One of your earphones may have a low battery due to asymmetrical usage or charging issues. If you tend to use one earphone more frequently, it may deplete faster. Alternatively, there could be a problem with the earphone's battery health or its ability to hold a charge. Ensure both earphones are properly seated in the charging case and that the case has enough charge. Check for any dirt on the contacts that might prevent charging. If issues continue, consult the manufacturer’s guide or contact support.
