Don't use them with a pc
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I dunno how good the are with galaxy phones, but I don't recommend using them with a windows laptop. Poor sounds quality for listening, but mic seems ok, when others hear you.

Terrible connectivity
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my husband. He used them once and sadly had to tell me I made a bad purchase. The sound cuts in and out constantly unless phone is in his hand. Who wants to hold their phone while listening to music? He can't even put his phone is his pocket while walking because the music will cut in and out. Updated software even though just purchased, still happening. Since I purchased as a gift and did so early, it's past Best Buys 15 return policy, Samsung will only exchange for equally terrible ear buds. Pretty expensive for a piece of garbage.

What a disappointment!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to love these but I hated them. Once put in my ears it my surroundings sounded muffled and when making calls the other people had a hard time hearing me. After trying them numerous times i returned it and went back to my JBL wireless earbuds and they worked so much better. Everybody could hear me clearly and my surroundings sounded perfectly clear. I highly recommend you look at other products rather than this even if you have multiple Samsung Galaxy products like I do.

Horrible for use of phone calls!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had been looking for a good pair of Bluetooth headphones to use while at work. The same day i purchased the Samsung galaxy buds every call i answered complained about how they could not hear me or that the call was cutting in and out (super frustrating). I purchased them after reading the reviews and assumed they would be exactly what i was looking for and well now i'm just extremely disappointed. I probably won't be able to return them to best buy anytime soon due to the pandemic which is even more frustrating.

Can't wait to return them
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been meaning to return these but haven't had the time and then Covid hit. For these to be Samsung, the quality is trash. For them to be "earbuds", there's no reason I should ever sound muffled when I'm talking. Whomever I'm talking to can hear what's going on in my background more than they can hear me. Taking them back as soon as I find the charger cord and have time.

Great sound and features at a value price.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was in the market to get a set of truly wireless headphones to replace a set of jaybird freedoms that I use at my work office. I was down to either the Soundsport free Bose or the Jabra elites until I got wind of the galaxy buds. After watching a few video reviews, I went for them and couldnt be happier with my decision. Sound quality is a huge improvement over the jaybirds and more in line with more expensive headphones. They slide in and secure easily. The feature set is exactly what I needed. Each ear piece independently connects/disconnects as you put it in/take it out of your ears. Modern touch controls allow you to adjust volume, pause, play, skip track, rewind track, etc.. I frequently drop my headphones in the case when I need to step away for a bit and maintain charge in the headphones pretty much always. I like that I can just drop the case on the same wireless charging pad as my phone and charge effortlessly.

Not a good product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these buds back on 8/25/2019, the right bud stopped working the next day, me being an idiot decided to send them in to Samsung for a replacement, well that's been well over a month now and still no replacement or refund even with a dozen calls and chat conversations. I should have just brought them back to Best Buy for an exchange, I might actually have ear buds to use right now if I had. Don't ever use the Samsung replacement, they will keep your return and your money, I'm out 130 dollars.

Just for audio
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not so clear and you cant take your calls. When you have an incoming call, you still go to your phone. It is just an ear piece. Not to make or take calls

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They work while not moving around. If your phone is in your pocket don’t plan on hearing much or any quality sound. Go for the upgrade.
