New airpods 5 having heavy static noise while using ANC and transparency mode. With the listening mode on off everything is fine. I’ve heard this is a common issue with the airpods 5. Should I return them or is there a solution coming. Very dissatisfied.
Heavy static in ANC or Transparency mode isn’t something I’d consider normal, especially on a new pair. Those modes rely on the AirPods’ microphones, so the fact that the noise disappears when Listening Mode is Off is worth noting.
I’d first make sure your iPhone and AirPods are up to date, then reset the AirPods and pair them again. Apple’s reset instructions for AirPods 5 are here: How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support
If the static is still there after that, I wouldn’t wait for a possible software fix that Apple hasn’t announced. Since they’re new, I’d exchange or return them while you’re still within the return period.

Bitte gib sie - falls direkt bei Apple gekauft- innerhalb der 14 Tage Frist zurück.
Neue AP 5 müssen funktionieren ohne Wenn und Aber und das von Anfang an.
Hi Patrick000,
Wichtig zu wissen, ANC und Transparenzmodus erfordern ein gewisses Grundrauschen, das ist vollkommen normal.
Es scheint dich ja so sehr zu stören, dass hier einen Thread aufmachst, jetzt stellst du in Frage, ob du die AirPods umtauschen solltest. Am Ende entscheidest du, wenn mich etwas stört, tausche ich es aus.
LG

Thank you for the response, both are up to date, tried resetting the airpods multiple times, same story. I guess I will continue with the return. Thank you!
Do you think is worth to get a replacement pair? I just think that they will have the same problem, i’ve heard it from multiple people.
