You can control the volume on your Galaxy Buds2 Pro directly from the earbuds by customizing their touch controls in the Galaxy Wearable app. This allows you to assign volume adjustments to specific gestures, enhancing your listening experience without needing to reach for your connected device.
Customizing Volume Controls on Your Galaxy Buds2 Pro
The Galaxy Buds2 Pro offer robust customization through the Galaxy Wearable app, which is essential for managing your earbuds' settings, including their touch controls.
1. Accessing Touch Control Settings
To begin, ensure your Galaxy Buds2 Pro are connected to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth.
- Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your connected device. If you don't have it, you can download it from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store (for iOS users, though full functionality is best on Android).
- From the main screen, select your Galaxy Buds2 Pro from the list of connected devices.
- Navigate to "Earbud settings."
- Tap on "Touch controls."
2. Enabling Volume Control via Edge Double-Tap
A specific method for volume control involves reconfiguring one of the double-tap gestures:
- Within the "Touch controls" menu, you will see various touch gesture options.
- Locate the setting for "Double tap" which might be set to "Play next track" by default.
- Turn off the "Double tap for playing next track" function.
- Once this default double-tap action is deactivated, you can then double-tap the edge of the earpiece on your Galaxy Buds2 Pro to control the volume.
3. Assigning Volume to Touch and Hold (Alternative)
Another popular and flexible way to control volume is by assigning it to the "Touch and hold" gesture:
- In the "Touch controls" menu, find the "Touch and hold" option for both the left and right earbuds.
- You can customize what each earbud's "Touch and hold" action does independently.
- For the Left Earbud: Tap on "Left" and select "Volume down."
- For the Right Earbud: Tap on "Right" and select "Volume up."
This setup allows you to quickly adjust the volume by simply touching and holding either earbud.
Summary of Touch Control Options
Here’s a quick overview of common touch controls and how they can be customized for volume:
