The crazy thing too is that I still never even found out what it was that was causing my right bud to have this charging issue, but in any case this trick did help it start to charge again thankfully! Whatever the gunk was in there, it wasn't visible, but I'm just glad I didn't have to throw out a Damm hundred dollar earbud lol. 😅

I believe it’s a small layer of carbon that develops on the end of the pins which in effect blocks the charging circuit. By using the sandpaper you are scraping it off which gets you get back to clean metal again, which makes it work.

If you don't have sand paper or the sand paper isnt able reach the connectors you can get a cotton swap with some hydrogen peroxide on a tip and scrub it with said cotton swab, dry it off and it works too

@@isaachiz1395 Nothing will 'last'. They have to be actively _kept_ clean. That is why unless you have buds to burn like YT reviewers, you can't be rubbing away the tiny contact material, which _will_ destroy them. Just today one of my Earfun buds was too quiet. After a bunch of troubleshooting, on a hunch I peeled off the little mesh grill, washed it in soap and hot water, held it up to light and it looked cleaner. Put it back on, boom, loud and clear again. Earbuds require a lifestyle change from headphones because they are far more easily affected by natural body oils, sweat, wax, dirt etc on their tiny surfaces, electrical and otherwise. I have 3 and keep them in a rotation so hopefully they all last longer, esp batteries.I'm also more attentive to keeping my ears as clean and moisture free as I can without hurting them.

Use a pencil eraser on the pins, not sandpaper which takes the outer coating off.

Worked on my Soundcore Liberty Air wireless earbuds! Isopropyl alcohol worked a few times for me when I put them on the contact points a few months ago. That stopped working then found this video! If you don’t have sand paper, a nail file will work too! I did that and used tweezers to get into the charging cases contact points and on the earbud itself. Thanks man 😎

It's so simple. Thank you! I replaced a pair of Skullcandy earbuds with Dre’s earbuds for the Apple connectivity features and these started doing it recently. I kept the Skullcandy earbuds because of the stay-aware mode for when I'm walking around outside. I'll finally be able to use them again too!

OMG, this actually works. I was thinking I needed new headphones. I didn't use sandpaper or toothbrush but a cotton bud and applied the same concept and they are working perfectly fine now. Thanks so much

Just be carful, people, not to push too hard on the buds' own connecting points (not the pins in the charger). I managed to dislodge them and push them down too far into the unit, and now they are not touching the pins anymore and won't charge at all. Cracking open the bud to reposition the metal connectors is not an option (nor is it a good idea).

But my face was in total shock when I put them on the charger and the red light was on them to let me know they was charging I was soooo relieved, thanks man you are the best ❤

I used anti-static tissue isopropyl alcohol since that's what i use to clean stuff on my pc besides my anti-static brush, i hope it worked

I also use rubbing alcohol (70%ish) and use a fine mist sray bottle to spray a few good squirts of alcohol around those connections, but ALSO, take the tips off and clean those, and mainly...clean the little speaker grills best you can. Ise the alcohol, maybe the toothbrush and let it dry and wipe it down good. Alcohol dries fast. Probably 5 minutes is fine. Then everything will charge AND,if you have either of the buds losing volume or cutting out, most of the time....almost always for me, it will fix everything up and you'll hear them both like new again.

related, if people start saying voice sounds muffled, check those microphone holes make sure they don't have buildup over them. Brush n blow
