How to Find Your Lost Samsung Galaxy Buds Live in Minutes

The Galaxy Buds Live's iconic kidney-bean shape is unlike any other earbud on the market, which means they roll off flat surfaces, wedge into couch crevices, and are nearly impossible to spot visually once lodged in a gap. Their open-ear design with no silicone tips means they sit loosely and can fall out during sudden head movements without the wearer noticing. With BLE 5.0, EarBuddy can detect them at roughly 25–30 feet, but their small curved body can orient the antenna in suboptimal directions — moving slowly and scanning from multiple angles gives the best results.

Why SmartThings Find Can't Find Your Galaxy Buds Live

Galaxy Buds Live support SmartThings Find on Samsung devices only. Their unique bean shape makes them easy to slip between cushions and hard to spot visually.
