did you know that the samsung galaxy buds plus have seven unique touch commands that
can all be used at the same time without having to go into your settings to
change some of the commands? in this video I'm going to show you guys how to
set that up and that is the first of five unknown features on the galaxy buds
plus and if you guys stick around to the end of the video I have a few bonus
unknown features for you guys as well let's get started so I put in my galaxy
buds plus and I'm gonna share my screen with you guys so you can follow along
with how I set all this up the first we're gonna need is the galaxy wearable
application if it's not already installed go to the App Store search for
galaxy wearable it should be the first result go ahead and install it once it's
installed go ahead and open it when you open it up you're going to see an option
a little bit further down called a touchpad go ahead and tap that now this
is going to talk about all the different touch features on the galaxy buttons
plus so single tap is play pause double tap will skip to the next track or if
you're getting a phone call it'll answer the call or if you're on a call it'll
end the call triple tap will skip back a track and long pressing or touching and
holding will activate one of a few different things now at the bottom you
can see that your left and right earbud are independent so if you long press the
left ear bud it'll do one thing or you could long press the right earbud to do
a different thing right now by default you'll probably see that they're both
set to ambient mode but if you tap one of them you'll see that you get four
options so far we're up to five unique commands now here's where you get the
last two we're going to go back to the main menu scroll to the very bottom
you're going to see an option called labs if you tap that your first option
here is double tap earbud edge and what this is going to do is allow you to
increase or decrease volume depending on which earbud edge you're tapping and
it's a different kind of tap so if I'm tapping on the side like this that's
going to do all the other features I showed you earlier but if you come in at
an angle and tap on this top corner like this twice then that'll decrease volume
from the left bud increase volume from the right bud so let me go ahead and
turn that on and let's go ahead and test it out so if I double tap in this top
corner you'll see my volume just went up and if I double tap here you'll see it
goes down down again again down again so all of my other
touch features still work single tap will play pause double tap will go
forward triple tap will go back long press still activates its individual
things as well so that makes for a total of seven unique commands with different
types of tap gestures and tap sequences now I will say that this does take a
little bit of getting used to the first time I enabled this I did have a hard
time getting the volume to go up or down but I found that if you hold your finger
at kind of an angle and I kind of rest my other fingers on my head like this
kind of for stability and I just tap at a downward angle like this right on that
top corner and I do that on either obviously both sides that seems to work
really well and I get it to work maybe 95% of the time if I kind of come in at
an angle just like that going back just once in the settings reviews the second
unknown feature and that is the extra high ambient volume now this is this is
pretty neat so if I turn this on and I go back here and scroll back up you'll
see that there's now a fourth option for ambient sound it's just it sounds pretty
ridiculous when you go to this fourth really high ambient sound level because
it's almost like superhuman hearing any like just rubbing your fingers together
like that's that's loud in the earbuds that you can really hear that which is
pretty ridiculous so this is good if let's say you're working on something
upstairs in an office but you still want to be able to hear someone call up the
stairs to you having this ambient mode set to the max makes it a lot easier to
hear really quiet sound so that's kind of the application that you would use
this ultra high ambient sound mode in and I must say it does work pretty well
you could really hear a pin drop with this there is one thing to be aware of
with this ultra high ambient sound mode and it's that if you bring the buds
close together like if I took the left one out and brought it close to the
right one I'll get some feedback from that and I'll get kind of a high-pitched
noise just kind of drone into my ear if I bring this bud close to that one so
you'd have to take both buds out either was like both hands basically you don't
want to bring both buds close to each other when one of them's in your ear
you're going to hear a really loud feedback scrolling back down to the labs
section we'll take a look at the third unknown feature and that
Gaming mode now this is really handy obviously for playing games or watching
movies because it brings your latency down to almost zero which is great
because if you're playing a game and you tap something you want to hear that
sound effect right away or if you're watching a movie in someone's talking
