This sounds like a simple problem, but it's annoying the hell out of me. I have three sets of earbuds (two of them brand new) and every one of them, the right earbud either won't connect, disconnects after a minute of use, or even powers off after a minute of use. I've tried connecting all three sets to two different laptops and a phone, and the same problem comes up for every combination. Why are my right earbuds failing?

Is it possible you're seeing some kind of Bluetooth overlap/confusion?

Have any of these devices ever worked properly? Do non-earbud devices pair/connect/work as expected when connected to any of the laptops/phones?

I knew I could count on SoSH for help. :rolleyes:

One of the three sets used to work but started doing this right earbud thing, so I picked up a couple of new sets (wanted a set for the other laptop as well).

I'll try that this evening when I get home, thanks.
And it is laundry day, so I have that going for me, which is nice.

Ran into more important issues. Tax returns rejected.
Will get back to earbuds.
