Samsung has released a software update for the Galaxy Buds which brings a bunch of Galaxy Buds+ connectivity features to Galaxy Buds.
The update brings Microsoft Swift Pair connectivity, Ambient sound and Spotify connectivity.
Easily Pair Galaxy Buds with Your PC
With Microsoft Swift Pair feature, you can now more easily pair your Galaxy Buds to your Windows 10-based PC. This allows you to utilize Galaxy Buds’ sound quality on work-related tasks, such as remote video meetings, or listening to the music that helps you power through the workday.
With the addition of Swift Pair compatibility, Galaxy Buds join Galaxy Buds+ to support multiple pairing experiences across mobile and PC devices, giving you the freedom to easily connect to, and switch between, your favorite devices.
How to enable Swift Pair on your computer
- Open Settings on Windows 10.
- Click on Devices.
- Click on Bluetooth & other devices.
- Check the Show notifications to connect using Swift Pair option. Enable Swift Pair on Windows 10.
If the Show notifications to connect using Swift Pair option is not shown, then the Bluetooth radio in your Windows device does not have the required hardware support.
Tune In, or Out, of the World Around You
With this update, and for the first time on Galaxy Buds, you can now experience Ambient Sound automatically. By simply putting your Buds on, you can now hear your surroundings and remain aware of the world around you, even when you’re watching movies or listening to your favorite tunes with the volume up.
In addition, you can now experience Ambient Sound even with only one earbud in, giving you more options of how you tune in, or tune out, of your surrounding environment.
Instantly Listen to Your Personalized Playlist with a Single Press
Spotify users can now instantly listen to personalized music on their Galaxy Buds with a single press. Through a simple ‘Tap & Hold’ gesture, users can launch Spotify and start listening to music where ever you left off.
Not feeling it? Tap and hold again and Spotify will recommend playlists just for you so you can effortlessly discover your new favorite song through your Galaxy Buds.
With these updates, you can start playing your personal soundtrack instantly, as soon as you need it – whether you’re starting a workout or starting your day.
