Apple EarPods: Right headphone not working

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 23:41:40 -0700

My right headphone has stopped working. It doesn't play sound but I think it's some kinde of trouble with the cable because when I bend it right over the remote the sound comes back.

Has someone experienced the same problem and have any good advice?

AirPods Pro: Airpod Pro Left Earbud Not Connecting to Charging Case

Sun, 28 Jun 2026 23:29:08 -0700

for a while now, I realised how my left earbuds have a really hard time connecting properly to the charging case. I only noticed after continuously picking up my aipods and find out the left one is empty.

I did contact apple customer service once and they suggested to bring it to an apple repair store. The only available near me happened to be an authorised store and not an actual apple store. I did book a repair and they took it in and made me come back after 1h, only to then tell me there’s nothing they can do?

They did however, clean and reset my airpods, which did not solve my problem.

Now before I tried contacting apple again, and maybe try and book a repair at an actual apple store, I thought I see if anyone had the same issue and maybe has a solution.

I bought mine in January, so I still have the 1 year apple warranty.

Note: I also noticed how sometimes my devices show different % of charge the earbuds have left. They sometimes seem to not update frequently… not sure if that has to do with the problem, but I’ve seen people have that before.

AirPods: Charging Airpods without the charging case.

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 17:53:48 -0700

Hi,

Ive lost the charging case for my airpods, is there an alternative way i can charge the airpods?

Maybe by applying the correct voltage to the power connections on the bottom of each airpod?

I do plan on getting placement charging cradle but its not possible for me at the moment.

Thanks.

AirPods: Why is my Airpod case not turning on or connecting to my phone?

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 13:38:43 -0700

I got Airpods in early March and they've been working and feeling great. I dampened them with a moist towelette which might be the problem. I charged them overnight, but it the morning when I opened the case the small light did not light up green, orange, or white and my phone did not connect to them automatically or manually. It may be a charger cord problem. The outlet was doing well with other devices.

AirPods: Right AirPod dying quicker than the left

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 09:24:06 -0700

So I have Gen 1 AirPods with the 2nd Gen Wireless Charging Case. I’ve noticed that my right AirPod is actually dying quicker. I charge them both to 100% and use them at the same time. My mic for them is set to automatic, not on specific side. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks!

My right AirPod doesn’t work again and I can’t see the icon on my widget too, but the left AirPod works perfectly fine. Whenever I put the right AirPod in the charging case the green light starts blinking.

AirPods Pro: Right AirPod pro dying quicker than Left AirPod pro

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 08:55:07 -0700

I’ve been charging both of my headphones simultaneously, but for some reason my right headphone keeps dying. It makes the sound of low battery but when I check it out, it’s at 45%, then it dies. What could this possibly be? It only lets me listen to music for about an hour, then the right headphone shuts off. I make sure they are fully charged at 100% every time.

AirPods Pro 2: Screeching Noise Presumably From the Noise Cancelling

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 07:36:56 -0700

The noise is only happening in the left earbud, it also affects the volume level making it distorted and loud. I assume it is caused by them falling out of my ears at work.

Apple EarPods: Apple Earpod Pin Out.

Thu, 11 Jul 2019 13:01:17 -0700

Tip - Left - Green

Ring1 - Right - Red

Ring2 - Ground - Green/Gold & Red/Gold & Red/Green*

Ring3 - Mic - Gold*

There's a wire that has red and green strands wrapped around gold strands. Separate them. The red/green is ground. The gold is for the microphone.

(By gold, I mean the color of the insulation, not the metal.)

iPod In-Ear Headphones: Internal wire pulled out, 1 channel dead.

Sun, 25 Mar 2012 15:55:16 -0700

My headphone's left channel was dead so i opened up the lead end (the one which goes to the iPod) of the headphone and found a misplaced green wire. the wire seems to be a bundle of thin, laminated filaments and silk. Please see the image:

http://www.4shared.com/file/193014786/7b...

The wire should be at the encircled area (according to me). But it doesnt seem that it was soldered there. Rather it looks like it was pressed and held there by the string. So my questions:

1) Should it be soldered over there(i mean can the wire be soldered)

2) exactly what part of the wire is a conductor? i tried brushing and pressing it against the lead but i wasn't able to get any sound.

thanks.
