The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 are wireless earbuds designed for an enhanced audio experience, offering features for music playback, call management, and noise control. They are accompanied by a charging case that also serves as a portable charger for the earbuds.
The primary function of the Galaxy Buds2 is to provide wireless audio playback and communication. When connected to a smartphone, they allow users to listen to music, videos, and other audio files. The earbuds feature a built-in microphone for making and receiving phone calls. Intelligent noise controls are integrated to manage the listening environment, offering active noise canceling and ambient sound features. The earbuds are controlled through touch-sensitive areas on each bud, providing shortcuts for various functions without needing to interact directly with the connected phone.
To begin using the Galaxy Buds2, users must first charge the battery. The earbuds are placed into the charging case, which can then be charged via a USB cable or a wireless charger. The charging case and earbuds charge simultaneously. LED indicators on the case and earbuds display the battery status, with green indicating fully charged, red indicating charging, and flashing red signaling a charging error.
A convenient feature is Wireless PowerShare, which allows users to wirelessly charge the Galaxy Buds2 using a supported Samsung smartphone. By enabling the Wireless PowerShare feature on the phone and placing the charging case on the back of the phone, the earbuds can be charged on the go. It's recommended to remove any accessories or covers from the phone for optimal charging.
Before wearing, ear tips must be attached to the earbuds for a comfortable fit and optimal sound. Users should select the appropriate size and hook the ear tip's groove to the earbud's fixation hook, gently pulling to cover the earbud.
For a comfortable and secure fit, the earbuds should be inserted into the ears with the ear tips facing downwards. Direction marks on the earbuds help ensure correct placement. The Galaxy Wearable app offers an "Earbud fit test" to help users optimize their fit.
If one earbud is lost and replaced, the old and new earbuds can be coupled together. This involves placing both earbuds in the charging case, then tapping and holding the touch area on both earbuds for seven seconds or more until the earbud battery indicator light flashes green and turns off, signaling successful coupling.
To connect the earbuds to a smartphone, the Galaxy Wearable app must be installed on the phone. After opening the charging case to enter Bluetooth pairing mode (or by pressing and holding the touch areas on both earbuds), users can select their device in the Galaxy Wearable app to complete the connection. The app is compatible with Android 7.0 and later devices with at least 1.5 GB RAM. Earbud pairing information can be synced across other Samsung account-linked devices.
To disconnect the earbuds from the phone, users can access the Galaxy Wearable app, tap "Menu," and then select "Disconnect" by the name of their earbuds.
The touch-sensitive areas on the earbuds provide various controls:
The Galaxy Wearable app allows customization of these touch actions. If touch controls become unresponsive, placing the earbuds in the charging case for seven seconds or more will restart them.
Once connected, audio from music, videos, and other sources will play through the earbuds. The touch controls enable navigation of playlists, including play/pause, next song, and previous song.
The earbuds facilitate call management:
The Galaxy Buds2 offer intelligent noise control features:
The Galaxy Wearable app is central to managing the Galaxy Buds2 and offers several settings:
If the earbuds are misplaced, the "Find my earbuds" feature in the Galaxy Wearable app can help locate them by making them beep.
The Galaxy Wearable app also provides access to useful tips and the full user manual for the device.
Regular charging is essential. Users should ensure the earbuds are placed correctly in the charging case and that the case is connected to a power source (USB cable or wireless charger). It's important not to insert wet or dirty earbuds into the charging case.
The Galaxy Buds2 are water-resistant based on a 5ATM rating (submersion up to 50 meters per ISO standard 22810:2010), but they are not intended for scuba diving. Users should avoid excessive, sudden temperature changes and high-velocity activities, as these can compromise integrity. After use in sea water, the device should be rinsed in fresh water and thoroughly dried with a clean, soft cloth. It's crucial to ensure all compartments are closed tightly to maintain water and dust resistance. The device should not be charged when wet or in a wet area, and handling with wet hands while charging should be avoided to prevent electric shock and damage. If the device is dropped or impacted, its water and dust resistant features may be compromised.
Keeping the earbud software updated through the Galaxy Wearable app ensures access to the latest features and performance improvements.
Users should avoid disassembling, modifying, or repairing the device themselves. Placing objects like magnetic stripe cards near the device or charger may cause damage due to magnetic fields. During charging, the device and charger may become warm, which is considered normal operation. If the device becomes too hot, it should be removed from the charger and allowed to cool down.
