It’s a situation many wireless earbud users know too well — one earbud plays perfectly while the other remains silent. Whether it’s during a morning jog or a video call, this issue can be frustrating and confusing. The question most users ask at this point is simple: why aren’t both my earbuds connecting?
This guide explores the most common reasons behind one-sided audio problems, how true wireless earbuds actually connect, practical fixes to restore sound in both ears, and when it’s time to seek professional help.
Understanding How True Wireless Earbuds Connect
Main and Secondary Earbud Connection
True wireless earbuds, including Jesebang models, work with a main-secondary connection system. Typically, the right earbud acts as the “primary” unit that connects directly to your phone or tablet. The left earbud then syncs through the right one.
Why This Matters
If the chain between these two connections breaks — for example, if the secondary earbud loses sync or power — one side may fail to connect. Understanding this link helps users identify where the problem might begin.
Common Reasons Both Earbuds Don’t Connect
Incomplete Pairing Process
If the earbuds were not fully paired with each other before being linked to the device, one side might remain disconnected.
Low Battery or Uneven Charging
Uneven power levels are a common culprit. If one earbud drains faster or didn’t charge properly, it may power off while the other keeps working.
Bluetooth Interference or Range Issues
Nearby Bluetooth devices or Wi-Fi routers can interfere with the signal. Keeping earbuds and the device within 10 meters helps maintain stability.
Dirty Charging Contacts
Sweat, dust, or pocket lint can block the charging pins, preventing proper charging or data transfer between the earbuds and case.
Outdated Firmware or Device Settings
Older firmware or outdated Bluetooth drivers on your phone can lead to frequent pairing failures or instability.
Step-by-Step Fixes to Try
1. Unpair and Re-Pair the Earbuds
Delete the earbuds from the Bluetooth list on your device, place them back in their case, and then reconnect them as new.
2. Reset the Earbuds
For Jesebang earbuds, simply place both earbuds in the charging case and hold the touch controls for several seconds until the LED indicators flash. This resets the connection between both sides.
3. Charge Both Earbuds Fully
Ensure the case and both earbuds are completely charged before trying again. Uneven battery levels often prevent successful syncing.
4. Clean the Charging Case and Contacts
Use a dry cotton swab to clean the pins and slots. Avoid liquids or abrasive materials that could damage the surface.
5. Test One Earbud at a Time
Connect each earbud individually to confirm whether one is defective or not receiving power.
6. Restart the Bluetooth Device
Sometimes, the issue lies with the phone or tablet. Restarting clears cache and reconnects Bluetooth services.
Preventing Future Connection Problems
- Always store earbuds in their charging case when not in use.
- Keep Bluetooth devices within a 10-meter range for a stable signal.
- Regularly clean the earbuds and case to prevent charging issues.
- Update firmware or Bluetooth settings whenever new versions are available.
- Avoid connecting multiple Bluetooth devices simultaneously to the same source.
