Chosen Solution
I noticed my left bud stopped working 2-3 days ago and I couldn’t figure out why, until someone told me to hold down the b button. I realized I couldn’t even press the b button on my left earbud. I’m not sure how to fix this, and if this is a simple hardware problem of fixing the button, or a deeper issue? any suggestions?
After having read some stuff on those earphones, this happens quite a lot. Someone mensioned it happened to them during flights, which make me think it’s a contraction-expansion issue. If the materials used in the device are not heat resistant, even the repetitive putting it in and out if your ear can make them rigid in the long run. Also, keep in mind that celebrity-produced products are, in general, overpriced crap. No offence, i get the appeal. However, you might be better off with a new pair of earphones, as hardware repair on such small devices is difficult and often, not cost-efficient.
I been having the same exact issue and it only happens to the left ear bud. I just flew to New York and I was watching quite a few movies omw there. But soon as I got off the plane the left button of the ear bud was jammed. And this is the second time it happened to me. I immediately rested my ear phones but it didn’t work. So then I just ended up tapping the case with my earbuds inside of it on knee a few times and the button work!!! I think the problem is caused by pressure in the plane. Not sure
