Galaxy Buds Pro
Ambient sound can be used on Galaxy Buds Pro when you need to hear what’s going on around you. You can also use the new Voice detect feature to easily hear if someone is speaking to you.

In addition to this, Active noise canceling is also available on your Galaxy Buds Pro.
Galaxy Buds Live
The Galaxy Buds Live do not have a traditional Ambient sound mode the way other Samsung earbuds do. Instead, it has Active noise canceling. When this feature is turned off, you may feel some stiffness or compression while listening to music. To prevent this, you can turn on the Relieve pressure with ambient sound option.
Open the Galaxy Wearable app, and then tap Labs. Tap the switch next to Relieve pressure with ambient sound. That's all there is to it.
Galaxy Buds+
Ambient sound lets noise from your surroundings flow into your earbuds, so you can keep your ears open to what's going on in the world around you. Ambient sound may cause howling or whistling when your ear tips do not fit correctly, when you’re adjusting the volume, or when you're touching the microphone. In this case, you can try adjusting your earbuds for a more comfortable fit or changing the level of the Ambient sound.
- Ambient sound can be turned on with a single earbud when using Galaxy Buds+. Navigate to and open the Galaxy Wearable app, and then tap the switch next to Ambient sound.
- You can amplify sounds with High or Extra high volume options to hear additional surrounding noises.
- To use Ambient sound during phone calls, tap Earbud settings, then tap Use ambient sound during calls, and then tap the switch.
- You can also activate Ambient sound using the touchpads on the earbuds. Open the Galaxy Wearable app, and then tap Touch controls. Under the Touch and hold touchpad section, tap Left or Right, and then tap Ambient sound.
- Next, touch and hold the earbud of your choice to use Ambient sound. Keep in mind that the touch-sensitive sensor must be clean in order for this to work.
