I just bought my max’s this summer. Recently, when I have called people while wearing them, they have complained that I sound muffled or like I’m really far away. Is there a way to troubleshoot this? It’s very inconvenient.

We're trying to isolate this issue further and see if it happens only during calls or when you play a recording of your voice as well.
To get started, let's make sure your AirPods are running the latest firnware:
