Under the gear icon, you will find some info, like the phone call, media audio, HD audio, and contact share. If the phone call option is toggled off, you might not be able to use the earbuds to make a call, so you have to toggle it on. And we recommend you toggle on the contact share option too.

Clean The Microphone Holes

The next step is to clean the microphone holes. How do you have the holes, take your earbuds and check underneath it, you will find a tiny hole underneath the earbuds. These holes get clogged up, because of the sweat and dust they encounter. If you use your earbuds every time, this is one common issue the earbuds we all encounter.

To get the holes cleaned, you will need a methylated spirit and a cotton bud. Get the tip of the cotton bud into the spirit and get a little quantity. Please ensure to squeeze the cotton bud to prevent the spirit from getting into the holes. Next, take one of the earbuds and use the cotton to gently clean the surface and blow it. Do the same thing to the other earbud too.

The next thing to do is to get a thing item that can go into the holes like a set pin. Use the pin to clear the hole, if you have some dirt in the holes, the pin will help get them out. Please be careful when doing this so that you will not ruin the mic of the earbuds. Once you are done with the clearing, allow the earbuds to dry out. Now use them to make a call, this time it should work. And if it is not still working the next step is to reset the earbuds. You can check out how to reset the Oraimo earbuds here.
