What if the audio quality is poor on my Galaxy Buds+?

When you experience a volume sound issue with your Galaxy Buds+ even though you set the volume to max on your connected mobile device, you can check the settings in the Galaxy Wearable app.

• After setting the volume adjustment as a preset tap-and-hold feature from the Galaxy Wearable app, you can control the volume using the touchpad on your Galaxy Buds+.
• If you are unable to hear sound or get an echo on your earbuds during a call, go back and adjust the volume settings of your earbuds through the Galaxy Wearable app.

Please follow the steps outlined below to adjust the volume.

Step 1. Launch the Galaxy Wearable app.

Step 2. Scroll down and tap on Touchpad.

Step 3. Tap Left or Right under Touch and hold touchpad > Select Volume down / Volume up

To improve transmitted sound to the opposite side during calls, it is recommended to enable Ambient sound during calls.

By using this feature, you are able to hear your own voice more clearly, allowing natural vocal effort with both earbuds on.

Step 1. Launch the Galaxy Wearable app on the mobile device.

Step 2. Advanced > Use Ambient sound during calls.

Other tips to improve sound quality:

• Wireless network services may be disabled due to issues with the network of the service provider. Make sure to keep the earbuds away from electromagnetic waves.
  
• Ensure that your earbuds and the other Bluetooth device are within the maximum Bluetooth range (10m or 32ft). Take note that the distance may vary depending on the environment the devices are being used in.

To use your earbuds for an extended period without any problems, it is recommended to clean them periodically. Follow the steps below to clean your earbuds.

Step 1. Remove the ear tip from the earbuds smoothly. Do not pull the ear tip excessively when you attach or detach it. The ear tip may tear.

Step 2. Use a cotton swab and dried brush to remove any earwax, debris and foreign materials. Do not use excessive force while removing earwax or debris. The receiver may be damaged.

Step 3. After complete cleaning, please assemble the ear tip to earbud properly. Cover the latch at the bottom of the earbud with the ear tip.

It is recommended to keep the software installed on your phone, tablet, TV or computer up-to-date. Before you conduct an update for your earbuds, first, update the software on your mobile devices.
