Anker Soundbuds Slim Bluetooth, Left speaker volume drop

I’m having the same problem, but it’s with the soundcore Anker earphones. This is my second pair and the volume has gone down for no reason in the left ear again. If this was a known issue, why are these products still being sold at full price?!

Clean your earbuds, wax builds up in your ear and liquefies when it gets hot and seeps past the mesh screen in the earbuds. When it does this it cools down and hardens and just tends to build up overtime blocking sound, so clean them with Hydrogen Peroxide as it will help break down the wax.

If it happened to both pairs that I’ve owned and to many others on this forum, then I highly doubt it’s earwax. It is a known issue that the left earbud seemingly stops working out of nowhere and it’s happened to me twice with two different pairs. It isn’t earwax, it’s a hardware issue.

I beg to differ, it’s not a hardware issue and yes it happens to many people because they don’t clean their earbuds. Some people it happens more on the left side and others the right, it all depends on which ear develops wax faster.

Don’t believe me, then remove the mesh screen from the earbud and you will see the wax build up that is blocking the sound.

There is no mesh screen. There’s only a golden plate. I’m not sure who you are or why you have taken up the mantel to be the cheerleader/fixer, but arguing that earwax is to blame when the left earbud refuses to pair to any device is ridiculous.

@Tank is neither a fixer nor a cheerleader here.
The only thing he wanted, was trying to help you.

We are a forum (no fixers and cheerleaders).
We try to give some hints if there is a problem and may be people get out of that.

We are not the support and the service of ANKER/soundcore.

Sorry you are not satisfied with our help.
We tried our best as usual.

That golden plate is referred to as the mesh screen, remove it and you will see why no sound comes out if it. Or be stubborn like all the rest of the people who thinks earwax can’t block sound and contact support.

You appear to have replied in the wrong thread, your comments appear to be for one of the wireless buds where the left and right buds are physically separately, which are not physically connected by a wire. The Slim buds are connected by wire left to right.

If you’re not talking about the Slim buds, you probably should reply to the matching thread for yours.

The wireless buds have other additional reasons, other than earwax, why the left bud goes quiet, it usually relates to incorrect user error in pairing and prompts reset instructions, sometimes is hardware fault, sometimes is user error with settings in the phone / PC.
