Why is the right ear on my beats not playing

Have you checked the balance settings on your device.

On one side of my headphones on my beats solo3

The right side isn’t playing, and the left side is starting to not play sometimes

I did a tiny bit of troubleshooting by verifying that the issue occurs with multiple apps (Safari/Netflix and Music on my MacBook Pro), but only one device.

I took mine to the Genius Bar today, because I got them through a back-to-school promotion from Apple last year. We verified that the problem persists when used with a “known good” source. He asked whether I may have over-extended that side of the set, but I hadn’t even ever extended it all the way (I usually only extend it one ‘click’ from fully closed).

The other cables on that side (power and bluetooth) both work. The only sympton is no audio on that side.

“Repair” options were to send it out—they don’t deal with them in-store—which would take a few days and cost $129, or to buy a new pair for $199. Neither are good choices for me to replace a ‘gift with purchase.’

I guess I’m going to have to take them apart. Since there’s no guide here (why I came to this site), I’ll just have to wing it. I’ll let you know if I figure something out.

First of all try it on another device and if that won’t change anything check the settings on the device its paired to. the balance may have shifted to one side. Jeff @ProPlumbers and Pipe fitters. (https://www.checkatrade.com/trades/Propl...)

My beats solo 2 hello kitty addition are brand new and it’s not playing out if the right ear. When I bought them they vans brand new put the box plastic everything. I thought I’d was the wire but I bought another site and the same thing is happening. When I hold the wire part where you control robe sound it plays fine in both ears? What do I do?

It wont be always that the beats right speaker is broken, it can be the fact that you have listened to loud music for a long period of time which can damage the headphone itself.

Id recommend that you send it to apple themselves to fix it, yes there are some apple stores who don't do it because they don't want to but still send it to apple and let them fix it. It shouldn’t take more than 1 week because its a simple replacement.
