Key Questions Answered
Accumulated dust, earwax, or debris inside the earbuds or on the mesh is the most common reason for low sound. You can gently clean them using a soft, dry cloth, a soft brush, or a cotton swab. Avoid using sharp objects to prevent damaging the earbuds.
Open your phone's Accessibility or hearing-related settings to check the Audio Balance. Ensure the Left-Right slider is positioned in the middle. On Vivo phones, this is typically found under Shortcut and Accessibility > Accessibility > Audio Adjustment, while Samsung users can navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Enhancements.
Go to your phone's Bluetooth settings, find the earbuds device list, and select 'Forget' or 'Unpair'. Afterward, turn your Bluetooth off, turn it back on, and pair the earbuds again to resolve potential connection glitches.
