Samsung Galaxy Buds are a wireless earbuds released by Samsung in early 2019. They are designed to be used with the Samsung Galaxy S10 and other newer Samsung smartphones. The earbuds feature a wireless charging case, touch-sensitive controls, and support for Bixby and Google Assistant.
The Galaxy Buds have received mixed reviews. Some reviewers like the design and sound quality, while others find them uncomfortable to wear and criticize the lack of features compared to other wireless earbuds on the market.
There are a few reasons why one side of your Galaxy Buds may be quieter. One possibility is a poor connection between the buds, which can be caused by either a problem with their pairing or physical damage to the connector. Another possibility is that there are issues with the Bluetooth connection between your Galaxy Buds and your mobile device. If so, you can try troubleshooting steps to address the problem.

In my case, I used simple cleaning wipes like the one below. You need to remove silicone earbud tips and clean them using a wipe with alcohol:
To clean your Galaxy Buds, gently wipe them with a soft cloth or use the cleaning tool that comes with the earbuds. You can also use a damp cloth to remove stubborn dirt or earwax. If your Galaxy Buds are still not working correctly after cleaning them, you may need to replace the earbuds.