you want their lips to be perfectly in sync with the sound you're hearing and
putting this into gaming mode guarantees that there is a catch with gaming mode
as well because it reduces the latency so much the stability of the connection
reduces so if you're just listening to music you need to make sure that you
turn this mode off because if you walk away from your phone it's not going to
take much to lose that Bluetooth connection but again if you're playing a
game or watching a movie your phone's gonna be right in front of
you so gaming modes gonna work great for that bottom line just remember to turn
it off when you're done playing your game or watching your movie the fourth
unknown feature is back on the main page I'm going to go back one and then tap
advanced and here's an option to use ambient sound of during phone calls now
ambient sound the reason that's important to use during a phone call is
so that you can hear your own voice it's a lot easier to have a conversation with
someone if you can hear your own voice versus having your ears plugged your
voice sounds kind of weird and then you end up talking louder than you really
should be just because you're kind of muted by having these ear plugs in your
ears so by enabling this it's going to automatically turn ambient sound mode on
while you're on the phone call and if ambient mode was turned off before you
started the call it'll automatically turn it back off when the call is
finished speaking of phone calls the next unknown feature is that while
you're on a phone call you can actually long press either bud and it will mute
the conversation so the other person can't hear you anymore so a lot of times
you just take your phone out and tap mute but with this nope just long press
one of the buds you're hear like a dude do kind of sound and then you'll know
that they can't hear you anymore so you can have a quick conversation with
somebody else and talk to your kids tell your kids something something like that
and then long press again come right back back a sorry about that
had to meet your first second put it back and that's a really neat feature
that not many people know about real quick if you guys are getting a value

time for some bonus unknown features now something a lot of people don't know
when they get galaxy buds is how do you pair the buds to other devices after
you've already paired them to one device and it's not totally clear when you're
going through the app to kind of figure that out all you have to do is long
press both buds and it's about five seconds that you have to wait so still
going okay there you go so it's like five maybe seven seconds and then you
hear it start making this kind of beeping sound to let you know that it's
in pairing mode now all you have to do is go to another device go to your
Bluetooth settings on that device find the buds and then tap connect now
there's something I need to address with connecting to multiple devices as
something that a lot of people got confused about
so during Galaxy unpacked samsung said that the galaxy buds plus can connect to
multiple devices super seamlessly really easily and they kind of made it sound
like it was a brand new feature something that wasn't available on the
original Galaxy buds and people took that to mean that you can connect to
multiple devices simultaneously so you can listen to music on tablet and then
if you get a phone call your buds are still connected to your phone so you can
just answer the call with the buds that is not the case you do have to transfer
connection from one device to another device before you can take the call and
this is exactly how it worked with the original Galaxy buds as well so if I was
connected to my Galaxy Note 10 to my iPhone 11 Promax then I would just
go into the Bluetooth settings for the iPhone 11 Promax tap connect to the
Galaxy buds plus and it would pull the connection from the note 10 to the
iPhone 11 Promax and if I want to switch back just go to the Bluetooth settings
on the note 10 plus and tap connect on the Galaxy buds plus again and it would
pull the connection back to the note 10 plus so if you're hoping for true
simultaneous connections to multiple devices sorry that's not available on
the Galaxy buds plus another bonus unknown feature is that the galaxy Bud's
A plus application is now available for the iPhone previously with the original
Galaxy buds there was no galaxy buds application so
there were a lot of features you were missing you could
customize the long press options you couldn't use to find my buds feature
which would make the buds chirp if they were out of the case and lost on your
floor or under a couch or something it would make up cheer pretty loud so you
could find them you didn't have that feature either when you're repaired to
an iPhone but now you do get all of those features all you have to do is
download the Samsung Galaxy buds plus application from the Apple App Store
there are two features missing on the iPhone version of the application you're
missing gaming mode and you're missing the ability to start a Spotify playlist
by long pressing one of the earbuds besides that you get all of the other
features let me know how many of these features were new to you in the comments
