Does anybody know if galaxy ear buds (or similar) are symmetrical?
Reason I ask is I am totally deaf in left ear, so I alway set sound to be mono rather than stereo (or else I would only hear right channel).
If they are symmetrical, I could use left bud in right ear doubling battery life in effect.
I do use a corded headphone with only one speaker earpiece at night to listen in bed but that gets easily pulled out of ear as I move.
I tried bluetooth heasband with speakers but they were too quiet and hard to keep in place as you move.
I do use hearing aids but they are too valuable to use when in bed as can easily mislaid or even lost if I fall asleep (they would cost thousands to replace plus mega inconvenience).
Galaxy style earbuds are a fraction of the price and less concern about mislaying them etc.
If symmetrical, I would have 100% redundsncy lol?
