Chosen Solution

Can I cut the left ear-piece off? Bose SoundSport. I know I will lose the left side audio channel. I normally only listen to podcasts with the right-side earpiece anyway. The wire sheath has ripped and been repaired too many times. Now the left stopped working, and I can do without it (for my purposes). I assume the batteries are stored in each side for each earpiece independently. I would cut off everything left of the volume control plastic housing. Any help will be appreciated.

Yes you can cut the left-side piece. It doesn’t effect you right-side peiece

Thanks - do you know for sure? Do I need to terminate / isolate the wires left cut?
