One of the more popular brands of earbuds is made by Bose. They are known for their quality and the beautiful sound they produce. What can you do if they are not loud enough?
If your Bose earbuds are not loud enough, one solution is to reset the pairing. Disconnect Bluetooth and reconnect again by long-pressing the Bluetooth setting on your mobile device and then completely removing the Bose earbuds. Put the earbuds into pairing mode and scan for them using your mobile device. Once you re-pair the Bluetooth connection, adjust the volume on the mobile device or on the earbuds app to an appropriate level.
Here are some other troubleshooting tips to try when your Bose earbuds’ volume is too low:
1. Reset Pairing: If Bluetooth is not working properly, the sound may be affected. Sometimes it is necessary to disconnect Bluetooth and reconnect again.
Doing so is more than turning Bluetooth off and back on using your mobile device. This will likely just result in the problem continuing at the same level.
The best way to do this is to long-press the Bluetooth setting on your mobile device and then completely remove (delete) the Bose earbuds.
At this point, you will have to put the earbuds into pairing mode and scan for them using your mobile device. Check the owner’s manual for any numbers that may need to be entered when they reconnect.
Once you re-pair the Bluetooth connection, you will have to adjust the volume on the mobile device or on the earbuds app to an appropriate level.
2. Audio Balance: We may connect any number of different devices to our mobile device and each of them will have their own settings for the best sound. These can include headphones, earbuds, or even listening to sound out of the speaker.
Adjusting the audio balance may be necessary in order to get the most out of your Bose earbuds. Doing so can really give the volume a boost, but you should be careful that you adjust it slowly so you don’t hurt your ears.
In most cases, you will have to use the Bose Hear app to adjust the earbuds.
It may also be necessary to adjust the balance in one ear and not the other. This is not always a problem with the earbuds themselves, as it could also be a problem with your hearing.
3. Deactivate Noise Cancellation: This may work on a variety of different Bose earbuds, but it is especially beneficial for those who are using QuietComfort Earbuds.
Noise cancellation automatically adjusts the volume of any sound that is coming out of our mobile device. It is sometimes turned on by default, and may also be adjusted using various apps.
Turning off the noise cancellation can really make a difference in the volume that is coming out of the earbuds. It should only be done on a temporary basis, however, because you may want to have the noise cancellation on for other uses.
4. Firmware: One other option is to check for any firmware updates that may be associated with your Bose earbuds. Firmware updates do not take place regularly but if they do happen, it can really make a difference in the quality of sound and even the volume you are hearing.
When firmware is updated, it is essentially the software that is running the device and the apps that may be running on your mobile device. Various enhancements may be possible using these firmware updates, and sometimes it can even adjust the max volume level.
The Bose website is the best option for updating any firmware. They may offer a download package that can be used to automatically update the firmware and even the app or settings.
Look for an option to sign up to be notified of any firmware updates for your earbuds. Doing so can help you to keep up with the latest at all times.
Why Your Bose Earbuds Volume Is Low
Although there are many different reasons why the volume in your earbuds may be too low, there are some that may occur, regardless of the make or model.
One of the common reasons for low volume in earbuds is due to the device being blocked by earwax, dirt, or even insects. This problem can be fixed by gently cleaning the inside of the earbud opening with a toothpick or another device, but caution is needed to avoid puncturing anything. In some cases, taking apart the earbuds may be necessary to clean them completely, but this could void the warranty if they are new.
1. Blocked Buds: One of the more common reasons why you may have low volume in your earbuds is due to the device being blocked. Some common reasons why this occurs is due to earwax, dirt, or even insects.
The way to fix this problem is relatively straightforward, but you still need to be cautious when doing so. You can use a toothpick or another device to gently clean the inside of the earbud opening, but you need to be cautious that you don’t puncture anything as a result.
In some cases, you may have to take apart the earbuds to get them cleaned completely. If you do so, you could be voiding the warranty if they are new.
2. Ear Canal: Each of us is unique and this also means that we have a unique shape to our ear canal. Although earbuds are made to provide us with sound, it does not always do it in the same way for each person.
Some people have small ear canals and other people have large ear canals. They may also be shallow or deep. In any case, there are times when it may be necessary to adjust the earbuds according to our ear canal.
Typically, earbuds come with various fittings that are interchangeable. These can go a long way in helping you to hear the sound better and even to have a better fit.
3. Earbud Mods: When you buy earbuds, they become a part of your style. Some people may buy aftermarket modifications in order to make them more stylish or unique.
These mods can change the way earbuds look but they also can change the way they work. In some cases, the mods may not be conducive to giving you the best experience with sound.
It’s important to express your individuality but if it is interfering with your ability to hear the sound from your earbuds, you may want to find another way to do so.
4. Distortion: There may be times when you are not perceiving the sound as well as you could because of audio distortion. This can be a difficult problem, but it is also fixable.
Try looking at any app that comes with the earbuds or is being used for a way to adjust the frequencies. Sometimes, it is subsonic frequencies that cause the sound to be audible but may affect the way you hear it.
It may also be possible to remove some distortion by changing the way you wear your earbuds. Some minor adjustments to how they enter the ear canal can make a big difference.
General Fix For Bose Earbuds Volume That is Too Low
We live in a world that is built on technology. We use it with our mobile devices, including our smartphones, iPods, and other audio devices.
When you have a problem with those audio devices and the volume isn’t as high as it should be, there are things you can do to make the adjustment.
A potential cause of low volume in earbuds could be the presence of earwax or other debris in the speaker of the earbud. A solution to this issue is to gently clean the earbuds using a dry cotton swab or a brush with soft bristles, ensuring not to damage the speaker in the process.
You can also try increasing the earbud volume when it is too low by making adjustments in the associated app. Adjusting the volume directly can make the difference you desire. You can also adjust the equalizer or any preset options to get more volume out of the same earbuds.
When technology doesn’t work to our advantage, it can be frustrating but there are always options to make a difference. Even an old set of earbuds can give adequate volume output when everything is set properly.
Conclusion
We all want to get the most out of our listing experience when using earbuds. They allow us to immerse ourselves in the sound, regardless of whether we are listening to music, a podcast, or any other audio.
Low volume on earbuds is directly connected to a problem with the associated app. This could be an app made directly by the earbud manufacturer, or it could be a secondary app used for playing music or podcasts.

If you aren’t able to adjust the volume to a higher level using the app, try using the rocker switch on the side of the mobile device or turning up the volume directly. Any integrated controls used with the earbuds should also be scrutinized carefully.
Problems with the internal components are few and far between but they can occur with earbuds at times. This could include having the earpiece blocked by earwax or even if the earbud is not fitting properly in your ear canal.
Little adjustments in the earbuds or the associated technology can make big differences in the volume. As you are making adjustments, always be careful that you do so gradually so as to save your hearing in case it turns up quickly.
The responsible use of earbuds is something that we are reminded of frequently. This includes the volume level, but when you need the volume level higher, make some adjustments and get back to your listening enjoyment.
