Only works in one ear, very quiet unless I bend the cord a certain way

I got EarPods with my iPhone a while ago and I had them stored away, but when I tried to use them, only one ear worked but it was very quiet unless I bent the cord a certain way. This isn't the device, I used it on my iPhone, Mac and iPad. It's the headphones.

Is there any way I can fix this? My cat chews through most of my headphones but they look practically brand new, so I know she hasn't touched them.

I don't wanna spend $30 on a new pair of headphones, especially if there's a fix for this.

Hi Morgan,

It sounds like there is broken wiring or a bad connection. Try to isolate where the problem is by bending a section of the wire while holding the rest still.

If you are comfortable using a soldering iron for electrical repairs, you can search on Google for detailed repair instructions.

Otherwise, you can give these ideas a try:

If it is near the Earpod, a temporary fix may be to use a hot glue gun to reinforce and prevent the wire from pulling. If it is anywhere along the wire, you can try to make a "stent" by taping part of a toothpick against the trouble spot to reinforce and relieve strain.

Good luck and happy repairs!
