Only hearing sound out of the right earbud...

I haven't had any problems with this mp3 until one day the left earbud just gave out on me. The weird thing is that it plays through it when the headphone is halfway in but when I push it all the way in it goes out again. And sometimes when I rotate the headphone it comes and goes. I know its not the headphones becuase they work fine on my CD player, so I'm guessing its the headphone jack. Any help is appricieated.

    I have that same problem. But when I reboot the player, it goes away. After about 3 or 4 songs the problem comes back, only sound comes out or the right earbud.

The solder joint for the left channel has probably come unstuck from the pcb.

How do I pair iHip wireless earbuds?

You CAN pair your iHip wireless, Bluetooth earbuds. The trick is not to take the third step as is. This is the second day I tried to pair these so I hear sound out of both the buds. Watched videos, read online fixes, etc. The first step, to turn them each on individually until you hear 'connected' is fine. The second step, to only hold the on/off button of ONE of the buds, is good also. The third step, to 'double click ONE until it connects to the other' is where things don't work. You have to click multiple times until it tells you it has connected to the other bud. Then go to your BT device, turn it on, and you will only see ONE Soundprod connection instead of two. After that, full stereo sound from the buds sounds great! Hope this helps.

Volume in left earbud is suddenly very low

just do the volume the equalization. Once the Bluetooth is on just click the volume (+) until you hear a beep then click volume (-) until you hear a beep, this should equalize your volume. and give you equal sound from both of you earbud.

My ipod touch speakers are making a weird buzzing sound and when i plug in headphones it comes out of the left earbud only how could i fix this problem myself?

There is most likely some sort of debris inside of the headphone jack leading to that problem. The speakers sound like they are blown. Try holding the home button for 10 seconds, followed by holding the lock button for 10 seconds, put it into DMU mode and restore it completely. If this does not fix it, check with Apple and see if there is a warranty still left on it.

Sony MDR-NC11 Left Earbud has no sound

They should come apart right where the metal meets the plastic, just below the buds themselves - be careful, one set like that I took apart were actually surface-mounted to the housing, there weren't any leads to repair...

My left earbuds on my JVC gummy earphones went out.

I have this problem all the time with my JVC earbuds. This may sound a little gross but it will work. I put the ear phone in my mouth and **** on the end of it pretty hard. What I have found is that sweat or even wax will plug the little hole and prevent the sound from coming out.

Sound on only one side

This is a hardware problem that happens every so often on mp3 players regardless of manufacturer. Unfortunately, the whole player will have to be replaced, b/c there is no repair svc, and no headphone jack components for sale.

Bose in-ear headphones sounds cuts in and out

Well, here's a temporary fix until you guys can get new ones. Pull the plastic stopper about halfway up the phones. Then loop the bottom of the entire headphones through the circle that the plastic stoppers create. When you have a tiny loop, pull the upper stopper down and tighten it. People said that they needed to angle the cable in a certain way, right? Well, this fixed mine for now. Just keep it in that position until you can get a replacement or they come up with a permanent fix.
