Volume Controls

Former Member over 5 years ago

I recently got a garmin forerunner 245 for Christmas and was so excited to utilize the music features. However, I am having trouble changing the volume on the watch. Is there a way to do this or do I need to get new bluetooth headphones that have volume controls? Any help would be appreciated.

While in the music widget, you press "Up" button which activates the 3-button menu and should then bring up the volume controls

You should be able to adjust the volume from your watch

This screen doesn't come up on my watch. I've been through all of the screens and maybe I just can't find it?

What brand/model headphones are you using?

Hello,

I was wondering what is the model of your bluetooth headphones.

I am considering the Jaybird Vista or the JBL reflect flow. Any idea ?

Thanks

I used to use the Jaybird X3, but had terrible luck with them not holding a charge then eventually becoming unusable. This usually happened within 3 months. I've since gone to the Jabra Elite Active 65t. I've had no issues with the Jabra for over a year. They sound great and always work.

Thanks. No issues with the earbud holding in your ears ?

Both Jaybird and Jabra fit my ears pretty well.
