6. Clean the Earbuds
You may not believe it, but dust is the most common cause your Jabra Elite 85t is not loud enough. If you work in a dusty environment, your device catches debris very easily.
However, in normal circumstances, it traps tiny dust particles. Over time, they accumulate to block the speaker grill. Thus, you need to clean your earbuds thoroughly.
Take a soft-bristled toothbrush and rub it gently over the speaker perforations to remove the dust. Another pro tip is to suck your earbuds.
This will remove the trapped earwax that may be causing blocking the sound. Always store your earbuds in their charging case with the lid closed.
Moreover, avoid putting the earbuds in wet ears as moisture can damage the device.

Pair them with another Bluetooth device and check the loudness. If it is fine, troubleshoot your current device.
Moreover, make sure you have not connected your earbuds to 2 devices at a time. Because the signals from both devices may interrupt each other.
For example, you may have paired your Jabra Elite 85t to your phone for listening calls and to a computer for listening to music simultaneously.
Shifting repeatedly between two devices can also create problems. Unpair them from one device and test the loudness.
