How Do I Connect My Samsung Earbuds to My Laptop?
Opening the case of your Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Buds Live, or Galaxy Buds Pro should trigger an automatic popup to pair them with your compatible Samsung Galaxy device. But what if you want to connect your Galaxy Buds to a laptop so that you can use them while working or studying?
In order to connect your Samsung earbuds to a laptop, you’ll need to follow a few simple steps, each of which is slightly different depending on which operating system you’re currently using.
How to Connect Samsung Earbuds to a Windows PC Laptop
Microsoft Windows PCs will have slightly different instructions based on which version of the OS you are running, but the steps outlined below will get you to the appropriate menus.
1. It is sufficient to open the case to activate pairing mode, even if you have never used your earbuds with a device before. If you previously paired them with a phone or another device, insert the earbuds into your ears and press and hold both touchpads until you hear a series of beeps indicating that you are in pairing mode, which should take about a minute.
2. Go to the Devices menu on your laptop and select it. When using Windows 10, this option can be found in the Settings menu.
3. After that, select Bluetooth & other devices (if it hasn’t already been done so).
4. From this menu, you’ll select Add Bluetooth or other device, and as long as your Samsung Buds are in pairing mode (as described in step 1), they’ll appear in this list of devices.
5. Windows 10 allows you to add a Bluetooth or other device option to the Bluetooth & other devices menu.
Then select them, and your Galaxy Buds will be automatically connected to your laptop. After that, when you turn them back on, they should automatically boot into this laptop.
How to Connect Samsung Earbuds to a Mac Laptop
All Mac laptops running macOS operate in the same way, and you must navigate to the Bluetooth menu in order to use Bluetooth. Here’s how you can go about it.
1. It is sufficient to open the case to activate pairing mode, even if you have never used your earbuds with a device before. If you previously paired them with a phone or another device, insert the earbuds into your ears and press and hold both touchpads until you hear a series of beeps indicating that you are in pairing mode, which should take about a minute.
2. On a Mac, the Bluetooth icon can be found in the System Preferences window.
The earbuds should appear at the bottom of the devices list, beneath a thin grey bar, as long as they are in pairing mode, as described in step 1. The Samsung buds are now connected when you click the Connect button next to them. When you turn them back on, they should automatically boot into this laptop.
3. The Bluetooth menus of all other devices that are currently paired with your earbuds should always be visited for a more straightforward pairing process. To do so, locate your Galaxy Earbuds on the list of Bluetooth devices and choose Forget or Unpair from the drop-down menu. This will make it easier for them to enter pairing mode in the future.
