Many people like myself go on KZread see this as one of the first results and think they can't have left earbud working by itself. If it wasn't for one of the comments that helped me I would have returned I'm spreading it foward and like two people asked my how.

@Lukas why unsub? Definitely just hating
This was absolutely amazing! No unnecessary preface, just straight to the issue and how to fix it and it actually worked! Thank you so much!
Like many others in these comments, I paired these earbuds to a new phone and wasn't sure why the left bud wasn't working properly any longer. The info in this video was exactly what I needed to know, and it saved me a ton of time fooling around with my earbuds trying to figure this out (if I ever would have!). Thank you!
Being able to use the buds independently is number one for me when choosing my buds. Thanks
Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar. I'm not sure why this knowledge isn't widespread, but it took a good amount of searching for me to find this simple piece of information (turn off Google assist to connect left earbud). I appreciate it very very much!
Dude you're a godsend. I'm sitting here in the middle of the night trying to figure out why the heck my left earbud doesn't want to connect independently with my new Pixel phone and this is it... Thanks a ton for making this video!!
Huge thank man! I recently paired my set with a new phone and couldn't figure out why I couldn't rock just one bud at a time like I used to. It was driving me crazy. Turned off Google assistant and it's back to working like normal. I never would have thought to try this on my own.
I've spent months trying to figure this out on my own. You solved it for me in less than 3 minutes. Rock on!
I agree with all of the other comments. Would never have thought to do this on my own, you just saved me from returning these. Was able to select Use Voice Assistant of Device and now left earbud works independently and am still able to use Google Assistant off my phone. Thank you so much for this video.
This is the most helpful video I have ever encountered on KZread. Thank you for your kindness.

Man I wish I could give this video more likes!!! I've been stressing out over this for hours after connecting my buds to my new Pixel phone. You a real one for making this video.
Thanks for the inspiration! On my Samsung Android I can select "voice assistant of the phone" instead of "Google assistant". Now I can swap between the buds AND still use the Google assistant!
2 years later and u just saved me hundreds ty brother❤ 💯
Thank you so much my dude you have no idea how crazy I felt not being able to use the left or right separately.
thanks for this! I'm supposed to go to the service center about this concern, though it was a factory defect. Glad I saw your video it saved me time
Couldn't figure out how to get the left ear bud to work on its own. Man I am glad I found your video. Thank you!!
The exact video I needed. Strait to the point. Love it!
Man I was about to return these as much as I love them!!! Battery life was so good that when it finally died and I tried to 'hot swap' to the left one, it did not work. I was so disappointed. Figured it was a glitch because all the other reviewers says it work. Thanks alot!! I will try this hack.
This has been wrecking my head for months, thank you so much!
Awesome! Dude this was fantastic info. Was freaking out my buds were dead
Dude seriously! Why i didn't get the video like 3 years back? I have had this issue since i bought them and never knew what to do. Thankyou so much man❤
Bro, you are the best! I've spend a week trying ti figure this out, keep up the solid work! Love the term hot swapping🤣

Ur amazing man I love you. I have been trying to figure out how to use the left one alone but no other vid helped me
Nice, thank you man, I made sure these could be played with either bud when reading the reviews but couldn't get it working for some reason. Now I can!
Wow thanks. Was able to follow the video without any audio. Taking the left earbud out of the case while the right one is left inside, then putting the left one back in worked a charm.
I subbed because of how chill you sounded in the first 2 seconds of the video
This was really helpful. Thanks man👊 Was just about to return them
Thank you so much for this quick fix I was getting angry because that was a huge feature for me with the 3s. Subbed and liked for ending my rage and or return.
Thank you so much for explaining this! Also your swag is great to watch and your voice is easy to listen too!
First of all I would like to congrats you for your video and give you a thanks because I was thinking about it was an issue on my headphones, you are the best.
Thank you. You've helped me out with these earbuds a couple times now.
Driving me NUTS. These earbuds are so prone to software glitches but this glitch was one that I would've returned the earbuds over. Thank you so much. U got a subscriber dude. (You'd think these earbuds would work considering they cost 300 bucks though 🙄)
Wow! Took me two years to find this video! Thank you so much! Subscribed! ✊🏾
Your videos helped me not once but 3 times with these mx4s thank you!!!!
Just what I was looking for, thanks!
I lovvvve these so thank you for the fix! I thought I was going to have to take them back. You saved the day!

