The two are the same and visually no different, except the "R" and "L" on them, so the chance should be 50-50 for this case, shouldn't it? Anyone got similar experience?

My three possible answers are:
- dejavu: so i always feel that it happened many more times that i actually is (when the actual ratio was close to 50-50)
- the earbud was specially designed: but shouldn't it be designed so the user would put the right earbud into right ear?
- divinity: the Universe or God designed things so, to prove that science and chance can't prove everything (it's silly through )
It's probably just selective memory... you're more likely to remember instances where things 'go wrong' than when they don't.
