Some fast chargers are not compatible with the Sony WH-1000XM3.

Try plugging them in through a wall adapter with lower power, less than 40W is recommended.

Some people on the internet also suggest "hitting the right ear with your hand a few times." I don't know why that would help but why not!

If all else fails, it could be a software glitch - a factory reset might help. You would hold the power and NC/Ambient buttons together for 10 seconds as per Sony's article which I recommend you read through.

Let me know if it works!

Best,
Isaiah
