How to Connect Galaxy Buds/Galaxy Buds + to TV? How to Watch TV with Samsung Galaxy Buds?
Want to connect your Galaxy Buds and/or Galaxy Buds + to your TV and listen to TV through them?
No problem! There are TWO ways to do it.
If your TV has built-in Bluetooth capability (please check your TV's user manual), here's what you do:
1. Get your Galaxy Buds/Galaxy Buds + into pairing mode (Put the buds on, tap both earbuds ONCE together, then PRESS & HOLD both buds until you hear a beeping sound repeating.)
2. Go into your TV's Bluetooth menu, search & select Galaxy Buds/Galaxy Buds + to connect.
3. You may adjust volume via your TV's remote control.
If your TV does NOT have built-in Bluetooth, or if you'd like to connect MORE THAN ONE PAIR of headphones to your TV simultaneously, you'll have to connect using a Bluetooth Audio Adapter. Additionally, since Galaxy Buds/Galaxy Buds +'s touch volume control feature doesn't come by default, we recommend that you go with an adapter that features built-in volume control, somthing like these:
Avantree Orbit (Learn More) - ONLY Bluetooth Transmitter on the market with LCD Screen Display
Avantree Oasis Plus (Learn More)
Avantree Audikast Plus (Learn More)
With these, you'll be able to:
- Adjust volume even when using Digital Optical connection between TV & Adapter. (TVs usually do not allow volume adjustment via remote control when Digital Optical port is being used.)
- Connect up to TWO PAIRS of headphones to your TV (adapter) simultaneously.
- In the case of Oasis Plus and Orbit, it can be used simultaneously with a SoundBar/Stereo Receiver while sharing ONE Digital Optical Port (See THIS ARTICLE for more details regarding this function.)
Here are the Instructions of Connecting using an Adapter:
1. Connect your Bluetooth adapter to Power.
2. Connect the Bluetooth adapter to the TV. Our adapters support Digital Optical (aka TOSLINK or SPDIF,) 3.5mm Auxiliary (aka Headphones Jack,) and RCA (Red/White) Audio Output Ports. Please see your adapter's user manual for more details.
3. Get your Galaxy Buds/Galaxy Buds + into pairing mode (Put the buds on, tap both earbuds ONCE together, then PRESS & HOLD both buds until you hear a beeping sound repeating.)
4. Get your Bluetooth adapter into Bluetooth Pairing mode as well. Please see your user manual if you're not sure how.
5. Keep close to the adapter until they connect.
6. Once connected, if you're using Digital Optical connection, please go to your TV settings menu and change your Digital Audio Format to PCM.
7. And you'd be good to go.
