JBL Synchros E40BT: The Left side of my headphone is not working

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 10:39:03 -0700

Hello,

The left side of my headphone is not working now. I charged it fully but no use. I tried connecting it with the cable but still no use. I've no idea what to do as it's out of warranty and JBL is telling me to pay 75% of the MRP. Any solution guys?

Appreciate your assistance

Regards,

Josh

Kingston HyperX Cloud II: Hyper x cloud 2 jack diagram problem

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 03:50:29 -0700

I have been using my HyperX Cloud 2 for several weeks now. However, a few days ago, the cable got stuck, bent and the tip of the 3.5mm TRRS headphone jack split in two.

I have ordered a replacement 3.5mm TRRS jack, but haven't yet figured out the correct connections to solder on the jack.

Could anyone offer help in finding these and possibly give some advice on the soldering?

Kind regards

CABLE COLOR

Mic color: Red and gold

Speaker color: GREEN, BLUE, RED AND GREEN

Microsoft Surface Headphones: Top band snapped in half

Tue, 17 Dec 2024 16:20:38 -0700

It was during a normal usage and no brute force/abuse was applied. Just took it off my head. I guess it was 3 degrees Celsius outside and this is just plastics, so maybe that’s why it broke.

Anyway, could you please offer some advice on how best to repair these.

Thank you.

T004: Why are my wireless headphones not charging?

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 08:11:06 -0700

I have G-Cord AYM T004 and they are flashing red and blue slowly, which I think means it needs to charge, but I had them charging overnight and their normal charging time is 3 hours, they just aren't charging.

Bose QuietComfort 35: Left speaker only working intermittently, crackling noise with ANC

Sat, 18 Jan 2025 14:36:20 -0700

Hello good repair-inclined folks,

Recently, my Bose QC35 headphones have developed an annoying fault. At first, I noticed a crackling sound in the left speaker, which is motion-sensitive and linked to active noise cancelling (no ANC, no crackling). Later that day the left speaker kept dropping out.

Has anyone dealt with this? Is the driver shot? Any repair advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

AirPods Pro 2: Screeching Noise Presumably From the Noise Cancelling

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 07:36:56 -0700

The noise is only happening in the left earbud, it also affects the volume level making it distorted and loud. I assume it is caused by them falling out of my ears at work.

Beats Solo HD: Using headphones in cold weather causes them to shutdown completely.

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 17:50:10 -0700

My Solo wireless have been working great. I use them while walking my dog for 2-3 hrs per day and the charge last about 2 weeks. This was true until now! Since the weather has cooled off (in the 20s) my headset shuts down about an hour into the walk. I get a chime then nothing, no lights , sound nothing, I cannot turn them back on they are just dead! When I get home and let them warm up for an hour or so, I can turn them on and they show full charge! Must be the cold because I can use them inside without them shutting down. Is this normal?
