With regard to the crackling in one ear, this is a common problem with these cans. On my set, I can avoid the crackling by turning off noise canceling.
The trick is, you can use the app to set “transparency mode” to its most mild setting, which still cancels some noise, but completely avoids the crackling.
It’s not perfect, but it’s allowed me to keep using my cans which otherwise seemed completely busted.
And I disagree with the others in the thread, if you want to upgrade and use Apple products, go with the AirPods Max, especially if you can get some on sale 😄
