Earbuds

Post Reply New Topic

This is very peculiar.

Every pair of earbuds I've ever owned, regardless of brand or price, after so long one speaker will get a bit fainter than the other.

And it's aways the right speaker. Why is it always the right speaker? Not that it really matters, but I just find it strange.

The other night at work I decided that I might be going a little deaf in my right ear. So that moment I put the left speaker in my right ear and it was louder, sounding the same as if it was in my left ear.

Coincidence?

I've noticed that too. Very strange...

Very mysterious... maybe the way you put them on/in causes more stress on the right wire?

Or maybe the rotation of the Earth...

CAPD perhaps?

Too much noise (or any sensory stimulation) and my hearing goes starts shutting down. And not evenly.

My honest 2 cents....

If you are playing the sound too loud, the wear on one of the speakers will be greater than the other as a stereo signal sends different loads based on how the music is supposed to sound in a 3D representation.

I've never had this happen, so I suppose it's because I don't overdrive the speakers.

Then again I do jack up the volume and blast my metal at work...

It's no good to just keep on turning it up to max volume. Keep the volume down, and you will save your earbuds, and most importantly, your ears. Otherwise, invest in some sound-canceling headphones so that you can hear your music without turning it all the way up.
