Sound lag is when the sound output on earbuds do not match what’s happening on the connected device's screen. There are several reasons why you may experience sound lags on your Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Buds+ when playing videos or games. However, there is usually an easy fix, such as strengthening the Bluetooth connection.

• Sound lags can occur on any Bluetooth audio device. You can minimize the delay by limiting interference. Move the devices closer together to help improve the connection. Make sure there aren't any objects, metals, walls or people between the earbuds and other Bluetooth device.
• Additionally, avoid using devices that may cause interference like other Bluetooth devices, microwaves, and wireless routers.