Thank you so much for the tips, I didn't find anything on google about this issue. You are doing god work
Thank you so much this is just what I was looking for to make each one independent since I can't wear both at the same time
You just fixed my earbuds! I was about to return them. Thanks!!!
Thanks for making this valuable advice!!!! Such a relief!
Thank you, was going crazy after the google assistant update. Just subscribed!
You're a saint! It's a different year and I thought they just broke. Thank you kindly.
THANK YOU!! I was getting pretty frustrated trying to figure this out. Rock on!!
This video is pure gold! Thanks 👍
Thank you so much! Independent function was a REQUIREMENT for my use. I am so happy to have this issue resolved! Subscribed!
Omg thank you so much! I was about to return these earbuds because I sleep on my right side and I want to use my left earbud to listen to my book as I go to sleep. And it wouldn't work! Your lifesaver Thank you so much for your very informative video!
Dude thank you, I returned my link buds and upgraded to the wx 1000xm4 and was pissed that the guy at best buy told me the left earbud would play music without the right one and went to try it and they wouldn't. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Brother you are a life saver. They really should've explained this in the app. Either I didn't see it. Or they didn't care to tell us
Just subscribed because chile i was JUST about to return these!!! Life saver.
Thank you so much! Solved my problem 😅😅 couldt figure out why the left suddenly stopped working solo till I found your video. Thank you
Just found out about this, I work in a wearhouse, and it was annoying to use my xm4's without having to use both at the same time now I can jam out woth the Kings, man your the best
You are the man. Thank you for this helpful information. this issue has been driving me crazy
I almost sent it back about this. You are amazing thanks a lot 🤩
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Saved me spending my evening troubleshooting. This worked like a charm. Wtf is sony playing at. Weak
Thank you man, after a factory reset I had no idea what was going on and why the left one wouldn't work solo
Literally bought these because I can only use one at work, and having the option to hot swap them is why I went with Sony, life saver! Was about to return them for false advertising lol
One of the most usefull video regarding the Sony WF-1000XM4!!!
Spooked me. From the title, I thought one went tits up. I don't use assistant anyway. I am happy as long as you can listen to them independently for those long days at the airports.

Just FYI. Got them 2 hours ago, they were working. Firmware update appeared, started to install it, failed at 9% and since then the left earbud doesn't work anymore. I mean at all, not only sound, it's not recognised by the case when put in or pulled out, touch button doesn't work, so I can't reset them. Left earbud is bricked. Very stupid design that you can only update via bluetooth and if the update fails it can brick the earbuds and you can't try to update again through bluetooth.

@ Pady Eos Hey same thing happened to me , apparently all you gotta do is put them in the case , connect the case to charge and open and close the case more than 5 times, the case should start blinking red and it’ll reset the earbuds. Hope this works!

You saved my life because I was ready to go to Sony store in other country ( Its Closer than in my country) but I dont have to because od you thanks man
Thanks for the tip. For me left ear bud was not working as soon as i opened the brand new xm4 from box. Ibtrued toggling Google assistant as mentioned here it did not work still. Then learnt from another video to reset the buds by connecting the case to charger then open and close the case 5 times ..it did factory reset of the buds and left ear bud got powered in and started working fine ..
Shout out to you, my man, because I was about to toss these linkbuds s out the window! Appreciate you!✊🏾
Haven't seen anyone mention that the voice assistant function works like that, finally fixed the issue thank you
Amaziing!! I wouldn't be able to find this by myself. Brilliant.
Thank god. I prefer using them independently and recently they would only work if both were out. You solved my problem! Thanks.
Bro, you just SAVED my life. I was about to drop these back to target for a refund and go back to my galaxy buds+.
Same here I was going to return these until I googled this problem and ur video came up thank you so much
Thank you for the tip 🙏 Cuz I was able to hot swap between lift and right and it was not working for some reason 😑 Thanks for the heads up 👍🏽

Omg man thank you. This "fixed" my issue. Using either ear bud independently is very important to me so I will go without Google assistant.
Goodshit dude. Most helpful youtube video in ages
thank you very much man, you saved my day as I was about yo sell these buds at loss
absolute star!!!!! Could NOT figure out why this was happening, when i know* it worked both ways before
Godspeed brother. One day it was working with just the left and next it wasn't. I definitely turned on Google assistant and that is what caused it.
bro i didn't khow but i realy needed this thank you so much
Thank u sooooo much!!! Omggg this helped so much, im forever grateful 🙏
Thank you! I was so confused about it
You're a legend! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this!!
Antwan, Great tip! Thanks.
Very good advice, thank you!
Very useful, thank you!
Omg THANK YOU! I upgraded to new phone and upon repairing I decided to.give voice assistant a go and thought it was update that made left one not work solo cos it sis before. Thank you for this. They should put a note before switching this happens honestly.
Lifesaver! Was almost going to return them thinking mine are not working!
Thank you.ur review is really helpful.
Thank you man I just set up a new phone and was like what the hell my left bud stopped working but you just saved me thank you
Absolute life saver 🙌
Very helpful video -- Thanks!
Thank you so much this is help a lot man
I found this really helpful!!
Super helpful thanks
Thank you dude. You have a new Subscriber.
Thanks for the information, I was getting pretty discouraged after pairing to a new phone.
Hey. In my wx bf700 the left bud is the main bud. The right cant work alone with out it. Now i lost the left one so it doesnt work. Is there any way to make the right one in charge and in control and working even i lost the left one?
Thanks for this very informative video. it's still relevant in 2022. I was looking for a solution to workaround this issue. Anyway it's sad engineering/software design to not be able to use Google Assistant while using only the left earbud. :/
Thanks legend, was wondering why it wasn't working with just one ear bud
Thanks man I was wondering why It didn't work. Saw a review saying it worked in both so naturally I thought mine was defective.
tysm! you helped me a lot!!
thank you for that information.
