Left earbud practically silent

[Siko Couvreur]

So i've had my galaxy bud 2 for about a year and a half now and i've recently started to notice how my left earbud is sometimes practically silent. Generally speaking it is quieter but not by an unbearable amount, but occasionally it just makes next to no sound (i have to put my volume to max to hear anything and the volume balance makes it sound horrible).

I'm almost certain it has to do with it not registering the fact that it is in my ear because readjusting it sometimes fixes it. I also think this is why my ANC and ambient sound modes have an afwull ring to them.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked it for dirt build-up? Believe it or not, this can make a big difference. Have you also checked L and R balance in settings?

Really appreciate the reply, but sadly i have checked both. I have throughly cleaned both earbuds with no effect and the L/R balance proves even more that there is something very wrong.

With a 50/50 balance i have to but my volume to max to even hear anything (and it's sub par quality) and with full L balance i can barely hear anything at even 70% volume (fyi, the right one works perfectly fine.

Now this also isn't always the case, while writing this reply it started making sound at the proper volume, but i know it will happen again because this isn't the first time.

Still, big thanks for taking the time to reply
