Galaxy Buds / Galaxy Buds+ are wireless earbuds that allow you to listen to music and answer calls no matter what you're doing. Once your Galaxy Buds / Galaxy Buds+ have been set up and paired, all you need to do is open the charging case and your devices will automatically connect.
All Bluetooth devices need to pair before they can connect and transfer information. On an Android device, the
SmartThings
and
Galaxy Wearable
apps make it quick and easy to connect your devices. On other devices such as with PCs or TVs, you will need to pair your Galaxy Buds / Galaxy Buds+ manually. Once your devices are paired they will remember the connection and connect automatically the next time they are used. You can easily switch between any device that is already paired to your Galaxy Buds / Galaxy Buds+.
To connect your Galaxy Buds / Galaxy Buds+ to another Samsung device, you should first download the
SmartThings
app and make sure that your device is running the latest version and that your device is logged in to your Samsung Account. The instructions below are for Samsung devices running Android 7.1.1 or later.
To connect your Galaxy Buds / Galaxy Buds+ to a non-Samsung Android device, you should first download the
Galaxy Wearable
app from the Google Play Store.
Once your Galaxy Buds / Galaxy Buds+ have been connected, they will automatically try and connect to your device every time you open the charging case while the earbuds are inside. Any device that is signed in to your Samsung Account will be able to automatically connect to your Galaxy Buds / Galaxy Buds+.
Please note:
Bluetooth will need to be turned on on your non-Android device in order to pair.
The location of the Bluetooth settings and the steps to pair a new device will differ depending on your device. Please refer to your device instructions for more details.
If your Galaxy Buds don't pair within three minutes after the charging case has been opened, they will stop actively pairing. Close and then reopen the case to begin pairing again.
To avoid any issues connecting your earbuds, your devices should be placed close to each other.
Your earbuds should be kept within Bluetooth connection range (10 metres) of your device. This distance may differ depending on where you are using your devices.
Make sure that there isn't anything between the earbuds and connected device. This includes human bodies, walls, corners and fences.
Do not touch the Bluetooth antenna of a connected device.
Bluetooth uses the same frequency as some industrial, scientific, medical and low power products. Interference may occur when using your device near these products.
Some devices that have not been tested or approved by the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) may not be compatible with the earbuds.
Galaxy Buds / Buds + cannot connect to multiple devices simultaneously but can quickly switch between devices. Once your devices are paired, they will connect automatically the next time they are used. There is no need to disconnect and reconnect with a second device. Instead, simply select "Galaxy Buds / Buds +" from the list of paired devices in the Bluetooth settings on the device that you would like to listen to.
