Small, comfortable and unique
I love these headphones. I like most women have small ears. The Bose looked like I was trying to contact Mars and the Jaybird Free were still clunky. These fit in my ears amazingly without looking like a wierdo when I'm in public. Many people don't even notice I'm wearing headphones. They have 3 sizes of ear plugs and the ear catching thing to ensure a great fit. They also are touch controlled which is very unique to the market and totally worth it. I don't have any issues changing songs or playlists. The case they come in is super cute and small also. It doesn't take up space in your pocket or purse which is nice. An issue I encountered is the general volume is low. Even at it's highest setting (on the phone and headphones) it's still low. Luckily the sound canceling is really nice so you really can hear the music even when it's low. I guess the issue I've had the most problems with is the Bluetooth connection. When I have my phone in my pocket it sometimes drops the connection from Spotify. I haven't had any issues when I connect it to my Samsung Gear Sport watch though (probably because there's never barriers on my wrist). Overall I love these headphones and would highly recommend them.

Awesome for the perfect workout!
The Samsung Gear iconx 2018 version is The Perfect Workout accessory! I love how they fit perfectly in my ear and sound decent. You can put your own music on them or you can use Bluetooth and stream music from your phone. These are basically Samsung's airpods but way better because you can use them on other Android devices. Battery life is great and the new Ambient sound feature makes them even better

Not What I Hoped
I really wanted to like these earbuds. I really did. I just had too many issues to give them a better rating. I'll start with the obvious fact that although I ordered pink, my shipping paperwork says pink, and it clearly says pink on this review, the earbuds I received were NOT pink... They were black. If I had wanted black, humdrum earbuds, I certainly would never have spent this kind of money on them! Now, to the product... I DID like that each earbud is able to work independently of each other. Volume, answering calls, changing the station, etc can all be done with each earbud, or both. That's good because if you use your Bluetooth device a lot, you can get twice the usage from 1 charge... wear 1 while the other is charging. This set of earbuds pairs with the Samsung Gear app, which can be useful, but it can also be a real pain if you don't care for your phone telling you to workout even if you aren't trying to! There is a built-in equalizer which can be adjusted to your own taste. There's also a "find" feature for those days when you misplace 1 of your earbuds. The battery life seemed better than some units I've tried. The ear gels are incredibly thin and flimsy, not to mention uncomfortable and extremely difficult to put on. The sound quality is very good but still not enough to convince me to use them...

Untethered brilliance with a slight learning curve
Samsung's latest addition to the exploding wireless earbud market is an excellent extension of your phone as well as a stand-alone entertainment system. However, there may be a slight learning curve for some users. To start with what makes the IconX great is the sound. Whether you are streaming music or accessing a playlist from the 4GB Storage capacity, the sound quality is very good. When you place them in your ear, you need to do a slight twist, so they firmly sit in your ear, but at that point, there is no concern of them falling out during a workout. With this fit, there are some noise canceling affects that are nice. Samsung also offers an Ambient Sound feature (from the app) that allows you to hear outside conversations so that you do not need to constantly remove the earbuds during use. Another aspect I appreciate about these earbuds is that you don’t have tiny dongles hanging out of your ears which I find to look ridiculous. Next, I love the fact that Samsung included the 4GB storage capabilities (approx. 1000 MP3s), which allows you to detach from your phone when working out or using the earbuds. This also helps extend the battery life a bit. A nice bonus with the IconX charging case is that it will provide your earbuds 1-2 full charges when it is not plugged in, which is an excellent backup feature when you are on the go. The only thing that I would say took a little getting used to is the touchpad controls. Occasionally as I am trying to play/pause music (one tap) or forward to the next song (two taps), I inadvertently start a workout (tap and hold). I have registered a few 0km workouts. However, the workout features are great, and I find to be very accurate. The assisted coaching capabilities can help push you a little further. I tested out the call features with my wife, and she indicated that my voice was very clear and equal if not better than when using the phone as I tend to move the device a lot when speaking. All-in-all, I love these earbuds for working out, doing work around the house, and listening to while I am at work. They have made music even more accessible and are certainly a leader in the wireless earbud market.

Simply the best.
My birthday present. Love them. The freedom of no cords and no phone if I want to go true wireless. Long lasting charge with a short charge time.
