Hello,

You are referring to the wired headphones, correct?

If so: Check the charging port for lint or other debris (use a bright light and a toothpick) and see this:

If your headphones don‘t work with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If no help, try this:

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual and scroll down to “Balance L vs R” (Adjust the audio volume balance) and make changes.

Still no help, try another pair. They are available almost everywhere at a reasonable cost.

Good luck.
