These are an awkward set of earbuds and a step down from the previous pair. The earbud controls are odd; the squeeze to pause and change music almost never works. And the slide up and down to increase and decrease the volume is fiddly and time consuming. Not only that, but when a bud slightly slips out of my ear, it pauses my music or switches my phone call to my phone's speaker, which is annoying. On the good hand, they're lightweight, sound good, and the active noise canceling is solid. Overall a downgrade though.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The first ear buds from Samsung that stay in my ears. I have tried every generation of Samsung ear buds. Every prior generation they fall out of you are being active, these actually don't. Love the feature that mutes what your listening too if you start talking.

These buds work very well for their main purpose. The only drawbacks I have noticed: 1) Noise cancelling does not block out wind. I haven't figured out how to muffle the wind. 2) Three clicks for rewind 30 seconds only works on Audible, but not on YouTube or Spotify. It performs differently on different apps. 3) I still get frustrated while hiking I just want to see what time it is, but I get all kinds of junk, like notifications, text messages and assorted data, but all I want to see is the time.
For the most part they are very comfortable. I like the design. The white pair hasn't made my ears itch like all the others do. They sound great as long as you don't use the ANC its the worse, the piercing sound around electronics, bad bad static I can't use that setting whatsoever. Samsung has to get that together.
