So as usual, i put on my earphone in night time to listen some songs before go to sleep. And whoop i can't hear through the left ear, the shape is still good but i can't hear anything from it. I tried to hold it, move it, etc but it still didn't work I bought this maybe 2 or 3 months ago but it already half-broken, guess i should by the new one tomorrow have you ever experience it? what you do to fix it or just by the new one?

Ohhhh you scared me @nzlz123... When I read the title, I thought that, did you get involved into a brawl or a fight that led to hurting your ear

I usually try to repair what breaks, but other times I will return the product.

I have this old earphone that comes with the iphone before. It is working but most of the time one ear is not working. I have to shake the cable to get the sound back on that ear.

If something breaks here, I'll try to repair it. If I can't fix it, I'll replace it or go without until I can replace it. I've repaired headphones before but the newer styles are more difficult to repair but they are relatively inexpensive, so replacement is the easiest choice.

yes i agree, as long is the price is not expensive better to replace it right away, and for earphone i can buy only $1 so prefer to buy new one

I cut off the right ear bud on my headset. I sleep on my right side and the ear bud doesn't feel good. I don't need it anyway. I'm just listening to science videos on YouTube while I get ready to sleep and am sleeping. I've had this one for about a year now.

@nzlz123 Listening to the low drone of voices makes me sleepy. Some of the videos I like so listen to closely... others are boring so I can fall asleep.

You should not try to sleep with anything on, or in your ears. They aren't designed for the full weight of your head pressed against anything. They are going to break. When I want to fall asleep to something, I will use a speaker or the speaker from my phone. Then I keep the device near my bed and get comfortable.
