How to Connect Wireless Headphones to Chromebook
The process for pairing Samsung Galaxy Buds to your Chromebook is similar to how you pair wireless earbuds with your phone. After a moment, the Galaxy Buds will connect, and all sound will come through the earbuds. Active noise cancellation will still work. Beyond that, they’ll act like any other wireless earbud. They’ll connect automatically going forward when you take them out of the case.
Tips for Pairing the Samsung Buds to Your Chromebook
There are some caveats to be aware of once you’ve paired the buds. First, your Chromebook will need to support Bluetooth to pair. Unfortunately, not all Chromebooks support Bluetooth capability, so be sure to check your settings before purchasing any wireless earbuds, including the Samsung Galaxy Buds. The software that allows you to configure Samsung Buds does not work on most Chromebooks. The Google Play store has an app called Galaxy Buds Plugin, and you can install it. However, once installed, there is no way to open the app. What’s missing is the ability to configure the buds how you’d like. You won’t be able to change what tapping on the earbuds will do. Whatever the buds are programmed to do (such as increase or decrease volume, play/pause, etc.), they’ll do for the Chromebook. The Galaxy Wear app is what you would normally use to configure those functions, and that app is not available for Chromebooks.
