Samsung in February unveiled the Galaxy Buds, wireless Bluetooth headphones designed to compete with Apple's AirPods. Starting at $130, Galaxy Buds are cheaper than AirPods, which retail for $159 with similar features.
AirPods pair with basically any Bluetooth-enabled device. On your Android device, go to Settings > Connections/Connected Devices > Bluetooth and make sure Bluetooth is on. Then open the AirPods case, tap the white button on the back and hold the case near the Android device.
Samsung invested time and money into this as well: the company put four microphones on its buds, with two of them on the interior, designed to pick up the user's voice from inside their head.
Water resistanceThe earbuds are not water resistant and not suitable for use in water. If they get some sweat or rain on them, you should clean them immediately.
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.
Unlike past Samsung earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Live do not fully insert into your ears. So, how are they able to block out sound? The answer is Active noise cancelling. When this feature is turned on, it will block out noise in the nearby area, so you can be fully immersed in your music.
In addition to gaining true iPhone support, the Galaxy Buds+ have a battery life that's nearly double that of the original Galaxy Buds. Because of the larger battery inside the earbuds (85 mAh compared to 58 mAh), and optimization via new hardware, the Galaxy Buds+ can achieve up to 11 hours of battery life.
They sound decent, battery life is good (around 6 hours at moderate volume levels) and their compact charging case offers USB-C wired and wireless charging. The bottom line Although their sound quality doesn't wow, the Galaxy Buds are certainly worth considering if you're a Samsung Galaxy or Android phone owner.
The Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Buds Plus have very similar features, but all in all, the Galaxy Buds Plus are the better buy. They boast better battery life, audio quality, and isolation, even without any ANC. The Galaxy Buds Live have very slightly better microphone quality, but the Galaxy Buds Plus are cheaper.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus will come free with Galaxy S20 Plus – if you preorder. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus will reportedly come free when you preorder one of the brand's more expensive S20 smartphones, which are due to be unveiled on February 11 at Samsung's Unpacked 2020.
Be ready to open your walletWith the original Galaxy Buds, you could reach out to Samsung's support team, or find a Service Center and purchase a single replacement earbud. After confirming with Samsung Support, if you misplace or lose an earbud, you will have to purchase a new set.
How to turn off the galaxy buds? When we finish using the Samsung galaxy buds, put the earbuds into the charging box, the indicator light will light up to show that the charging is being charged, the charging box will be closed and the galaxy buds will automatically enter the shutdown state and turned off.
Samsung does not directly sell replacement charging cases for the Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Buds Plus, or Galaxy Buds Live products, so in order to get a brand new case, you'll have to order an entirely new set.
If your headphones are connected to your phone, then you can play loud music to find them. You can also trace them, depending on the type of headphone that you have.
Earbuds can't be searched on your mobile device:Close the charging case again and open it to enter the Bluetooth pairing mode. Ensure that your earbuds and the other Bluetooth device are within the Bluetooth connection range (10m or 32ft).
Method 1: Charge your Galaxy Buds with USB cableThe Galaxy Buds can make use of USB charging just like most electronic gadgets are capable of right now. In fact, this is the main option to charge your earbuds.
Hold your Android phone or tablet in front of you and walk very very slowly around the area where you lost your headset or headphones. As you walk around the app will display how close you are to the lost headphones using Cold, Warmer, and Hot indicators. Hot – You are right next to your lost headphones.
You can pair the Galaxy Buds with a Windows 10 machine by first opening the Start Menu and searching "Bluetooth." Click Bluetooth and other device settings (alternatively, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices). Click Add Bluetooth or other device, then select Bluetooth from the pop-up window.
Open the Galaxy Wearable app by swipe up or down on the Home screen to access the Apps screen. Tap the Samsung folder, and then touch Galaxy Wearable. To start looking for the misplaced Galaxy Buds, tap Find My Earbuds. Tap Start.
