Not a fan of the "Blade" design, it seems like Samsung gave into peer pressure and all design personality was lost with this itteration. There is also a lack of function as the controls have you pinch the blade instead of tap, this means I can no longer use them fingerless. The buds 2 pro i could have dirtly hands or gloves on and use my wrist to accept a call or change songs but that is not possible with the pinch controlls. I do not notice any change in sound qaulity in comparison to the Buds 2 pro, both sound good.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Only my left one works and I've only had them 2 weeks. I called Samsung about them and was told the return or trade in policy is for 1 week. They don't stay charged long and I only have 1 that works. It was a waste of money!
