Q: 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.
