Microsoft Windows PCs will have somewhat different procedures based on whatever version of the OS you are using, but the methods outlined here will lead you to the appropriate menus.

1. It is sufficient to open the case to activate pairing mode, even if you have never used your earphones with a device before. If you already associated them with a phone or another device, insert the earbuds into your ears and press and hold both touchpads until you hear a sequence of beeps signaling that you are in pairing mode, which should take around a minute.

2. Go to the Devices menu on your laptop and choose it. When using Windows 10, this option may be found in the Settings menu.

3. After that, pick Bluetooth & other devices (if it hasn’t already been done so).

4. From this option, you’ll pick Add Bluetooth or other device, and as long as your Samsung Buds are in pairing mode (as described in step 1), they’ll appear in this list of devices.

5. Select them, and your Galaxy Buds are now paired to your laptop. Now, they should default to this laptop when you turn them on again.

1. It is sufficient to open the case to activate pairing mode, even if you have never used your earphones with a device before. If you already associated them with a phone or another device, insert the earbuds into your ears and press and hold both touchpads until you hear a sequence of beeps signaling that you are in pairing mode, which should take around a minute.

2. If you are using macOS, go to the System Preferences menu and choose the Bluetooth option.

3. The earphones should display at the bottom of the devices list, under a thin grey bar, as long as they are in pairing mode, as described in step 1. The Samsung buds are now connected when you click the Connect button next to them. When you switch them back on, they should automatically boot into this laptop.
