why left earbud has no sound

March 12, 2025
The Sony WF-C700N left earbud may have no sound due to several possible reasons:
1. Low Volume – The volume on the connected device may be too low. 2. Bluetooth Connection Issue – The earbud may not be properly paired. Resetting the Bluetooth connection by forgetting the device and repairing it can help. 3. Charging Issue – Dirty or corroded charging pins on the earbud or case may prevent proper charging. Cleaning the pins with alcohol can resolve this. 4. Software or Reset Issue – The earbud may need a reset. Placing both earbuds in the charging case, holding the reset button, and re-pairing can fix the issue.
Following these steps can help restore sound to the left earbud.
