What parameters are important: Choosing headphones – attention to the characteristics: 7 main selection parameters
Disconnect from a previous device
Before connecting Galaxy Buds to an iPhone eighth or another, we disconnect the “ears” from other previously used gadgets. If there were none, go straight to the next section.
The shutdown algorithm is as follows.
- On smart go to “Settings”.
- Open “Connections” and click on “Bluetooth”.
- Disconnect the headphones from the Bluetooth connection.
Or even easier: on a smart phone, open the Galaxy Wearable app → Disconnect. You can reboot your phone to be sure.
Note: How to use wireless headphones – instructions in 6 points
Bluetooth connection
First, we stock up on everything you need. To legitimize “ears” and smart, you will need:
- Samsung Bads – models with the Plus prefix (for example, R175 White ) or Live;
- IPhone – 7 and higher, iOS is required, starting with version 10.
If in the first bads it was possible to connect only with Android devices, then subsequent versions officially support the connection with “apple” gadgets. Samsung has even created a separate application for each OS.
Note: In-ear headphones or earbuds – which of the 2 options should you choose?
So, how do you connect Samsung Galaxy Buds (for example, R175 Red ) to your iPhone:
- We go to the AppStore and find the Galaxy Buds application (+ or live) there.
- Download and install it on your iPhone.
- Open the smart settings and scroll down to “Bluetooth”.
- Click on the tab and move the slider to the on state.
- Open the case with the badges and place it next to the phone.
- Galaxy Buds should appear in the list of paired devices.
- Click “Connect”.
All: you can go to the application to adjust the sound and other parameters of the headphones for yourself.
As you can see, it only takes a couple of minutes to connect an iPhone XS Max or another to the Samsung Galaxy Buds. Before the connection process, do not forget to check the bads and smart models to be sure that pairing is possible. It also does not hurt to make sure that each “ear” is charged, otherwise the connection will not take place.
