Recently I got some new Samsung Galaxy Buds2 (2021). These are looking very nice and sound is good but it seems the Samsung Buds app is not supporting this new device on iPhone. As a consecquence, not all options and configuration is available as it would on a recent Android.
Yet, after playing around with the device on my iPhone, I can conclude so far what is working with Buds2 and iPhone:
- Bluetooth connection can be setup within iPhone config Bluetooth
- To force the Buds2 into a Bluetooth pairing, long press (> 3sec) on both Buds2 at the same time. They will let you hear they are in a Bluetooth discoverable mode
- When a music player is active, music can be stopped and started with a single click on any of the Buds2
- When someone is calling your phone and you want to pick-up the phone, you can double click any Buds2 in order to pick-up or end the phone call.
- The Active Noice Cancellation (ANC) can be enabled and disabled by long pression any of the Buds2. Long pressing the Buds2 will enable the outside microphones so you can talk to someone and have a standard life conversation with someone in the room without the need of taking the Buds2 out of your ears. Long pressing again will disable these outside mics so surrounding noice will no longer be actively amplified.
So far, these are the functions that I have found still to be working even while connected to an iPhone and thus having a limited functionality set.
