I wrote this earlier. I had issues with volume not getting high enough. Sometimes I noticed low volume upon intial connection to the phone, and I had to diconnect and reconnect to get to normal volume level. If even after this the volume still isn't loud enough, get your hearing checked for hearing loss.
There has been a firmware update, and it seems only though Apple products firmware gets automatically updated. There is no manual way to update firmware. I was unfortunately on an Android device.
I still cannot understand why people with Android devices buy AirPods. If you have both Android and iPhone, better just use AirPods with your iPhone. But if you just have Android device, what’s the meaning of buying AirPods? Nowadays there are many equally high quality TW earbuds that work perfectly on Android devices. AirPods are made for the iPhone and even sounding best only with Apple Music. I mean it’s logical since it is an Apple product, with a proprietary chip, it is made to operate at its best within the Apple ecosystem. The absence of delay, the distance from the source device, the sound quality, the actual flawless connection, it’s all happening at its highest only on Apple’s own products. Even just AAC, it cannot get the same audio quality on Android, as it is well known! I guess it would be pretty obvious for an Android user that they can never get the best quality out of the AirPods. They can get much better results with some Samsung buds, or Google, Sennheiser etc!
