My left earbud fell out on the street and couldn't be found. I bought a replacement from a third party. I haven't been able to connect it, unfortunately, despite trying a factory reset and firmware update. The right earbud still works. Is there a solution? If not, I'd like to understand the problem. Thanks.

2022-10-10T18:22:33+00:00 The original earbuds were supplied directly by Microsoft in April 2021 (when I purchased a Surface Laptop 4). The replacement left earbud came from another vendor. A photo is attached, showing the original case and right earbud, and the replacement left earbud.
Thanks.

I would still be interested in understanding why two earbuds that were not originally sold as a pair cannot be made to work together.

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Community.
Replacement for the earbuds are sold by pair. We really don't support replacement earbuds from a third party vendor. I would recommend to contact our live support team to process a replacement for your Surface earbuds. You may reach them through the numbers listed in Global Customer Service phone numbers (microsoft.com) under For Business users. This also works with Home users , just select Surface then Home as a type of user in the IVR prompt. You may also reach them through this page: Contact - Microsoft Support.
Kind regards,
Lavenia
