Low audio from product
If the volume level heard from your product is faint or quieter than normal, try the following:
Be sure the earbuds are being worn properly
Proper fit is important for product comfort and performance. If the earbuds do not fit properly or the orientation is incorrect it could lead to poor audio or mic performance. See, Wearing and adjusting your earbuds for more details.
An open-ear design may not be perceived as loud as a closed-ear design.
Open-ear headphones and earbuds sit outside of the ear canal and direct sound inward. This allows the user to still hear and observe his or her surroundings. Unlike in-ear and around-ear designs there is no intended audio isolation, by design. This may result in an audio experience that may be perceived as lower than traditional around-ear or in-ear headphones.
Try a different app.
If the issue only occurs with a particular app, it is likely related to the app or app settings.
Try playing different types of media.
Different media types might produce different quality sound. For example, Podcasts, music stored locally on your phone, MP3s, streaming music services (Spotify, Pandora), videos on your device or stored in the cloud, etc. can all vary in quality. Try different media to determine if the issue is specific to certain media.
