Do you think this is a hardware or a software problem? I have these headphones myself, and I really like them. This sounds awful. I had to do a factory reset on them recently because they stopped connecting to one of my devices.

I have a similar issue with my airpod pros. I believe it is a microphone issue, especially since they work in non-noise cancelling mode just fine.

Same, I have airpod pro 2nd gens and if I lay down on a pillow a certain way I get a very loud squeal.

Definitely hardware, initially the problem was occasional but now happens every time. There are microphones inside the earcup (near the driver) that I believe are the issue
