What To Expect When Connecting Galaxy Buds To Non-Compliant Devices
You can use galaxy Buds on any Bluetooth device other than Samsung Galaxy phones. However, certain functions may not work on other brands’ devices. Because the Galaxy Buds work best with Samsung devices, they are Samsung products.
These are some Samsung-exclusive features you won’t find on devices not compatible with Galaxy Buds.
- Seamless switching: Switch your buds’ audio input between 2 Samsung devices.
- 360 Audio: Immersive sound profile available only for devices with the latest One UI (Samsung’s custom Android).
- Buds Together: You can pair two Galaxy Buds sets to enjoy the same music. Similar to Apple’s feature, you can pair two sets of AirPods to the same phone.
- Gaming Mode: Bluetooth audio can sometimes have a slight delay, which causes delayed sound. Gaming Mode lowers audio latency but results in higher battery consumption.
- Bixby Voice assistant: While you won’t have the ability to use Samsung’s voice assistant, you can still use Siri, Alexa, or Google by setting up touch inputs.
- Automatic pairing mode: The Galaxy Buds will initiate a pairing sequence between your Samsung phone and your Galaxy Buds when you open the case. Manual pairing is required for non-Samsung smartphones.
Active noise cancellation can be used regardless of your Samsung device, as it is already activated right out of the box. You can’t adjust the noise-canceling intensity via the Galaxy Wearable app for Android devices or the Galaxy Buds app.
Also, the Samsung Galaxy Buds app is slowing down in support and updates. Their last update was November 2020. You can use your Galaxy Buds+ or Galaxy Buds Live on iOS device, but the app will be less polished than that for Android device.
