A tone plays on the left and then on the right; answer which side you heard it from. This test only plays sound and does not use the microphone.
Everything is measured inside this page. The measured values and results are not sent, saved or recorded.
Measure
Turn the device volume down before you start. With earphones or headphones, hold them a little away from your ears at first, then raise the volume until you can hear the tone. Each tone plays only briefly.

Sides not separated
Answers: both sides JikCheck initial criterion

How to use and FAQ
?How do I use the speaker test?
Press Start, press Play left tone and answer which side you heard it from. Do the same for the right side, then choose Show result. You can show the result after answering for one side only, but until both sides are answered all three items show “Cannot judge”.
?The sound is too loud or too quiet.
This page keeps the volume of the tone fixed. Adjust it with the volume of the device or the operating system. It is safest to start low and raise it a little at a time.
?The left tone is heard on both sides.
Mono audio may be switched on in the accessibility settings of the operating system, or a Bluetooth device may be in mono mode. Check the settings and measure again.
?Is the result proof for an exchange or warranty claim?
No. The result is a reference measurement based on your own answers. Follow the seller’s or manufacturer’s rules for exchange and repair.

Speaker test
One side silent
You answered that a tone played on one side could not be heard. This is your own report.
Left and right swapped
You answered that a tone was heard on the opposite side. Wearing direction or wiring can cause this.

Check the volume and the mute state of the device and the operating system.
Check the cable, the jack and the Bluetooth connection, and listen on another jack or another device as well.
In the sound settings of the operating system, check that the left-right balance is not shifted to one side and that mono audio is off.
Look at the left and right (L and R) marks on the earphones or headphones and check that you are wearing them the right way round.
If it still happens, check the seller’s or manufacturer’s exchange and warranty terms.
Playing the tone…
Which side did you hear that tone from?
The tone was cut short. Play it again.
No sound could be played. Check whether the browser blocks sound and whether the device is connected, then play it again.
