Hey friends,

On my iPhone earbuds, one of the earbuds is suddenly buzzy and static-y. Any ideas on how to fix this? It's pretty frustrating, i'm very gentle with them...

Try lightly blowing air in the holes in the back to free up any dirt or dust that could be resting on the speaker cone.

Wow! That worked like a charm for me. I have returned so many ipod headphones over the last 5 years because of this buzzing. You rock!
