These types of stereophonic headphones are designed to offer maximum comfort since they do not need an additional cable to connect with each other, something that does occur in traditional Bluetooth headphones.

They are also compatible with wireless charging and many of them support the use of voice assistants.

Headphones Only Work in One Ear

However, as in all wireless devices, connectivity problems often arise, one of the most annoying being the lack of sound on one side.

This can be due to several factors but in most cases it is due to a disconnection between headphones. Here’s how to solve the problem.

How to fix Xiaomi earbuds when only one side works

First, put the earbuds in their charging case. Then, unpair the headphones from your mobile phone.

Remove the two earbuds from their case and press their physical button or touchpad (depending on the model) for five seconds to completely turn them off. You will notice that a red light appears before this happens.

Next, simultaneously press the physical buttons or on the touchpad of each headset again for approximately twenty seconds. During this period you will notice a series of blinks. When you see the third set of blinks, release the buttons and return the earbuds to their charging case.

Finally, proceed to re-pair the headphones with your mobile phone.

What to do if your earbuds still aren’t working?

In the event that the aforementioned steps do not effectively resolve the matter, it is recommended to initiate contact with Xiaomi’s dedicated customer support team or alternatively, pay a visit to an authorized service center. This course of action is particularly advisable if a potential hardware-related complication is suspected, as it necessitates the expertise of trained professionals.
