The Galaxy Buds 2 listing page on Samsung's website states that you'll need an app to manage and control the Buds 2 on a Windows PC, but I can't find it in the Microsoft Store.

The Galaxy Buds 2 can work with non Android devices, it just takes a little more effort. With Gaming Mode turned on, your Buds 2 and phone will reduce the latency when transmitting audio and should do a better job of matching the sounds to what you see on your phone's screen. If you game a lot on your phone, go to Settings > Labs and turn on Gaming Mode.

It's in the Settings section where you can adjust how the earbuds sound, select which apps the earbuds will read your notifications to you from, enable Bixby or update the Buds 2 software.
While you're in the Settings section of the Wearable app, take a few minutes to check it out. The test took less than 5 seconds to run and confirmed that the default tips are the right size for my ears. Once it's done, the app will tell you if you have the right fit or if you need to change tips. You'll hear a chime sound as the progress bar moves across your phone's screen. With both earbuds in your ears, tap Start. On the Settings page, find Earbud fit test and select it. Out of the box, the Buds 2 have the medium ear tips installed, and you can easily change them just by pulling them off and then pushing a different size on.īefore you do that, though, open the Wearable app and tap Earbud settings. Samsung built a new tool for the Buds 2 that helps you find the right fit with the changeable ear tips that come in the box with your Buds 2. There's a new proper fit tool that makes sure you're using the right ear tips. If you don't see the battery status, make sure your earbuds are connected to your phone.

How to check battery lifeĬhecking the current battery life status of your earbuds and/or the case is as simple as opening the Wearable app and looking for the charge percentage of each device at the top of the screen. Once selected, you'll see a slider show up underneath the controls - that slider makes it possible to control how much ambient sound is let through. To test it out, open the Wearable app on your phone and select Ambient sound from the Noise controls section. When you use the app you're given extra control over ambient sound mode. You can switch between ANC and ambient with a long press on either earbud, or you can open the Wearable app to make the change. I've personally used this kind of mode when ridging a bike on a street so I can hear as cars approach, or when in an airport and I'm waiting for boarding instructions. Ambient sound mode is nearly the exact opposite of ANC - when in use, you can still listen to music, but the earbuds will let in some of the background noise. ANC comes in handy when you're working in a noisy environment and want to focus on the task at hand. The Buds 2 are some of the cheapest wireless earbuds to offer both active noise cancellation and an ambient sound mode. To turn any of the touch controls on or off, or to customize the touch and hold gesture, open the Wearable app and select Touch Controls.Īdjust active noise cancellation and ambient sound mode Tap: Play/Pause Double-tap: Play next track Triple-tap: Play previous track Touch and hold: Switch between active noise canceling and ambient sound You can turn off touch controls altogether in the Wearable app if you want, but I find them useful, and I'm sure after using them for a few days you will too. There's a giant touchpad on each earbud that you can use to play or pause music, skip tracks or change listening modes without having to use the Wearable app. Use the touchpads on the side of each earbud to control playback. Either method works and is impressively quick. To do that, open the Wearable app and then select Add new device and then follow the prompts. If you don't see the prompt, you can either close the case for a second or two and try again or manually pair the Buds 2 to your phone.
Tap Connect and then follow the rest of the prompts, which likely includes downloading a Buds 2 plug-in for the Wearable app.
A prompt will show up on your phone letting you know it has found the earbuds and ask if you want to connect them to your phone. To pair your Buds 2 to your Android phone, place the Buds 2 case (with the buds inside it) next to your phone.
