I have seen many people place their Powerbeats Pro buds outside of the case. Before pairing them with the device.
Or many people keep them separately outside of the case. Due to that buds stop playing sound or sometimes only one.
To fix this issue you have to keep both buds outside of the case for 24 hours to completely drain their battery. After that charge them and connect with your device.
And hopefully, they will start playing sound after connecting with your device.
