Does anyone know why they work great for a few weeks and then one goes mute?

Never had that happen with these particular earphones - others yes, but not these. I have one pair that is about 3 years old - still working fine.

Well I have been using these since they first came out years ago. I get about 6 months at least and then usually a wire gets broken. Quality in this regard is not good but sound wise and fit makes me keep buying them. I watch for deals and buy a couple at a time. Have noticed the wires seem much stiffer and less flexible than the originals and I believe the design and constant pulling on the wires (I keep mine inside my t-shirt and the movement running pulls on them) shortens the life.

I used mine for working out-but when I tested them in my office my co-workers could not hear them- my first set worked great until after half a dozen uses the volume was inaudible-my second set the left side had no volume when I received it- I have ordered another set and am hoping for a better scenario- when they work they are fabulous!

Funny you ask because as much as I love the sound, I've had them less than three months and already they are cutting out.

make sure you are not pulling the ear plugs from the plug too hard. If you have you may have broken them. That is how I knew my last one was no longer viable. I was too rough with them.

Haven't experienced any problems with mine, maybe you've been unlucky with a faulty pair.I am currently waiting for a new pair I've bought.Cheers

Odd. They sound like duds. We re-test ours every couple months and working ok far. Bought in August of last year.

No, you are not doing something wrong, I have the same problem, sometimes all I get out of mine is buzzing, not only can't they hear I also can't.If it's not too late send them back.

I bought the 2 pack, put one in the wall and was impressed by how quiet it was. Fast forward a couple weeks and it is still working nicely and keeping time but a rather loud grinding noise. Figured it might have been defective but it was still working so left it in place. Second one on a different lamp, completely silent. Wait a few weeks and it was just as loud as the first. So either I have no luck and got to lemons or these things are whisper silent out of the box until they decide to start talking a few weeks in. Mine aren't in an occupied area so as long as they keep time and turn the lights on/off I don't care that much, but yeah, they make noise (although maybe not right away).

It all depends on how long you are utilizing them. I've only had them for a little over 1 month and they are working perfectly.

I'm not really sure try turning them on and off again if that don't work contact customer support

I've had the same one for over a year and they have worked fine. Only the buzzing noise in the left ear when mic is activated because I got a faulty one.

They may be defective. Ive owned several sets and haven't had that problem.

I like these headphones a lot except at certain periods for days at a time they will go off every 3 minutes. I have to turn my TV off and back on generally 2-3 times and then they will come back on. I have tired everything I know. Unplugg them for several minutes. Then some of the time they work fine and I have no problem. I have ask the store I purchased them form and many other people and no one can tell me what might be causing the problem. My husband and I both have our own TV on either side of our bed. He wears headphones and I wear these. There seems to be no corelation between him having his on or off. Can anyone help me.

I'm having the same problem- they were working so well then yesterday off and on static and today it just turned off. New batteries didn't help either.

It could be that the battery needs to be replaced. They go bad after being plugged in for too long. Take the battery out and see which one you need, they can be found for under 20$. But if this is a new system and it's acting up then it may be something else with an issue.

I do not have this problem. It could be just a manufacturing error. I would just contact the company about this issue as I do not have this problem with my speakers.

I have not had the problem. Is there a mute button that might be the culprit?
