Try re-pairing your TWS earbuds with another available smartphone, tablet, laptop, or other compatible devices. If you are able to hear the audio equally on both earbuds, the issue could be with the device you were earlier pairing with. However, if the issue persists, it could be due to some other factors. Notably, if in case the earbuds/Airpods are working fine with other device and not the one you are trying to pair with then delete the paired device from the previous handset’s Bluetooth setting and restart with fresh pairing.
