If your Galaxy Buds Pro aren't fitting right or the sound seems off, start with the ear tips. Samsung's proprietary locking system can make swapping tips tricky, but I've found that pressing firmly while twisting counterclockwise usually does the trick.

The key is to apply even pressure around the entire tip base rather than pulling from one side.
Key Points
- Adjust the Equalizer Settings: Open the Galaxy Wearable app and head to the sound settings.
- Improve Call Quality: Make sure you're wearing both earbuds during calls, as the microphone array uses input from both sides.
- Extend Battery Life: Turn off adaptive noise cancellation when you don't need it.
- Fix Connectivity Issues: If certain features aren't working, check your phone compatibility.
- Optimize Noise Cancellation: Run the adaptive sound test in a quiet room first.
- Clean the Earbuds Properly: Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe down the metal stems and charging contacts.
Once you've got the right size in place, run the fit test in the Galaxy Wearable app. This will tell you if you're getting a proper seal, which affects everything from noise cancellation to bass response.
A good fit should feel snug but not painful, and you shouldn't hear much outside noise when music is paused.
Adjust the Equalizer Settings
Open the Galaxy Wearable app and head to the sound settings. The default profile works for most people, but if your music sounds thin or bass-heavy, try switching to the Dynamic preset.
This boosts both highs and lows while keeping mids clear, which I've found works well across different music genres.
For more control, tap on the equalizer and create a custom profile. If calls sound fuzzy to the other person, try reducing the bass frequencies slightly and boosting the mids around 1-2kHz.
This can help your voice cut through background noise better during conversations.
Improve Call Quality
Make sure you're wearing both earbuds during calls, as the microphone array uses input from both sides. The bone conduction sensors need proper contact with your skin to filter out background noise effectively.
If people say you sound distant, try speaking a bit louder and more clearly than normal.
Check that voice detection is enabled in the app's ambient sound settings. This feature automatically lowers music volume when you start talking, making it easier for the microphones to pick up your voice.
You can also enable sidetone if you want to hear your own voice during calls.
Extend Battery Life
Turn off adaptive noise cancellation when you don't need it. The constant processing required for ANC drains the battery faster, and you can save about an hour of playback by switching to regular mode in quiet environments.
I usually keep ANC off at home and only enable it when commuting or in noisy offices.
Make sure the earbuds are properly seated in the charging case. The clear lid lets you see if they're making contact, but sometimes dust or lint can prevent a good connection.
Give the charging pins a quick wipe with a dry cloth every couple of weeks to maintain optimal charging.
Fix Connectivity Issues
If certain features aren't working, check your phone compatibility. Many advanced features like Ultra High Quality audio and head gestures require a Samsung phone running One UI 6.1.1 or later.
Non-Samsung devices will still work for basic playback and calls, but you'll miss out on some premium features.
For pairing problems, hold the button on the back of the case for about 10 seconds until the LED flashes. This resets the Bluetooth connection without deleting your settings.
Then open your phone's Bluetooth menu and select the buds from the available devices list.
Optimize Noise Cancellation
Run the adaptive sound test in a quiet room first. The calibration process works best when there's minimal background noise to confuse the sensors.
Once it's set up, the system will automatically adjust based on your environment, but you can always switch to manual mode for more control.
If noise cancellation seems weak, try different ear tip sizes again. A proper seal is crucial for passive noise blocking, which works alongside the active cancellation.
You should notice a significant difference when switching between ANC on and off in moderately noisy environments.
Clean the Earbuds Properly
Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe down the metal stems and charging contacts. Avoid getting moisture in the microphone ports or speaker grilles.
For stubborn earwax buildup, a slightly damp cloth with plain water works better than alcohol-based cleaners, which can damage the waterproof seals.
The transparent case lid shows fingerprints easily, but a microfiber cloth cleans it right up. Don't use window cleaner or other chemicals on the plastic, as they can cause clouding over time.
Just a quick wipe when you notice smudges keeps everything looking fresh.
