My left earbud is seriously quieter that my right one... Can barely hear anything at half value out of the left one. It's not my hearing, I swapped the earbuds and the left one was still quieter in the right ear.

This is on my iPhone 6, not my computer... Anyone know what could be cashing this? I'm jailbroken if that helps anyone. Running IOS 9.

So connecting through the 3.5mm jack doesn't work one side correctly. You could check if the jack is dirty. If that doesn't work, seems some hardware issue, and you should take it to repair.
You could also try using bluetooth.

Only happens with earbuds... I'm pretty sure it's something with the phone because it's happened with two sets of earbuds now

Shove a Q-tip in the headphone jack and clean it out. May also try an extended paperclip at the top. A bunch of lint was jammed up in mine, and one of the tabs on the side was stuck in so that it thought headphones were constantly plugged in, and then only played at normal volume on one side as well.
