So as some may know, my Airpods Pro was showing some signs of a faulty or weak battery.

I compared mine (approx. 3 week old Airpods Pro) to my friends 1 week old Airpods Pro.

Played the same playlist from spotify for 1 hour and 15 minutes with both cases and airpods pro at 100% battery.

My Airpods Pro:
78% battery life, 78% for L and 78% for R.
Charging the Airpods Pro: 78% to 100% battery took 31 minutes to complete the charge and the case went from 100% to 95%.

My friends Airpods Pro:
81% battery life, 81% for L and 81% for R.
Charging the Airpods Pro: 80% to 100% battery took 26 minutes to complete the charge and the case went from 100% to 98%.

***ALSO***

I noticed with my friends Airpods Pro, that when I was listening to music in the transparency mode at medium volume, I could hear a very annoying crackling noise. I know this is a known issue but is it only during this setting or at any setting? because with the noise cancelation on, the crackling went away or when the volume was at the highest point.
