Connect galaxy buds to PC on windows laptop

Put your earbuds back in the case and turn off Bluetooth on any devices that are around the case and were paired/connected to the earbuds. This is very important as if you don’t turn off Bluetooth on other devices that the earbuds were previously connected to, windows 10 won’t detect your buds. It’s weird I know, but yeah that’s Windows 10 for ya :D!

On your Windows laptop, at the bottom of your screen, you should see a “Type here to search“. Click on it and type “Bluetooth“.

The first option that should come up is “Bluetooth and other devices settings”, click on it.

It takes you to the “Bluetooth & other devices” settings page.

Now open the cover of the Galaxy earbuds case with the buds inside them. This puts the buds into pairing mode automatically. If you have any previously paired devices around when you open the cover, Galaxy buds will automatically try to reconnect to those devices.

Click on “Add Bluetooth or other devices”.

In the next window, select “Bluetooth”.

It will now start looking for any Bluetooth devices around your laptop ready to be paired.

Once you see your Samsung Galaxy buds listed, simply click on it to start the pairing process.

Give it a few seconds to add the galaxy buds to your system and connect to it.

Once the pairing process has been completed, you will receive a “Your device is ready to go!” message. You can also see that it says that the Galaxy Buds is connected for voice and music.

Galaxy buds not showing up when trying to connect from PC

This can be a very common issue that lots of us including me face. First windows 10 is not very robust with its Bluetooth capability. It’s not very reliable, one day all the devices work fine, and someday you might have to remove the device completely and repair it again to get it working.

Either way, if you are facing this issue I would suggest you do the following.

• Make sure your Galaxy buds are properly charged
• Put them in the case and connect the charger, leave it for 10 – 15 mins ( With the cover closed)
• Turn the Bluetooth on your PC ON and OFF a couple of times and restart your system
• Once the computer has restarted, go to add the Bluetooth device, and only when you click on “Bluetooth” open the lid of the galaxy buds casing
• Your galaxy buds should be listed now and you should be able to connect them to your pc

You can also try to reset Galaxy buds or restart them too. Galaxy Buds’s Bluetooth acts weird especially if there is another Bluetooth-enabled device around it. So make sure all the devices around the buds are turned off while pairing buds to your computer.
