Pocket lint and dust can reduce clarity. The goal is to remove loose surface material without forcing it through the grille.
Start with simple checks
Remove any case blocking the opening, check Bluetooth routing, and center the audio balance.
Safe surface cleaning
- Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning guidance.
- Hold the device so debris can fall away.
- Use a clean, dry, very soft brush with gentle strokes.
- Stop if material is packed in or the grille is damaged.
Can sound eject dust?
Vibration may shift a loose particle but cannot reliably pull compacted lint or sticky residue. Try the speaker dust cleaning sound only as a low-effort check.
Avoid
Do not use sharp objects, adhesives, compressed air, unapproved liquids, or hard scrubbing.
