Pairing your Galaxy Buds with a device, such as your switch, involves putting the earbuds into pairing mode and then connecting through the device's Bluetooth settings. The process for the earbuds themselves is straightforward.
Here's how to get your Galaxy Buds ready to connect to your switch device, based on the standard pairing method:
Preparing Your Galaxy Buds for Pairing
To make your Galaxy Buds discoverable by your switch, you need to activate their pairing mode. Follow these steps:
- Put your Galaxy Buds / Galaxy Buds+ in your ears. This ensures the touchpads are accessible and you can hear the pairing sound.
- Tap and hold both earbuds' touchpads. Press and hold down on the touch-sensitive area of both earbuds simultaneously.
- The earbuds will enter pairing mode and you will hear a sound. Continue holding until you hear a distinct sound indicating they are in pairing mode. This makes them visible to new devices trying to connect via Bluetooth.
Once your earbuds are in pairing mode, they are ready to be discovered and connected by your switch device.
Connecting to Your Switch Device
With your Galaxy Buds in pairing mode, the next step is to initiate the connection from your switch. Please note that your switch device must support Bluetooth audio output for headphones.
- Open the Bluetooth settings on your device and pair your Galaxy Buds / Galaxy Buds+ as a new device. Navigate to the Bluetooth settings menu on your switch. Look for the option to search for or add a new Bluetooth device. Select your Galaxy Buds from the list of available devices to complete the pairing process.
