Sound only coming from one earbud – what do I do?

Updated

If your earbuds decide to go solo and only play sound from one side, don't worry – you haven't received half a stereo. 😎

Most often, it's a minor connection or settings issue:

• Check that your earbuds are properly connected to your device.

• Turn Bluetooth off and on again.

• Try resetting your earbuds – often a quick reset will get sound flowing into both ears.

If you're using NL25 earbuds, you might be experiencing the so-called Van Gogh mode 🎨 – where one earbud decides to pursue its own artistic path and goes silent. The solution is simple: re-pair the earbuds, and both will spring back to life.

If the problem persists despite resetting and re-pairing, please contact our customer service at info@valco.fi. Our minions will check the situation and let you know if the device needs servicing or if there's a little trick to get the sound back into both earbuds.

In short: check connections and Bluetooth, try resetting, NL25 users re-pair, and if one side still won't play, send us a message – we'll make sure you get the full stereo experience! 🎧🔊
