    I wanted to like these so bad. I live the small case and the wireless charging. They just did not fit my ear right and hurt after a bit. Definitely depends on your ear shape.

    They were uncomfortable maybe because i have small ears but i wouldn’t recommend to someone with small ears or someone who likes to keep their earbuds in for long periods

    Do not fit small ears! Kept falling out and hurt after 30 minutes. Why can't anyone make these for small adult ears???!! Also battery life is terrible. Didn’t last through the day. I wanted to love them because the connectivity is great and sound was incredible but they just don't fit. NONE of the Samsung earbuds fit...all too big and uncomfortable

    2 stars for how pretty the color is but wasn’t for me sound wise. That price point is also too high for the performance. Returned.

    These work really well. I just wish i could use them while jogging. They just fall right out. Sometimes they fall out just when I'm walking.

    They just keep falling out. I've tried both tips and 3rd party accessories. It depends on the ear shape, my ears are just a little too small for these sadly.

    These ear buds are really sleek and cool looking. But, they are functionally very poor. Audio quality & ease of use are both severely lacking. Either something is wrong with this particular piece or samsung got this seriously wrong. I was travelling so unfortunately , I am out of the return window but I may need to throw these and get new ones.

    Average at best

    I read all the reviews on the earbuds and the reviews were great. I purchased them and after I got home hooked him up to my Samsung phone. The sound was only average at best. I attempted to hook him up to my home computer. No problems with connections. The earbuds still did not sound great at all and were average at best. I have a set of Samsung earbuds in the past and they sounded great. That was the main reason I decided to give these the shot. I returned the earbuds and got a refund.

    Ear buds are to big for the ear area. If you are sensitive around the ear do not recommend.

    This is the second pair I have replaced. The left ear bud constantly disconnects or when it plays has a second delay so the music sounds like it is echoing. I have updated the software, updated the app in the phone. It is on a Samsung S9+ and the second pair is doing the same as the first. Would not recommend buying this model. They fit fine, make good phone calls but are horrible for music or streaming.
