I didn't expect much out of my earbuds when I got them during the summer but they had seemed to have held up pretty well. However, this apparently wasn't the case because a few days ago the left side started sounding funny. Not only that but people can now hear what's coming out of them easily as if the sound is going outward, away from my ears, instead of inward, into my ears. Is it possible for them to just stop isolating noise and increase the amount of sound that goes out instead of in? The left side sounds so bad that I thought my ear was clogged. It's almost like the earbuds are inside my ears, playing sound in an outward direction. Is this just because they are broken or is there something I'm missing here?
Alsl, I thought I should add that these aren't expensive earbuds. They were like $9 Panasonic earbuds. I would just like to find out what happened to them.
