My Great Galaxy Buds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hello Everyone,
Having my Samsung Galaxy Ear Buds actually in my ears and in use while i write my review makes it so much easier to complete:)
#GalaxyBuds #GalaxyBudsInsiders
With no issues whatsoever regarding pairing them with my Samsung Galaxy cellphone or my P.C., i was off to a quick start in getting them going.
One of the first things to occur, was that i received a call from my friend who was using their cellphone at the time and the sound was clear on my end and they told me that it was clear on their end also!
Next, i started playing music through the Buds from my cellphone and the sound was excellent in my view and as loud as i wished to make it. Obviously the premium sound provided by AKG for the Buds is top notch!!
When i checked to see how depleted the charge had become on the Buds after several hours of use, it was much less than i expected it to be and the recharging time was negligible.
Being able to converse with my friends, family and neighbors while i have the Buds in my ears is no problem at all.
Also, once you get used to the touch controls on the Buds, it becomes second nature to operate them:)
Two things happened to me, both inadvertent, both excellent positive review enhancers lol. First, when i opened the case outside to put the Buds back in before going upstairs, i dropped the open case on the sidewalk and it got a minor nick in it. I then went upstairs to check if it was OK and it and the Buds charged up flawlessly!!! As a retired machinist i noticed two things immediately. First, the case is made of what i believe to be aluminum, which makes it lightweight and second, it also makes it rust-proof:)
Second thing to occur was that i was out walking the dog and got caught in a brief, but heavy rain shower, which soaked us and the Buds well, with no ill effects for us or the Buds:)
I most definitely based on my usage and occurrences with my Samsung Galaxy Ear Buds recommend them highly! Thanks for taking the time to read my review.

Love them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The samsung galaxy buds are pretty good overall. I love the touch functions and the ambient mode. Personally the ear wings are more annoying than helpful since they are so small. They sound to me is as good or better than any other wireless buds in this price range. I did have a connection issue once so far where it seems like they got out of sync from each other but a quick disconnect and reconnect resolved it and it hasn't happened again yet. I love the size of the case and how quickly it charges as well. Definitely my go to headphones for now.

Most compact true wireless earbuds I used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are using Samsung or Android, this earbuds is very suitable for you. But, if you are using iPhone, you are missing most of features since Samsung didn't provide Wearable apps.
I tested it using my Samsung Note 10+ and my iPhone X. This earbuds are working on both are working well. The audio quality is very good, it has warm, deep bass and good separation sound quality. It is not very surprise for me, they have been tuned by AKG.

The earbuds are very comfortable to use with subtle rubber wingtips. In the box, you will get different size wingtips in the box.
If you are using Samsung or Android phone, you can cuztomize touch control actions by using Samsung Wearable apps. The touch control are conventient, with single, double and triple touch, you can use it for different control.
The charing case, it's very small, I can easily put it into my packet. It can give you additional listing time. The charging case has USB-Type C charging port and also support wireless charging. You should able to get 6 (earbuds) + 7 (charging case) hours listing time. I use it in my conference call, my colleagues can hear my voice without any issue.
If you have Samsung or Android phone, Samsung earbuds is a very good choice for you. This is most compact true wireless earphones I used.

Wireless mini concert

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Buds are like a mini concert in your ears!! First, as much as you want to play with your new toy you must charge your ear buds. Thank goodness it doesn't take that long. After the ear buds are fully charged it is setup time. Setup was quick and easy through Bluetooth, it only took a few seconds! Directions not necessary to hook up, YES it's that easy!!
Later I took out the directions to look at them, only because I wanted to maximize my experience. I added the Samsung Galaxy Buds to my Galaxy Wearable App. I already had this app downloaded to my phone. Again really easy to pair the buds to this app and you have so many more options. I highly recommended that you do this.
You can find your buds if you misplace them. You can adjust the sound.
I also like that you can use one Samsung Galaxy Bud at a time if you choose.
I'm a very active person and not once did I feel like the Samsung Galaxy Buds were uncomfortable or going to fall out of my ears. I was shaking and jumping, dancing, around with my music playing.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds do come with different ear piece sizes, I think that's nice, so they fit snuggled inside your ear or you can find the size that works for you!
I love my Samsung Galaxy Buds and I know you will too! #GalaxyBudsInsiders #GalaxyBuds

Great all around headphones

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't know what to expect after buying these but I was pleasantly surprised. I work in some noisy conditions and was impressed with how well they blocked out noise, while still providing quality audio. I am able to mow the lawn without needing ear muffs to still hear the music. However, these go under ear muffs extremely well, while remaining comfortable.
The ambient noise feature is also nice to help me stay alert while working outdoors and to hear my coworkers get my attention at my desk.
Being able to wirelessly charge them is awesome too. I love being able to just throw the case on onef my chargers.
Overall, these headphones exceeded my expectations of them.

