So about a month or so ago I bought a cheap headset. Brought it home, used it for a while then all of a sudden the sound in the left ear stopped working. I still used them occasionally for the microphone but used speakers for sound instead.
Juts last week, I bought a new headset. It was fairly expensive, but they were half price so I picked them up. Just today, they also stopped working - this time the left side. I tested both of the headsets in my GBA (Only thing I had with a correctly sized headphones plug) and the problem isn't the computer - they also don't work right in the GBA. Not to mention while trying to fix the problem the mic on the expensive set has stopped working as well.
I dunno if I'm cursed or something because this is bullstuff.
e: The microphone seems to be working now.
