Product Overview

How to setup

Charge the battery

Your device case is also the charger.

1. Place the earbuds into the charging case. For best results, do not insert earbuds in the charging case if they are wet or dirty.
2. Close the charging case, and either connect the USB cable as shown or place the charging case on a wireless charger. The earbuds and charging case are charged simultaneously.

Check the charge status

When you connect the earbuds and the charger case the LED indicators flash certain colors to indicate the battery level.

• Green: Fully charged.
• Red: Charging.
• Flashing Red: Charging error. Reconnect the case and earbuds. If the error occurs again, contact a Samsung Service Center for service support.

Wireless power-sharing

Wirelessly charge your device using a supported Samsung smartphone. Some features are not available while sharing power.

1. From your phone, enable the Wireless power-sharing feature.
2. With the phone face down, place the compatible device on the back of the phone to charge. A notification sound or vibration occurs when charging begins.

NOTE: Wireless power sharing works with most Qi-Certified devices. Requires minimum 30% battery to share. Speed and power efficiency of charge vary by device. May not work with some accessories, covers, or other manufacturers’ devices. If you have trouble connecting or charging is slow, remove any cover from each device.

For best results when using Wireless power sharing, please note:

• Remove any accessories or covers before using the feature. Depending on the type of accessory or cover, Wireless power-sharing may not work properly.
• The location of the wireless charging coil may vary by device, so you may need to adjust the placement to make a connection.

• Call reception or data services may be affected, depending on your network environment.
• Charging speed or efficiency can vary depending on the device’s condition or surrounding environment.
• Do not use headphones.

Attach the ear tip

Before wearing the earbuds, be sure to attach the ear tips. Wearing earbuds without ear tips may hurt your ears.

1. Select the ear tip size that best fits your ear.
2. Hook the ear tip’s groove to the earbud’s fixation hook on one side and gently pull the ear tip to cover the earbud. Do not pull the ear tip excessively when you attach or detach it because it may tear.
3. Follow the same procedure for the other earbud.

Wear the earbuds

Place the earbuds in your ears correctly for a comfortable fit.

1. Check the direction of each earbud and insert them into your ears by holding them so that you see the imprinted direction marks. Adjust the earbuds until they fit comfortably in your ears.
2. The touch-sensitive sensor will detect that you are wearing the earbuds and emit a sound

Coupling earbuds

Should you lose one of the earbuds, you can buy a replacement and couple the old and new earbuds together.

1. Insert the earbuds into the charging case. The earbud battery indicator light will flash red to indicate that the earbuds are not coupled.
2. Tap and hold the touchpad on both earbuds for seven seconds or more. When the earbud battery indicator light flashes green and then turns off, the earbuds are coupled and ready for use.

FAQs

Are these Alexa-compatible?

Indeed, they do! When your hands are busy, you can use built-in virtual assistants like Bixby Voice, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa with your Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro earphones. Check your touchpad settings first. The Galaxy Wearable app’s touchpad commands must be set to Voice command in order to bring up a virtual assistant.

A cable with “USB type-c” connections on both ends was included with mine. They are connected to a power bank by me. Is there another method of payment?

Because newer phones like the Galaxy S22 come with them, they now provide chargers that accept such types. If you own a Galaxy S9, that charger is compatible with it as well.

Are the case’s dimensions the same as those of an AirPods case?

No, it is not because the AirPods’ cases are a bit thinner than Samsung’s.

How’s the bass? as well as the quality?

Yes, these wireless earbuds sound fantastic.

Can you utilize these on your own?

Just keep one earbud in the charging case, please.

How much time does a charge have?

I’m not sure. I haven’t used the earphones long enough to be able to say that.

Are these multi-point connections available?

They don’t, to be honest.

What distinguishes the Buds 2 from the Pro?

In general, the Buds Pro has higher specifications than the Buds 2, including improved water resistance and more sophisticated audio functions. The Buds 2 have a longer battery life, are lighter and are smaller. There is no difference between them in terms of pairing with a Galaxy smartphone between the two pairings.

In the shower, can I use my Galaxy Buds 2 Pro?

Wearing the device while doing things like swimming, playing water sports, having a shower, or visiting spa or sauna facilities is not advised. This might harm the gadget.

Galaxy Buds 2 are water resistant.

ANC on the Galaxy Buds 2 is marginally superior to that on the Buds Pro. Any Galaxy Buds 2 pair you purchase comes with some level of water resistance.
