Wondering how to connect Galaxy Buds to an iPhone? We have got you covered!
Fed up with getting tied up in pesky wires while listening to your favourite tunes on the go? You’ll be in the market for a good pair of Bluetooth headphones. But just because your music player of choice is an Apple iPhone, it doesn’t mean you’re duty-bound to fork out for a pair of AirPods.
There are loads of good wireless headphones out there, but if you’re feeling like a real rebel, you could do worse than look to one of Apple’s biggest rivals. Samsung’s Galaxy Buds offer many of the same advantages as the AirPods: big sound, streamlined design and clever built-in microphones, all wrapped up in a teeny package.
Even better, they beat Apple in the price department, too. You have two options. The standard Galaxy Buds 2, cost $118, which is 20 quid cheaper than the standard Apple AirPods. The upgraded Galaxy Buds Pro will set you back $149 and offer enhanced sound and longer battery life.
