Left side of JBL Headphones doesnt work/works again

Hi everyone, my JBL Bluetooth headphones' left side stopped working suddenly. I purchased these 3 months back. Havent dropped them, bent them, etc.

The left side stopped working but then started working again if I gave the headphones a slight tap on the left side of the bridge/ear cup. However, since a few days this solution stopped working too. The other day I was looking for solutions on the internet and a YouTube video had like real bad audio so I had to turn the volume all the way up and VOILA! The left side works again. Now this is happening everytime. The problem exists in both wired/wireless(Bluetooth) modes.

  1. The left side doesn't work initially
  2. I maximize the volume on any loud song.
  3. Left side starts working again albeit a bit slower than the right one.
  4. Repeat 1-2-3
  5. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be and how can it be fixed? Can I do it on my own? I can't really afford to buy new ones so will have to do away with trying to fix these ones. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You look to be in a bad spot, it’s probably a broken connector somewhere inside that’s connecting then disconnecting. Maybe if you know how to solder you can open it up like How do I open it up? and see if anything is obviously broken.

I have been having the same problem with my JBL live headphones. Could you tell me what the problem was?

Mine had a loose circuit board. It was easy to fix with a couple of drops of super glue. Just like in this video: https://youtu.be/iTHJBDAdRos

The wire of that left driver is really prone to breakage because its too thin..
