It is reported that Apple has begun to introduce a tool to Apple retail stores that can conduct preliminary tests on AirPods before full repairs. This tool can determine whether the deterioration of earphone sound quality is a real malfunction or caused by dirt accumulation.
A common problem encountered by users of personal audio equipment is the loss of sound quality or volume over time. Although it is possible that the hardware is malfunctioning, it is also possible that the earphone is affected by dirt and clogging the airway. The feasible solution is to clean it.
The whistleblower choco_bit said on Twitter that Apple will provide a new audio test tool for AirPods, which can quickly find out whether the problem is related to excessive dirt on the earphones or is really malfunctioning.
The shape of the tool is a tray slightly larger than the iPhone, and the iPhone can be placed. The bottom of the tray is a part located near the microphone of the iPhone, designed to place the AirPods in a specific way, aligning the earphone speaker with the iPhone microphone. The test sound played by AirPods will be received by the nearby iPhone microphone, and the possible cause of the sound problem can be determined.
The post on Twitter stated that this tray works similar to the “existing iPhone audio test” and is compatible with AirPods and AirPods Pro.
Although this tool looks very simple in construction, it may be a 3D printed AirPods bracket, but as a non-consumer diagnostic tool, its appearance and structure are not important, and the relatively low production volume also makes it a 3D The printer makes a very suitable choice.
