How to pair Samsung Galaxy Buds with Windows and macOS computers
Your Samsung Galaxy Buds work with Windows and macOS
The best Samsung earbuds bring all the features you'd expect in premium buds, like excellent sound, voice detection, touch controls, and more. They offer seamless integration with Galaxy devices and a feature-rich companion app to customize the sound experience. Samsung's Galaxy earbuds are compatible with a range of Bluetooth devices, including Android phones, iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Windows computers.
Samsung's next Galaxy Buds could cost a cool $100
The Galaxy Buds FE will undercut the Galaxy Buds 2, but not by much
About a month ago, we learned that Samsung has a new pair of earbuds in the works. Based on subsequent leaks, these new earbuds seem to be the Galaxy Buds FE, a new Fan Edition addition to Samsung's earbud lineup. Reliable leaker Roland Quandt has shared some additional info about the upcoming buds, and true to the FE name, it seems like they'll be competing in the midrange market.

The earbuds could launch alongside the Galaxy S23 FE
In addition to making stellar smartphones, Samsung is also known for its extensive range of earbuds. We realized early on that the manufacturer wouldn't reveal any new Galaxy Buds products during its late July Unpacked event, which played host to the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Galaxy Z Fold 5. However, a leak later disclosed the model number of a possible Galaxy Buds refresh, suggesting that the company may have a new pair of earbuds in the offing. A new leak is now giving us our first official look at the new Samsung earbuds.
Samsung may have a Galaxy Buds refresh in the making after all
Not the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro successor you've been waiting for, though
Samsung took the wraps off a bevy of new devices at Unpacked last month, including the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5, plus the Galaxy Watch 6 duo, followed by the three new Galaxy Tab S9 models. We knew early on that Samsung wasn't going to reveal any audio products during the July hardware event, making it seem like there won't be any new earbuds from the manufacturer this year. But a new report from Dutch publication GalaxyClub indicates that there could be a new set of Galaxy-branded earbuds on the horizon.

The Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 are rumored to be announced, and we also expect the company's Galaxy Watch5 series. We'll also likely see what Samsung has in store in the audio department. We've seen rumors and leaks of the Galaxy Buds2 Pro, which will take over from the Buds Pro as Samsung's most premium earbuds to date, and a new rumor suggests these new headphones will be more expensive than their predecessors.
The Galaxy Watch4 just got a feature it should have had at launch
Now it can control Samsung headphones that are connected to your phone
The Galaxy Watch4 and Watch4 classic are probably the best smartwatches Samsung has ever made, marking the companies return to Wear OS over its own Tizen. Something Samsung is especially good at is making every aspect of its ecosystem work seamlessly. If you own a pair of Samsung's Buds headphones in addition to the Watch4, that interconnectivity is getting even better.

Should you buy the Galaxy Buds Pro, or another pair of Samsung wireless earbuds?

Why I'm glad I made the switch from Google to Samsung
And why I don't think I'll ever go back the other way
I used Google devices exclusively for years. At the time, I loved my Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, the first two generations of the Pixel (XL versions), the Nexus 9 and Pixel C tablets, and even the Pixelbook. But after a few weeks with the Pixel 3 XL, I had to face a truth that I'd been trying to deny: Google hardware makes too many compromises. I went through at least three of each Pixel, all replaced on warranty for one reason or another. And the 3 XL wasn't faring any better in the software department, with the music app constantly being pushed out of memory and the camera failing to save many of the pictures and videos that I took. My fanboy emotions for Google were fading, and I needed to move on. In the end, Samsung was where I ended up.
Samsung's best earbuds are at their lowest price ever — but it won't last
It's the best single-pair price we've seen for the Pros

Galaxy Wearable update reveals new Galaxy Buds in the works (APK Teardown)
Samsung's 5th pair of earbuds in the Galaxy Buds lineup
The Galaxy Wearable app has been the hub for all of Samsung's wearable hardware, going back the past few years now. And that means that every time a new device is released, Samsung has to add support for it within that app. Sometimes, if we look really closely, we end up lucky enough to spot the changes Samsung makes in anticipation of a still-unannounced device. Sure enough, Samsung's latest Galaxy Wearable update has dropped, and we've managed to spot some references to the upcoming Galaxy Buds2.
Read update
Samsung's original Galaxy Buds are a bit old at this point, as they were released almost two years ago, but they're still some of the best overall earbuds to use with Android devices (especially Galaxy phones). They were available refurbished for only $80 two months ago, but now you can get them new for just $49.99 from Walmart — $81 below the original price.
The Galaxy Buds Pro are Samsung's challenge to AirPods Pro
Sadly not bean shaped, but maybe the ANC will work better this time
Samsung's recent forays into the true wireless earbud market have been surprisingly decent, with the Galaxy Buds and Buds+ among our favorites and even the leguminous Buds Live sounded pretty good despite their strange open fit. The latest iteration marks a return to more traditional earbuds, with a brand-new design and active noise cancelation on board.
