The right side of my earpod stopped working.

I've replaced my EarPods 6 times!!!

Every time when I got a new one, after 3 months it stopped working on the left side (only the big raster). I got really frustrated because the sound that comes from and the fit of the EarPods are amazing!

Now, after a year and a half of replacing and much frustration, I just discovered the most simple solution thanks to Shaunjp.

I recently wanted to open the new pair I got with my new phone because my previous ones stopped working.. again.. Then I saw this post about your earwax just entirely blocking the sound and immediately tried out the solution above. It worked! thank you so much! this just saved me 30 Euro's.

Now I have two great working pairs of Earphones.

Thank you so much, punching the holes immediately saved my earbuds.

Works miraculously well thanks a lot

thank you so so much, I thought my EarPods were just bad because I've had this incident twice. You're truly a godsend

I have had the same problem.The reason is earwax getting clogged and settling in the grille.

Just brush it with a toothbrush and it will be all right.

I know this thread is pretty old, but needed to thank you my dude! You've just saved me €30 on a new pair! Life-hackers like yourself are the meaning of life
