I have a pair of ER-6 earbuds that I never use since I broke my MP3 player but I tried them 10 minutes ago and the right earbud was almost completely dead. I tried it on my stereo connected to my PC, and then the PC directly and the earbud was still dead. Then I took it to the stereo upstairs and I don't know if it suddenly started while it was in my hand (and not my ear) or if it worked as soon as I plugged it in but now it seems to be working everywhere again. I don't know if it was electrical or something obstructing the filter (I didn't see anything). I'm a bit concerned since these things are expensive and practically brand new and one earbud suddenly stopped working and started working again.
Does anyone know anything about earphone failures and what kinds of things indicate intermittent electrical failure or just something obstructing the membrane?
