I wipe mine every time after use and keep my ears clean and the bass sounds good. Not overpowering like the Beats but balanced.
The APP deliver accurate bass. If you want overblown, distorted bass, you'll be disappointed.
That could almost be a parody of an Apple fan. Almost.
Your hearing isn't slipping. It's more that most (predictably younger) people equate quantity of bass to quality - and th APP's are light on bass, though they are capable of rendering it.
It's not just AirPods. A lot of people on here and in the real world complain about too much bass in Beats, for example. I think it's perfectly fine. Who knows?
Just got two replacement AirPod Pros as the mics failed and it is like night and day. The bass is soo much richer and stands up against the mid and high frequencies. I don’t know if it helps I didn’t put my foam ear tips in and used the ones I came with but I don’t think so as I did that when I first got then. It also says that they are good seals which it never did.
But that’s what I wrote, I didn’t put my foam tips on the new ones. Kept the OEM ones on
The foam ones were put on because the original ones lacked bass. The foam ones gave much better bass response and yes I did put the OEMs back on the old ones and they weren’t as good as the new ones.
I haven’t used my old 1st gen AirPods in a long time until today and compared to my Pro, the bass on the 1st gen is miles ahead. Each has their advantages I guess. I also like that u can’t feel the normal AirPods. I kept checking to make sure they r still in my ears lol almost wonder why I bought the Pro now (I know why, the battery was slowly turning to crap)
More proof of the hefty bass the Pro’s are capable of...
Resetting my APP fixed my bass issues and also had distortion in the right one.
