Troubleshooting

One side is dead, quiet or uneven

Most people are fixed in the first three steps.

Essential Open Earbuds

  1. Swap ears. Left earbud in your right ear, right in your left.
    • Stays in the same ear → it's fit or wax. Adjust the fit.
    • Follows the same earbud → keep going.
  2. Check your balance setting. A slider off center sounds exactly like a broken side.
    • iPhone: Settings → Accessibility → Audio & Visual
    • Android: Settings → Accessibility → Audio adjustment
  3. Wipe the speaker with a dry cloth.
  4. Charge both fully.
  5. Reset them. See Reset your Raycon.
  6. Try a second device. Still quiet on a laptop means the earbud has failed.

Crackling? Same steps. Try a downloaded song instead of a stream first.
