My phone only lets me select one wireless earbud to play audio through

I got a pair of wireless earbuds. The brand's not important, but what is important is that they act like two seperate media devices. When I first connected them up, my phone played through both just fine. I disconnected them for reasons, and about an hour later reconnected them. Now my phone refuses to play through both. On my slide down bar, there is a button called audio path, and it only lets me select one of the devices. Selecting the other turns off the first. How do I get my expensive *** phone to work properly?!
