My Apple EarPods recently had the sound go quieter on them. The right side, main mesh part has the least amount of sound but the other places are loosing it too. I take good care of my EarPods, and the only thing that could have contributed to this problem was that they were dangling as I was walking but only for a few seconds. Instead of having my volume on my iPod touch and iPad around 2-3, I now have to have it at 5-6 to achieve the sound volume I need. I could be loosing hearing because I don't have very good ears, but I'm only 13.
