Can I cut the left ear-piece off? Bose SoundSport.

Can I cut the left ear-piece off? Bose SoundSport.

I know I will lose the left side audio channel. I normally only listen to podcasts with the right-side earpiece anyway. The wire sheath has ripped and been repaired too many times. Now the left stopped working, and I can do without it (for my purposes).

I assume the batteries are stored in each side for each earpiece independently.

I would cut off everything left of the volume control plastic housing.

Any help will be appreciated.
