yeah but I'll take it over a wired set where one has to have the cord wrapped around my ear in a specific way for sound to come out.
except no because a good enough replacement set was like 20 bucks and high end ones have always had and still do have removable cables.
You don't even need higher end ear buds for replaceable cables anymore. Moondrop CHU 2 are 20-25 € and come with a replaceable cable. The DSP version comes with a nice usb-c cable.
Just make sure to get them from an official retailer; Chinese stuff like this often sells returns on Amazon, non-specialized retailers, etc. Hifi retailers like linsoul, Hifigo, Shenzhen audio, are the only ones where you'll reliably get a working product. Otherwise the quality is quite good.
I use the left one more than the right, I like keeping one out so I can hear my son properly. Maybe you did that and forgot?
Clean the case you nasty ass
Your earbuds when I take them out of my ass:
Likely the "brain" for the pair is on that side and the extra load of doing it's job has worn down the battery's life faster on that side.
This is actually the primary reason I switched from Pixel to iPhone. I was sick and fed up of leaving the house, opening up the pixel buds case and 1 bud not connecting, or having minimal charge, or it just cuts out after a minute of listening to something. Standing in the middle of the street troubleshooting earbuds whilst I just want to listen to something whilst going somewhere was so frustrating. Moved to iphone and airpods - not had an issues since (about 2 years now). Yes I tried different earbuds with my pixel. No, they weren't any better. In-fact I still have some and they work better with my iphone.
I don't go in for fanboism when it comes to tech companies, but the build quality of Samsung and Google is atrocious.
