Hello. I have a Iphone 5S white that isnt 1 year yet. I got it from a friend, and after some testing I found out that i get sound only from the right earbud. I have changed the entire Minijack\charger port. And i still got no sound in the left earbud. I also have updated to IOS8 and Restored the entire device.
you mentioned changing the port but did you try a different set of buds?
