Enjoy the soundtrack of your life by connecting your smart watch to a pair of Bluetooth headphones so you get most out of no matter which conditions you are in. Now, you can seamlessly stay in music with your Galaxy Watch Active2 on the go.

Pair Bluetooth headphones to your watch


You can easily connect the Bluetooth headphones and you can listen to music and have a phone conversation through it in following steps.

Step 1.
 Navigate to Settings on your watch.
Step 2. Swipe to and tap Connections > Bluetooth.
Step 3. Turn on switch for Bluetooth and check if the headphones are in pairing mode.
Step 4. Tap Bluetooth audio and select the desired Bluetooth headphones. 

You can adjust Bluetooth audio using the Setting icon next to the Bluetooth headphones to: 

  • Unpair
  • Call audio
  • Media audio

You can also pair your Bluetooth headphones using Quick panel on your watch. 

Step 1.
 Swipe downwards from the top edge of the screen.
Step 2. Swipe the bezel or swipe to the left or right on the screen to move to the next or previous quick panel. 

Step 3. Tap on Headphones icon. 
Step 4. The Bluetooth feature is activated and the available Bluetooth headphones list will be searched. 

If the previously used Bluetooth is available, it will be connected automatically. 

Note: Audio output for call conversation to Bluetooth headphones is only available with LTE watch models. If the switch for Call audio and Media audio is turned off, you will not hear any output to the Bluetooth headphones and they may disconnect from the watch.
