My Beats By Dre earbuds are not working on one side?

Today, my left side of my Beats earbuds stopped working. It was working fine all day- and then suddenly it stopped. My right earbud works just fine, it's only the left side. None of the wires are exposed, and I have never dropped my phone with my buds plugged in, or wrapped the buds around my iPhone while it was plugged in.

Is there a way to fix this? Or maybe a way to replace them for little to no money? I received these as a gift from my parents, and I think they'll be pretty pissed to hear that it's broken.

You should check the cords, maybe one of them is damaged. Also check your ears just in case… Or maybe the song is mono and only plays in one of the speakers.

That's exactly what happens with massively overhyped and overpriced fashion toys, that's what All Beats are! Just ditch those and get yourself something more decent such as Sennheiser, Shure, Grado, Denon, AKG, Bowers & Wilkins, Bang & Olufsen, Etymotic, Beyerdynamic or Audio-Technica.

Broken cables are a common problem with headphones; this is why I only use throwaway earbuds for everything that leaves the house. Wrapping the cable makes it all the more likely. A little pushing and pulling near the connections may bring some temporary help.

For anything that overpriced it is worth a try to go back to the shop and complain. If you got that thing less than two years ago and your parents still have the receipt, dr dre should it repaired.

  • Why do so many people hate on beats by dre? I paid 350 and the sound quality is amazing on my iphone 4s. People say they are a waste of money, but the people who say that is because they can't afford them. The design of the headphones are great so stop hating on them because you know you test them out every time you go to best buy haha.
  • Why Are My Dre Beats Audio Messed Up? I bought my pair of Dre Beats Solo HD 199.99 yesterday. I plugged them in my phone and noticed that the bass and EVERYTHING was perfect but, the singer i couldn't even make out what he was saying IT WAS So SOFT. So i plug them into my computer and it works fine? It says its Iphone 3GS compatible what's wrong?
  • What is wrong with my Beats by Dre? I just recently purchased a pair of beats by dre solos. They are the ones with the remote on the wire that has a red button between two black buttons. However, when i plug the headphones into my Iphone 4 (NOT 4s), the sound is extrememly muffled and almost unrecognizable. But when i hold down that red button on the remote, it sounds perfect.Am i missing some simple setting on my phone or headphones or are they just broken?
