First, I am coming from the Buds2 pro. The sound quality is awesome. Fit is different and the controls will take some getting used to. The learning curve because of the shape change is steep but I hope I will get the hang of it soon.
I had very high hopes for these, and really wanted to like them, but I think they will be relegated to occasional office work. They are comfortable, and I really like the controls on the stems, vice touch controls. A little awkward to put in the case, but after a few times you get used to the angle. The deal breaker for me is the poor anc. For general day-to-day walking around, but anything that produces any kind of louder noise is getting through. Case in point; I wore them while mowing the lawn yesterday and it was almost like the anc was off. I stopped to check several times and sure enough, anc was on and adaptive was off. Just not as good as the buds pro 2, which is unfortunate. Also, while weed eating the yard there was a crackling sound when I hit the grass or anything solid, like the sudden louder sound caused some kind of distortion.
All in all, they are solid for every day use. Just don't expect better performance than the buds 2 pro, which I will be going back to until and unless they address these glaring issues.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Earbuds sound great when playing music, etc. The microphone for Windows computers still has massive issues. The mic does not pick up your voice and no one on the other end can hear you. Seems to be a well documented issue with Samsung that has been around for generations with little to no fix
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the fit and the sound and they're fairly user intuitive, overall they're really great except for the battery life. Several models before have had longer lives in my experience. The best I have gotten so far out of one charge has been about 5 hours but I've gotten as little as two and a half and three.
The best sounding buds from Samsung so far. I own the buds live and they're good for quiet areas and when you want to hear your surroundings. I traded in my Buds Pros for these because they kept falling out of my ears no matter what I tried. These buds fit securely and sound amazing. Full balanced sound with punchy bass. Great software and features. The best buds by Samsung by far in my opinion.
So far loving everything about these buds. Very comfortable, phone call quality excellent, people I am speaking with commented how much better I sounded on the call and I was on the Interstate! Sounds fantastic and battery life is great. Only thing I have not been able to test yet is the real time translation. Hoping to check that feature out soon.
