Samsung’s Galaxy watches are wonderfully robust wrist wearables that, like their top-of-the-line Galaxy smartphone counterparts, are packed with features. They can do everything from simply counting steps to tracking your sleep, monitoring your heart for irregular heartbeats, and even measuring and analyzing your body fat – a feat rarely found in a smartwatch.
One of my favorite uses of the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic is tracking my workouts and outdoor adventures without having to take my phone with me, which also means connecting my favorite pair of Bluetooth earbuds directly to my watch. So let’s go ahead and answer the question: How Do Do you pair Bluetooth headphones with a Galaxy Watch?
How to pair Bluetooth headphones with a Galaxy Watch
1. Put your earbuds into pairing mode. This depends on the model used.
2. From your Galaxy Watch: swipe down from the top of the dial to indicate that Quick panel.
3. Tap Settings (gear) icon.
4. Tap links.
5. Choose Bluetooth.
6. Tap scan Button.
7. Select your earbuds from the list of available devices.
8. Tap the “Checkmark” button to confirm the earbuds you want to pair.
Wait a moment and before you know it, your earbuds will be connected to your Samsung Galaxy Watch and ready for whatever comes next!
The benefits of pairing your headphones with your watch
Maybe you’re going to the gym or it’s a hike, but you can leave the phone at home (or hidden in the car) and use the 16GB of built-in storage to transfer music files to your Galaxy Watch and jam to Beyonce’s new album from Cowboy Carter, while you work up a sweat!
You’ve done this before, right? If you subscribe to Spotify or YouTube Music, you can also use these services to download motivating music or podcasts to the watch for those workouts. Now that you know how to pair Bluetooth headphones to a Galaxy Watch, you’re good to go!
With the LTE version of the watch, you don’t even have to worry about downloading content directly to it, you can stream to your heart’s content on the go. Provided you have a strong enough signal and an app that supports standalone streaming from your Galaxy Watch. Personally, I would prefer to let the music be downloaded. Nobody has time to buffer in the wilderness!
I used one of the best wireless earbuds on the market, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4, but this guide will work with any Bluetooth wireless earbuds or headphones. If you really want to make the most of that Bluetooth connection, pair your Galaxy Watch with Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and you can use the Buds app on the watch to control features like adaptive noise cancellation directly from the watch.
