Expensive, not great widget, allergic to earbuds
on May 31, 2022
Posted by: John
from Grand Rapids, MI
i am satisfied with my galaxy buds 2 and was curious if the pro buds are worth the extra cost. here's what i learned.
1). they're $50 more expensive. does that mean improved sound? not that i can tell.
2). the pro buds' android widget is actually less useful than the buds 2 widget. with buds 2 widget you can see the percentage power left in the buds and case, as well as a button to turn noise cancelation/ambient sound on or off, as well as a button to open the control settings.
with pro buds widgets you must choose between seeing the power of the buds and case or pick thewidget with the settings controls.
3). i'm actually allergic to the silicone buds inserts! but strangely not to the buds 2 inserts. after an hour of use my ears become extremely itchy and watery and then crusty.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST HEADPHONES I HAVE EVER OWNED
on June 3, 2022
Posted by: CHRISTINA
these do not stay in your ear! i have had these for quite some time now, basically didn't have time to return them, and they suck. when i spoke to others about them i have heard the same thing, they don't stay in the ear. can't walk in them, work out in them, take a phone call anything. they will fall out of your ear, guaranteed. not only i, a female, also males i know have the same issue with this product. so it's not that i have tiny earholes, the design is just flawed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Won't stay in my ear
on June 12, 2022
Posted by: Pheonix
due to the ear buds not staying in my ear long enough to give a review i apologize. i was going to return them, but i didn't know i only had 15 days apparently. one reason why i don't buy electronics online.
i wanted another pair of the buds+ but due to them being old they weren't available. those were the only ones that fit comfortably and stayed in my ear. the live ones hurt really bad so those were a no go.
i have tried all the ear pieces and to no avail they will work loose as i talk or chew food. i have twisted them all kinds of ways. i almost lost it in a sink washing dishes. the only time one will stay in is if i'm laying down.

Garbage
on June 23, 2022
Posted by: Anonymous
i am not a violent person, however, trying to wear these pieces of crap make me want to throw them as far as i can. they will not stay in the ears. i spend more time trying to find where they rolled off to on the floor than being able to listen to anything. i have purchased every available size and absolutely nothing works. a complete waste of money and a significant generator of anger and frustration.

Great sound quality. Terrible for workouts.
on June 24, 2022
Posted by: Rel629
please. please. please go back to the ear clips like the gear iconx. i really don't understand why it was changed. the clips were a great way to make sure the headphones could fit into everyone's different ears. these fall out no matter what i do and i've sadly gone back to using my gear iconx headphones and these are collecing dust for now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrible Ear Buds
on June 28, 2022
Posted by: Anonymous
from Cullowhee, NC
bought these earbuds thinking they would be good, but i was so wrong. the earbuds themselves have given me nothing but problems. they get no where near the playtime that samsung advertises, and one of my earbuds always dies when the other hasn't even lost 50% charge. and of course samsung's warranty went out of date right as these earbuds became junk. the sound quality is poor and the noise cancelling doesn't work very well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Function. Phantom Silver is horrible
on June 29, 2022
Posted by: TheDuderino87
Expertise:Beginner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously came from the Galaxy Buds +. I liked the Buds +, but like the Buds Pro even more. I am a big fan of almost everything that Samsung did with these Buds compared to the Buds+. The fit and comfort is an improvement imo and the overall functionality is also great. Battery life is to be as expected with having anc and ambient sound options. I have used both and like both options for different circumstances. These are by far the best Buds and I like the features/options.
The only downside, and I mean the only downside is the "Phantom Silver". Idk what Samsung was thinking when they released this color. I wanted to try something different, but this is not the answer. I don't have a problem with the shimmering aspect, only that this is pretty much full on purple in any light variation whether true sunlight or otherwise. I wish they would have gone with the mirrored silver or even the more matte silver like the S22 Ultra. Because they already had a regular purple version, this was almost a purple 2.0. Not a fan and would not recommend this imo. If you like it good for you, but I am not a fan. Luckily there are case options available that can hide this hideous color. Besides that, I like everything else about these Buds. Rant over.
