My ep-630 played fine for a while, but now my right earbud produces a very low volume, making it sound like all the music comes from the left side. The strange thing is that it does play my music, only a lot softer than the other one, so it couldnt be a breach in the cable or anything. (I think.) It doesn't have anything to do with the rubber buds, I checked that. The earbuds are pretty new, i have them 4 months now. anybody had the same problem or some advice?
Here is a tip for people attempting to fix the mesh (which, as it happens, works great when done carefully)
use a set of nail clippers or small tweezers to grab the edge of the mesh and pull the mesh away from the earbuds. If you disconnect it completely, do not get upset. Use the tweezers to carefully scrape both sides of the mesh (try not to be surprised at the gunk that comes off)
Once you scrape them clean, carefully try to re-attach the mesh. if you pulled it off entirely and cant get it back on, you may have to be careful about your earwax buildup on the unit, as it can get deeper inside the earbud now that the mesh isnt protecting the interior. Otherwise, pop the bud's cover back on and enjoy your music!
Ive done this fix on two sets of earbuds since discovering it. One set had what I thought was a non-functional right earbud, but it turned out that the mesh was blocked and interfering with the sound! It was working like new moments later and I was very happy to not have to purchase new ones.
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.
I also did the same after cleaning through needle ..it works fine again giving a very good loudness..thanks
Thanks a lot for these solutions, saved me from buying a new set of ear phones.
An alternate way to fix this if you are worried about damaging it using tweezers etc, Stick a good quality tape or a sticker on the mesh and then pull it off, it will get fixed!However it'll work out only if the mesh is clean and isn't waxy, else the tape wont stick.
I had this same problem, too. Same side and everything. Seems to me like the company made a major flaw design. I did the thing with the knife, and the mesh completely collapsed, but the sound is back to normal. Now, how do I keep earwax out? lol
Hi lols...i 2 facing the same prob..hope this is a manifacturing or design bug which is irritating all of us.. lemme try the fix that our frnds have mentioned above.. Thanks in advance..

I have this very same problem. I have had the headphones for four months now, and two days ago the right speaker started playing very softly. I opened up the casing but everything is still soldered and the wires are not broken.
