RIght earbud stopped producing sound!

I have a pair of Sony MDR-EX32 earbuds, which worked great the first few months I had them. Now, all of a sudden, the right earbud won't produce ANY sound! I have tried the earbuds with several different audio jacks (i.e. iPod, Creative MP3 player, laptop, iMac computer) all with the same results. What's wrong with the headphones? Is there anyway I can fix it? If not, will Sony replace them?

SOURCE: right earbud plays really soft.

I found the problem with the right earphone. The meshing in front of the speaker cone which protects it from damage or earwax has been pushed in. The meshing and the cone were coming into contact and muffling the speaker.

I took a knife blade and pushed in on the edge of the meshing, which pushed the center of the meshing back out. So I still have a dent in my earphone, but it plays loudly again.

SOURCE: Sony MDR-NC11 Left Earbud has no sound

They should come apart right where the metal meets the plastic, just below the buds themselves - be careful, one set like that I took apart were actually surface-mounted to the housing, there weren't any leads to repair...

SOURCE: left earbud problems

Well, I had the same problem with the right earbud. Luckily I was under warranty with Target, so they told me to contact Bose. I did and they had me send in the headphones (to make sure I waas telling the truth) and about 2 weeks later I got my earbuds back. Their customer service is excellent, so that's what I would reccomend

How do I pair. jBL120 earbuds to LG Pad IV 8.0?

be sure bluetooth is on. also turn both headphones off. once headphones are off, start scanning for bluetooth devices. once scanning, hold the power button down on both earbuds for ten seconds or until theyre both flashing red and blue. your device should then notify you about pairing.

One earbud stops working

-Have you try this headphone plug to other device to find out it does the same thing or not.
-If it work with other then that meant your device's jack is worn out.

Good luck

Skullcandy earbuds one earbud not working

It is likely that your right stereo channel has either been severed somehow or there is a severe short in one of the cables. What you can try to do to test this theory is first turn on your music. Then wiggle the cable at the very base of the right earbud. If nothing happens wiggle the cord right where it connects to the stereo jack. If still nothing happens run your fingers along the right earbud audio cable bending and twisting it. If at any point you hear music again then you likely have a short. If it is near the earbud then it is going to be difficult to fix since these earbudfs have a large gauard. If the short is at the stereo jack then the fix is simple. A standard 1/8" stereo jack can be purchased from any electronics or audio store. You can then fairly easily seperate teh old stereo jack and solder this new one in place. Search the internet for tutorials on how to do this if need be. Even if you do not get any kind of sound when wiggling it at the base of the jack this is the most likely culprit since this is where most of the stress on the headphones occur. Be wary though, if you do attempt a stereo jack repair you will void whatever kind of warranty your earbuds may have so check before you try. But, in teh end you may end up saving a 60-100 dollar set of earbuds for 5-8 dollars. Hope this helped.
