BLE 5.4 Compatible

How to Find Your Lost Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 in Minutes

Losing your $179 Galaxy Buds 3 is stressful. But if they still have battery, they're broadcasting an invisible Bluetooth Low Energy signal right now. EarBuddy turns your phone into a radar that can detect that signal and guide you straight to them.

Why SmartThings Find Isn't Enough

SmartThings Find is Samsung-ecosystem only. iPhone users and non-Samsung Android users have no native way to locate Galaxy Buds 3.

How EarBuddy Finds Your Galaxy Buds 3

Because Samsung uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.4), your Galaxy Buds 3 constantly broadcasts a short-range signal — even when disconnected. EarBuddy scans for this signal and shows you real-time signal strength on a radar display, guiding you physically to the device.

Open EarBuddy and begin a Bluetooth scan.

Walk slowly around the area you last remember having your Galaxy Buds 3.

EarBuddy will display the BLE signal from your Buds on the radar.

Move toward the strongest signal reading.

Check nearby surfaces, bags, and coat pockets when the signal peaks.

Ready to Find Your Galaxy Buds 3?

Download EarBuddy and start scanning in seconds. The Bluetooth radar works with all BLE devices — no pairing required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Galaxy Buds 3 be tracked when in the case?

Yes. The Galaxy Buds 3 case emits a BLE signal that EarBuddy can detect, even when the earbuds are inside.

Do I need to pair Galaxy Buds 3 with EarBuddy first?
