There are two rubber parts on Samsung Earbuds that can be changed: the wing tip, and the ear bud. These are the rubber attachments that come in different sizes. When your Samsung Earbuds have the right sized wingtips and earbuds they will fit snugly into your ear, and feel very secure.
This creates a seal that makes the sound quality MUCH better than ill fitting wingtips or earbuds. Here’s a video from Samsung that shows how to change the wingtip and earbud on your Samsung Earbuds:
Provided the wingtip and earbuds are the right size, if the sound is still muffled, then update the app on your phone. When they’re still muffled, take them to your Samsung store, or contact Samsung support to report the issue.

Samsung Earbuds Too Quiet
The volume on your Samsung Earbuds are capable of being so loud that they can hurt your ears. Therefore, if your Samsung Earbuds are too quiet it means there’s an issue that you need to get to the bottom of. This is how to troubleshoot your Samsung Earbuds when they’re too quiet.
In general, the ear buds are not pressed into your ear enough, the ear buds or wingtips are the wrong size, or the volume limiter needs to be set higher on your phone. When the wingtips and rubber earbuds are the right size they should create a seal on the inside of your ear.
Your Samsung Earbuds can also need to be turned up on the earbuds.
Otherwise, if they’re still too quiet then take them to a Samsung store, or contact Samsung support through the official Samsung website.
Samsung Earbuds Too Loud
When your Samsung Earbuds are too loud it hurts, and you can do damage to our ears. If they’re set correctly they should be a comfortable volume, and you can also change a setting so that they never go too loud.

Overall, start by checking the sound volume settings on your phone, and the sound settings on the Samsung Sound Assistant App. Restart your phone and your Samsung earbuds. The, turn off media volume sync in the Bluetooth settings, explained below.
There are also some hidden settings that may be causing the issue. These are the Bluetooth absolute volume settings. To change it you need to first enable developer options on your device if it isn’t already enabled.
Settings > Scroll to ‘About phone’ > Software Information > Tap on ‘Build Number’ 7 times.
It will then ask you to put in your pin, or swipe code. After that go back to the Settings and at the very bottom there will be a new option that says ‘Developer Options’. Before disabling the absolute volume there is one other setting that needs to be changed first.
To do that go to Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > tap the three dots on the top right for more options > Medium Volume Sync > Turn this off. Now go into the Developer Options at the bottom of the Settings menu. Look for the setting that says ‘disable absolute volume.’
Enable this to disable the absolute volume for Bluetooth. If the volume is still too loud on the lowest volume setting then take your Samsung Earbuds to a Samsung store. Or, get in contact with Samsung support on their official website.
Samsung Earbuds Making Noise
In some cases, your Samsung Earbuds can make a beep or a static noise that happens all the time, or every now and then. This is what to do if your Samsung earbuds are making a noise.
In general, if there is static when nothing is playing then restart your Samsung Earbuds, and your smartphone. Then unpair and re-pair them over Bluetooth. They can also beep as part of normal operation if they get too hot, and at the end of a phone call.
If they beep randomly then they can be too hot. When this happens you should immediately stop using them and let them cool off. You can guess this is what is causing the beep if they feel hot, or if you accidentally left them in direct sunlight, or next to a heat source like a heater.
Samsung recommends checking there is no pending software update for the Samsung Sound Assistant app, the Samsung Wearable app, and your Samsung device. If you’re still getting static, restart your Samsung Earbuds, and your Samsung smartphone.
Then check if there is a pending update for the Samsung Wearable app, or the Samsung Sound Assist app. Provided you do each of these steps, then they can be faulty and you should get in touch with Samsung support via the Samsung website. Or, take them to a Samsung store.
