Check the volume level on both your connected device and the earbuds. Ensure the earbuds are properly seated in your ears. Re-pair the earbuds if necessary. - Charging issues:
Verify the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the charging case and the power source. Try a different charging cable or power adapter. Ensure the charging contacts on the earbuds and case are clean. - Call quality issues:
