Only works in one ear, very quiet unless I bend the cord a certain way

Hi Morgan,

It sounds like there is broken wiring or a bad connection. Try to isolate where the problem is by bending a section of the wire while holding the rest still.

If you are comfortable using a soldering iron for electrical repairs, you can search on Google for detailed repair instructions.

Otherwise, you can give these ideas a try:

If it is near the Earpod, a temporary fix may be to use a hot glue gun to reinforce and prevent the wire from pulling. If it is anywhere along the wire, you can try to make a "stent" by taping part of a toothpick against the trouble spot to reinforce and relieve strain.

Good luck and happy repairs!
