    Mine just keeps blinking in the case, and when I take it out it doesn’t do anything it doesn’t turn on, but as for the left one it does work. I’m really confused.

    but I found a small fix, you need the charger that comes with it. I took it out gently but it worked sometimes but you have to take it out quickly but if it doesn't work keep repeating until it blinks blue because it worked for me.

    My right stop and wasn't charging. First I clean the case connectors and my ear buds. Then I let it charge for 2 days, honestly I just thought the right ear bud was finished. I noticed it charged up but when I went to listen with them, the right bud gave me a cracking sound. So, I just reset them, now they are working find. I used to sleep with them on, maybe on the right side, the ear bud might of been pressed all night. However the are good and I hope this helps.

    There are two options given in the manual. One is re-initiatizing the headset and the other is factory reset. The title shows factory reset but the video shown here is the procedure of re-initiatizing where the key must be released when LED turns orange and press again untill blue LED flashes. According to Sony demo video to factory reset, press down the buttons all way down(no releasing the button when LED turns orange) and release the keys only after the orange LED turns to blinking blue and finally stops

    You're correct that the video shows the "re-initializing" process as being the "factory reset" process for this headset. The reason why I do this is because the term "factory reset" does not officially appear in the documentation for the Sony WF-C500. Since the "re-initializing" process is the one that resets all settings (to factory ones) and wipes the pairing information on the WF-C500, I view "re-initializing" to be the "factory reset" for this headset. The steps that you're describing as "factory reset" in your comment are the steps for simply "resetting" the headset. "Resetting" does not wipe the pairing information or the other settings on the headset. It's more like a hard reboot of the headset than anything. I do appreciate this comment though. I probably should've clarified this aspect of things in the video and will keep this in mind for future videos. Thanks.

    My earbuds stutter. Even when the voice of the lady stutters. Only on one side, yet they both randomly cut out. When i hold down one of the sides fir factory reset it just stops blinking blue light even before turning orange. Is it just damaged? And why and how?
