Earbuds too quiet with Android phones (How to fix)

In this video we explain how to turn the music audio volume of your earbuds or headphones louder, when we are using the earbuds with our Android smartphone (e.g. Samsung Android phone).
One problem may be the 'Media Volume Limit' setting, which can be found hidden in the Sound Settings menus.
It is also possible that the opening of the earbuds (where the sound normally comes out) is blocked with dust, dirt and earwax. In that case we can simply clean the opening in order to repair our earbuds.

My earphones were at perfect volume until one day they suddenly plummeted.

The irony is that I can't hear this video to fix the problem.

That's the same controls that come up when you press the volume button! 🥴

What if I don't have that three button setting in my audio settings?

My bluetooth earbuds are for some reason only quiet on my phone, yet have the normal volume on my labtop, if i put both at full volume on my phone they aren't even the normal halfway full level

[tarenbaldivia]

What if i cant find a "media volume limit, i have a nokia g50 so does it not have that setting? Im so confused

[JamesHartwell]

All earbuds I've tried with my phone are just a fair amount quieter than wired earphones. Not sure why, but the tech seems to not allow super loud volume.

[BruhMrog]

[kinonplays]

[harshsoni]

[TOOMUCHSAUCE]

I have jbl endurance earphones and they have been some of the lowest sound quality earphones I've ever bought. I honestly regret buying them. I bought Brookstone for like $15 and sound much louder

[sltoftheearth]

tysm i thought my earbuds were genuinely ass

[gretre]

Phones just don't allow high volume in headphones anymore. It's all this hypersensitivity to "safety" and the lawyers... destroyed everything

[MadMadMandy]

My 4 day old jbl earbuds are so low, it is not enjoyable for me to use. My android (Huawei 2017....) phone does not have a max limit thing.
Not sure if im deaf or in ear headsets just sucks big time

No such options exist on Android now, so these instruction are now useless. The Developer mode override option also does nothing anymore. If you are here looking for a fix you will never find one because they have hobbled the volume at low levels so stupid kids do not damage their precious liitle ears - while us older adults have to buy wired fkn battery amplified headphones. So if your expensive earpods were once much louder... now you know why they are borked now.
