How to wear Galaxy Buds Pro properly
For the best sound quality and regular functioning, it is very important to place the Galaxy Buds Pro perfectly in your ears. If you don't wear the earbuds properly, they may not work, or sound quality may be poor.
Hold the earbuds so that you see the imprinted direction marks, insert the earbuds into your ears, and then adjust the earbuds by rotating them until they sit comfortably in your ears. The touch-sensitive sensors will detect that you are wearing the earbuds when you put them on.
Then, the earbud will emit a sound informing you that the earbud is detected. A correct fit will give you the best sound and active noise cancelling.
Note: If the earbuds’ touch feature becomes unresponsive or touch sound doesn’t work, the earbuds are not positioned correctly in your ears, and the touch-sensitive sensor is not in contact with your ear. Use the ear tips that best fit your ears if you do not hear a sound informing you that the earbud is detected.
How to attach an ear tip to your Galaxy Buds Pro
Your Galaxy Buds Pro come with soft, flexible silicone tips in different sizes. To attach an ear tip, follow the steps below.
Step 1. Select the ear tip that fits your ear.
Step 2. Align the latch at the bottom of the earbud and groove of the ear tip. Then cover the latch with the ear tips.
If there is a gap between the ear tip and the earbud, sound may leak out and the earbuds' performance may be poor. Please make sure that the ear tips and the earbud grooves fit properly.
Please Note:
- Do not put the earbuds in your ears without ear tips. Doing so may hurt your ears.
- Do not pull the ear tip excessively when you attach or detach it. The ear tip may tear.
- Do not press the ear tip excessively or twist it. The ear tip may be damaged.
Using the touch feature
If the touch function malfunctions even though the earbuds are being properly worn, check whether the correct touch area is used. Refer to the image below for the touch area of the Galaxy Buds Pro.
Note:
- To avoid hurting your ears, do not apply excessive pressure to the earbuds with your fingertips.
- To avoid damaging the touch areas, do not touch the earbuds with anything sharp.

Tips for poor audio issues
If the device has been exposed to water or moisture, sound may not be heard clearly because water may get inside the earbuds during exposure underwater.
If the device gets wet, please dry it thoroughly by wiping it with a clean, soft cloth and shake gently to remove the water from the devices.
