Hi Gualtiero !
It may be a battery failure.
I suggest you to follow the following tutorial: Sustitución de la batería de los auriculares inalámbricos PowerBeats3 de Dr. Dre

Hey @schwarzer What do you mean by battery failure?
The headphones work perfectly fine, it's just the microphone that doesn't pick up sound properly.
Hi @gualtierou !
The sound problem could be due to a battery anomaly perhaps.
I had the same issue. The microphone was only picking sound when knocking on the case. I dismounted the mic housing (the controls on the cable) and realized that the original glue turned into some ugly greasy gel-like thing that stuck the mic. After cleaning it, I glued it together (with the B-7000 glue) and everything works like a charm.

Hey, the microphone is still bad I tried recording some sound with it a few weeks back and it wasn't picking up anything, even if I shouted right next to it. Interestingly the only sound it picked up was a clicking sound from me pressing the buttons. The microphone hole seems clean though and I can see a red background.
I have been charging it with a cable that didn't sit flush and protruded slightly for about 2 years so this might have cause the battery anomaly that @schwarzer mentioned. I have recently realized my kindle cable fits better, but this has not resolved the problem.
Now I'm contemplating whether to buy a new pair or whether to try my luck at acquiring a battery and performing the ifixit tutorial @schwarzer shared. Only issue is sourcing a heat gun + soldering iron.
Any thoughts? Thanks a bunch, sorry for the mind dump. I am the Chidi (The Good Place TvShow) of indecisiveness!
