My left earbud is really quiet especially compared to the right one. What do I do

Do Nothing
Sorry to hear that your left earbud sounds quieter than the right one — this may happen due to earwax or dust blocking the speaker mesh, audio balance settings, or a Bluetooth connection issue. Please try the following steps:
Remove the ear tips and gently clean the metal mesh filter. You can use a few drops of rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth or Q‑tip to wipe the affected area carefully. This helps clear any blockage that may cause uneven sound.
Make sure the charging case has enough power and then reset the earbuds:
• Open the charging case and take out both earbuds.
• Press and hold the touch areas on both earbuds simultaneously for 10 seconds until you see a reset indicator or light flash.
Check your phone’s audio balance:
• On Android: Settings → Accessibility → Audio and On‑Screen Text → Audio → Balance.
• On iPhone: Settings → Accessibility → Audio/Visual → Audio Balance.
• On Samsung: Settings → Accessibility → Hearing Enhancements → Connected Audio.
Note: Shifting the balance left makes the left earbud louder and the right quieter; shifting right makes the right louder and the left quieter.
Try connecting to a different Bluetooth device to see if the issue remains — this helps identify if the problem lies in the earbuds or your phone’s settings.
If none of these methods solve it, the earbud may need technical inspection or replacement.
