I give up. I’ve tried so many types of buds (jbl endurance run, fio kz zsn-prox, galaxy buds 2) but they all become dim/quiet/lower quality on the left side within half a year of me using them. I connect them straight to my Samsung a22. Am I cursed?! Like I am afraid to invest into anything above 100$ because of this.
you should try bone conducing headphones. I use aftershokz pro. Give them a try they are a great swap
