If your Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Buds+, Galaxy Buds Live, or Gear IconX earbuds have no or low volume and poor sound quality on one or both buds, there may be a couple reasons why. You might be wearing the earbuds incorrectly, or the buds could have accumulated dust or debris.
Samsung Galaxy Buds are not waterproof, or even rated as appreciably water resistant, and should be kept as dry as possible at all times. If your Galaxy Buds do get wet, you should dry them as much as you can and as fast as you can and then set them aside for a few hours to fully dry them out before use.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live noise-cancelling true wireless earbuds dropped on August 6, 2020. The new bean-shaped buds have active noise-cancelling, which pits them directly against the AirPods Pro.

Performing a restart on the
earbuds, resetting the Bluetooth connection, or updating the
Galaxy Wearable app will normally

Software updates with the Galaxy Wearable app

Make sure the mobile device is within 10m or 32ft of the Galaxy Buds+ when you make the attempt to pair the devices together. Restart the mobile device and relaunch the Galaxy Wearable app. If only a single earbud is connected to your mobile device, restart the earbuds to connect both of them.

Both buds have dual microphones, but the AirPods isolated the voice better in the call while the Galaxy Buds let in more ambient noise. The AirPods sounded much clearer and louder to the person on the other line. Winner: Galaxy Buds for sound quality, AirPods get points for call quality.
Yes, you can use it on your Note9, however, you won't be able to charge it with your phone, you'll have to charge it with your phone's charger. I use the Galaxy Buds with a Galaxy S9; I'll presume the Note 9 interfaces the same way, in which case they'll work just fine.
Once the power is used up, you must pop the earbuds back in their charging case to top up their charge by using power from a battery built into the charging case. Ideally, you need to know how long you can listen to the earbuds before they need to go back in their case for a recharge.
