My Samsung Galaxy S8 AKG right earphone volume is lower than the left.

[Jessie Salinas]

I've bought my Samsung Galaxy S8 when it was released and it came with a pare of AKG headphones. After some time, I realised that the right earphone is much lower than the left one.

Hey I had the same issue after one of mine for water on them. For all of you reading this pour running alcohol on the weak one for a few seconds, rinse it out, then dry them off by shaking them and using crops. Right after I did that they began working again. Worked for me, hope this was helpful ������

Yeah mate look at my lower reply
Use rubbing alcohol to rinse them

Guys i want to share u what i faced n how i solved the problem on s8+ akg earphone. My akg earphone in the left ear did not played with full bass only small treble was there while right was working fine. Then i played a song on vlc on my computer on 250% sound and blew a small hole present just below the main hole with my full capacity for 5 6 times... n bang!!! It was playing allright like n new one. I don't know it will work for others but i wanted to share this. Thanks

Unfortunately, I have the same problem and cleaning the earbuds and blasting loud music from them did nothing. For the record, I used my PC jack to listen to music on them and the sound difference is still there.

So there are still no solutions?:'(

It could be actually damaged wiring.

Lots of similar postings on the Samsung community forums. Must be a defect. I leave my headphones sitting on my desk and use them occasionally. Only had them since Sept. and the right side is weak.

Can I just go to Verizon and exchange them?

So had this issue since step son borrowed my ear buds and thought maybe he broke a wire inside the cord. But after looking at them closely I could see a build up of something around the screen mesh on my left ear bud. So taking advice from stated above I poured hydrogen peroxide into the ear bud and it started to fizz and clean then blew in them and repoured hydrogen peroxide into the ear bud and noticed the screen mesh was coming off using tweezers I removed the mesh and now both are loud.

So basically if you pour hydrogen peroxide in them and they fizz just remove the screen mesh. Now I gotta go talk to my step son and teach him how to clean his ears.... hope this helps.

Same type of thing happens to me, but the left earphone just doesn't have any sound coming out at all.

The AKG that's ship with the S8 and S8+ are garage. Sorry I have them and my bluetooth/wired AKG headphones that I bought a costco are the best.

are you using any Eqlizer app that is supposed to help improve sound? A quick search on google is not finding any android users whose headphones has spontaneously switched sides. I can only imagine an eqlizer app that alters the audio before it gets to your headphones doing it.

I just fixed mine actually. Ok, take off the rubber silicone covering and do a combination of blowing/sucking out air slowly in the larger hole. It may take a few minutes, but it works. I hope this helps !

Hi thanks for responding. I never use third party apps for my mobile.

 

[filanto]

I don't have those headphones but I did get some other brand and it was such a terrible audio experience I almost drove back to the store. I did the adaptive sound and WOW! try it first and see what happens

You're welcome, I hope it works for you

My Galaxy note 8 came with ear buds. After awhile one earbud was extremely low, to the point it sounded like no sound was coming out. Come to find out the ear bud was dirty and needed to be cleaned. Just take the rubber part off the ear bud and take some tweezer to cleans the part were the sound comes out. It has a littlle small mesh screen on it. Now I know to clean the ear buds regularly. Works like a charm

So my left earbud was so bloody quiet that I gave up took the little rubber off, and sucked on the mesh, and little did I know that I was gonna bloody get all the blasted earwax in my mouth that built up because of my ears being wet. All in all it seemed to fix my problem.

 

[PauliusZZzz]

yeah had the same issue so I just removed the mesh from the earphone cleaned it with alcohol placed it back and it's back to original volume level although I preferred the sound without the mesh

I was facing same problem and I have fixed it.
You should do one thing. Open your right earphone just by pushing the red line in this pic by a sharp thing like knife = D

After opening it you should take out the round speaker (be careful. Don't disconnect wires)
After that you should take out the shiny layer by needle showing in following pic.

Take the round silver layer and you will see a black layer stuck with that silver layer.
That's all. Then take the object back to its place and its it's done.
My earbuds fixed with this. Hope your earbuds fixes.
Sorry for my bad english =))
