One side of your earbuds not charging can be due to several reasons. Start by checking the charging contacts on both the earbud and the case for any dirt or debris. Clean them gently with a dry, soft brush or cloth. Ensure the charging case has enough power and that both earbuds are properly seated in the case. If the issue persists, resetting the earbuds can often resolve charging problems. If these steps don’t help, there might be a hardware issue requiring professional attention or warranty support.
