Headphones all of a sudden quiet

[peppster]

I have two pairs of Apple Earpods (not the airpods), and all of a sudden all of the sounds coming out of it are quieter than usual.. I tested this by using my other earpods (this pair's left ear is broken), and much louder sound came through. Why are my earpods randomly quiet now? Are they broken or is there a way to fix it?

That's sounds like a classic case of defective earbuds.
