If only 1 Bose earbud is working, it’s often a connectivity or settings issue. First, try resetting the earbuds and forgetting the device in your Bluetooth settings, then re-pair them. Also, check for firmware updates via the Bose Connect app as this can resolve many connectivity problems. If one earbud still doesn't work, inspect for physical damage or debris blocking the sound. If these steps don't help, contacting Bose Customer Support for a possible repair or replacement might be your next best action.