Love My Samsung Galaxy Buds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Phenomenal performance design, light weight. So many amazing features. AKG provides dynamic clear sound. You can pause music, answer phone. Tap to answer/change songs, voice command to get help from Bixby or Google. Earbuds have customizable feature with Galaxy Wear App. INSTANT pairing and connectivity. Another great feature is with a Galaxy S10 can charge the earbuds laying it on back of phone. These earbuds work great with I-pad too. It has an ambient mode so you're aware of surrounding. 13 hours of battery. Love that case doubles as a charger which is great when traveling and on the go. One full charge is 6 hours play time, with charging case another 7 hours. Fit comfy with 3 adjustable eartips and wing tips for best fit. Doing house work and exercise they don't fall out. Water and sweat resistant. Awesome feature of being able to put charging case on back of phone to charge. Great of when traveling you don't need to pack a lot of cords. When you take earbuds out there is a sensor to shut them off. On Galaxy Wear app you can find earbuds if misplaced. Love, love, love these. Amazing features in such small earbuds. I'm learning each day something new they do.
I have talked to several friends on phone, who all have said they can hear me very clear sound from my end is clear. I let a friend listen to them and showed several features, she is now going to buy a pair. My daughter in law put them on her Christmas list. Another older friend has trouble hearing on phone, I let that person listen to them doing a test call. They were amazed of clear they were able to hear. These tiny tech miracle makes strong first impressions.!

lightweight and powerful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second attempt at the Galaxy in-ear headphones. Last years IconX were a nice intro, but had some flaws as time passed. The new buds took many of those flaws and improved them!. Starting with the size. a nice compact size but beautiful big sound. Clarity for me is a plus. I want to be able to have a call and listen to music with the same headset. I've worn them through the course of a work day to listen to music with one ear in and one out and its awesome. I noticed for my ears I can go about 3 hours steady, before the tragus part of my ear starts to feel some discomfort. The great news about that is that after those 3 hours of music play my bud still had plenty of life and because I only use 1 ear at a time I can pull the left one out and pop the right one in and go with 100% battery on my other ear! During that same charge I can then take my headset to the gym put in 1.5 hours and not get any distortion, skipping or disconnection problems due to low battery life. Just a tip don't put the other headset in your pocket without the case. The sensor keeps picking up that its touching the pocket and makes the other bud in your ear skip. This model doesn't let you transfer music from the wearable app like the galaxy buds. I only used that option a few times with the Icon X so I won't miss it. The galaxy buds have a feature where you can modify the touch function by default I have volume up and down which is different than previous model. Not sure if I love it or not yet. Previous model you could swipe up and down for volume control and yes you would get a ton of accidental swipes instead of taps and the track would skip when in reality all you wanted to do is turn it up, this model corrects that by having you hold the right ear to turn it up and left ear to turn it down. Since many times I only use 1 bud this is not ideal so I have to use the phone. Those its not ideal for the single bud user it has definitely stopped the accidental track skip when adjusting volume. The pairing process was simple and you do have to use the wearable app to customize the ear buds, but nothing wrong with that all in-ear buds that I have used with customizable features have to do the same thing. This years model of in-ear headphones are definitely moving in the right direction. Great sound clarity and noise isolation along with dual functionality from daily life to gym sweat protection ranks these as the best set of in-ear buds that I own! From lunch to gym they stay put!

Pretty awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I received my Galaxy Buds a couple of days ago and wanted to really try them out before writing my review.
Let me just say these things are awesome! They paired with my Note 9 with ease. The sound and clarity are definitely top notch. I was worried they wouldn't be loud enough for me like so many ear buds are. But these are superb!
They are so lightweight I can even tell they are in my ears! I love that I can adjust the bass and what not with the Samsung wearables app. The battery life seems to be pretty good. I've not had a problem with them dying during use so that's always a plus!

The quality of calls is on point as well. Very clear and not crackly and no echo on either end of the call.
Definitely would recommend! 10 out of 10 from me!
