Ambient sound, also known as "ambient mode" in Galaxy Buds, is a feature that allows you to hear your surroundings while wearing your earbuds. This feature is useful for staying aware of your environment while listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks.
How Ambient Sound Works:
Galaxy Buds use microphones to pick up external sounds and play them through the earbud speakers. This allows you to hear things like traffic, announcements, or conversations while still enjoying your audio content.
Benefits of Using Ambient Sound:
- Enhanced Safety: Stay aware of your surroundings while walking, running, or cycling.
- Improved Communication: Hear conversations or announcements without removing your earbuds.
- Situational Awareness: Remain attentive to your environment in busy or potentially dangerous situations.
Controlling Ambient Sound:
You can adjust the level of ambient sound on your Galaxy Buds using the Galaxy Wearable app on your smartphone. The app allows you to choose from different levels of ambient sound, ranging from low to high.
You can also activate or deactivate ambient sound directly on your earbuds using the touch controls.
Examples of When to Use Ambient Sound:
- Walking in the City: Stay aware of traffic and pedestrians.
- Working in a Coffee Shop: Hear conversations and announcements without removing your earbuds.
- Exercising Outdoors: Stay aware of your surroundings while listening to music.
