair. Wish me luck.
Got a tip for us?

I will report back as soon as I receive my new pair. Shipping is now 2-3 weeks out.
I have similar behavior with my pro 2 as described here 
For me it’s about focusing to the voice and mids. It’s off from the Center Point in my head knowing that this sounds weird tho 😁
I have concluded it’s a software issue now that I’ve had it on two pairs manufactured in two different countries.
As the above poster says, the ‘centre’ of the stereo sound is offset to the left in my case.
In mono audio mode in accessibility settings, the problem goes away.
It also goes away when Spatialise Audio is enabled.

Unfortunately, I returned mine as well because the right one kept cutting off phone calls and making scratchy noises. And of all things, my AirPods two Pro fit fine but the three the right one kept falling out as well no matter what your adapter I put on it. Disappointed.
