Great! I’ve had mostly good experiences with them as well. If you have problems
with an iPod, it’s easy to exchange it for a new one too.

An update: I reported the problem through the Apple Support site on Saturday.
This afternoon (Monday) I received a new pair of earbuds. They seem to work
just fine. Next step: sending the old ones back to Apple. I am pleasantly
surprised with how easy it all has been.

That sounds like it is the answer. If they’re new, take the earbuds back to Apple.

Yep, it sure seems to be plugged in correctly. I have pulled it out and plugged it back in several times, but to no avail. I have moved to Plan B: I have plugged the earbuds directly into two computers (a Mac and a *shiver* Windoze machine). In both cases the left earbud is much louder than the write. This leads me to believe that the problem is not with the iPod, but with the earbuds themselves.

Thanks for your help.

Are you sure it’s plugged in completely? I’ve only had that problem when the
plug isn’t all the way in the jack. In fact, I had it today, because I have a silicone
case for my classic, and it was preventing the plug from going all the way in.
(After a quick wiggle, it was fine.)

Hi Kirk!

I just finished reading your "iPod & iTunes Garage". Even though it is a couple of years old, I find a lot of useful information.

I was wondering how you are enjoying your iPod Classic. I have had one for about a month (it’s my first iPod). My life is now divided in two parts: before the iPod and after the iPod.

I have noticed recently, however, that the earbuds seem to be acting strangely; to wit, the right one is much quieter than the left. I do not believe that I had the problem at the beginning. Have you had similar experiences? Any thoughts on what I might do?

Thanks.

I agree that it can work if you’re patient and willing to change the contents of
your iPod. For me, the iPod is not so much for mobile music, but rather a source
for my stereo when I listen at home, so I want to have as much as possible easily
accessible when I listen.

Not even half of my music could fit on the 160 gb iPod. So I’ve been happy with
a Nano and a "rotation" playlist for the past couple of years, and now the
iPhone. You really don’t need more than 8 gigs of music with you.
