    I thought these were supposed to be excellent earbuds but honestly my experience with them arent good at all while they do remaine in your ear sometimes you have the feeling if them falling out and when you push them in they shut off. I have had conversations on the phone and the other party could barely hear me or they just cut off and yes they were charged. At this point i dont know what would be the best ones to get.

    Not what I was hoping for. They remind me of the first gen AirPods with the shiny gloss feel. Tried to use these for regular gym sessions. Mainly on weightlifting and some occasional cardio on the stair master. Not really ideal for me. Periodically the earbuds would become lose and slip when lifting, and would kill my groove. Same with cardio. The sensors would deactivate the music (Spotify) but continue to give me notifications from other apps?? Honestly just use them for studying now and non moving activities, even then they’ll slide out slowly but surely. I tried changing the tips small, and large… but didn’t help. The small ones got lodged in my ear and I could barely pull them out, large ones didn’t seal anything. The sound and audio cancellation are good for the price range. When they do seal well the sound is great and really nice. The touch sensors will decide if they want to work or not when you press them… the battery is really nice though. Can go maybe 9 hours of nonstop playback and not have to recharge then often. App is a bit glitchy but im ok with it due to using an iPhone.

    Honestly disappointed with these buds. Under 30 days of use and they are incredibly unreliable. Was unable to return because Best Buy only allows 14 day returns on these. Samsung manufacture has 1 year warranty, but when "repaired" issues come back intermittently. Issues I've faced within 1 month of owning: -Doesn't always charge, I often end up with 1 earbud fully charged and 1 earbud at 30% after taking out of case. -When ANC Active, Constant Ringing/Whining in left earbud and when ANC Off, no sound whatsoever. -Physical design imo is worse than the Buds1, this is more subjective but these fall out of my ears way easier than the Buds 1 and I'm constantly fiddling with them to keep them in even when resting on an airplane not doing anything physical. Fiddling with them causes the touch controls to interrupt my media and controls. -Mic often doesn't work during calls, might be a connectivity thing. When they work they sound solid though which is why 2 stars.

    They sound great, but they don't stay in your ear. Tried many of the ear fittings, but it is the design if these buds bulkiness and shape that make them fall out. During on conversation of 45 minutes one of them fell out 3 times. In addition there is nothing to feel when accidentally hanging up on someone or stopping the song. Many design flaws in these buds and I tried working with these for 2 weeks hoping I could find a way. Do yourself a favor and get the Galaxy Buds FE, The sound quality is almost the same if not identical and they stay in your ear and have a flat surface on them so you know what to press for functionality.

    I love the fit and the noise-cancelling when I listen to music. The only downside is when I make calls I'm told I sound muffled. So I'm unable to enjoy the convenience of putting my phone down to talk because I have to end up holding the phone instead of using the earbuds!

    Good sound quality. Good battery life. Somewhat slow to connect. Unusable tap functions (can't change volume, pause, forward, etc without using handset). Noise cancellation seems to be good. I feel like I'm being told I'm breaking up or I sound like I'm in a tunnel way too often. Should be way better for the money.

    They are really comfortable - wore them for 8+ hours and they felt fine. The battery life is good too. But I'm returning them because they just will not stay in my ears. Apparently on reddit it seems a ton of people also say they don't stay in their ears either so I guess it's a thing with this model of buds. Also, I don't believe the noise canceling is any good, probably because they don't actually fit and stay in my ears.

    Cons: These earphones fall out easily. They don't fit snug in the ears and they feel so smooth to the touch is hard to drop them. Im past the return date, but if i could return them, I would. Im going to have to be so careful with them. Pros: its nice that the case is chargeable, they hold a long charge and the noise canceling feature is excellent, easy to connect

    I ended up returning these wireless headphones. The two main issues i had with them was 1. It was too quiet. At max volume, i inly heard my music or TV show at a "normal" volume. This could be because of the 2nd issue. 2. It did not fit my ear. No matter the size of the rubber piece I chose, it was not fitting correctly in my ear. Lastly, is the price. It was on sale when I bought it. In total, i recall it costing me 160 dollars. For what i got, it was not worth it. I got a pair of JBL headphones for only $50 dollars, and they have been superb. If you want to save your money, i recommend that brand instead.

    While they feel nice and have a great battery life they are worse for phone calls than a $20 pair of wireless earbuds from a Gass station. Honestly regret this purchase. I am on-call 24/7 for emergency response and have to answer emergency calls while in a number of situations and if there is the slightest background noise my customers can't hear me at all. Very frustrating and going to a cheapo until I can afford some new Raycons as i never had this trouble with them. I thought the bigger price tag was an upgrade how wrong i was

    Sound quality is great but fit is terrible! I have had galaxy buds for years and I love them so when I lost one I was crushed. I did my research and everyone said the galaxy buds 2 were best for the money. Well I disagree! No matter what I did they popped out and fell out of my ears! I tried all 3 nubs and none of them worked. I couldn't even keep a phone call connected without holding it in my ear. Unless you have big ears these are not good. I did love the purple though.

    Good quality sound and really easy sinc with phone, however i couldnt get them to stay in my ears. Did the test fit on phone and says they are perfect fit. They are not. Ok for if your sitting and listening. If you are moving around, in pool or exercising, they would fall out. Ended up returning them.

    Sound is great...but: 1. Cannot fully manage them with iphone. I should have researched first. 2. They are not well designed for working out. I'm constantly having to push them back into place. 3. The buttons are very finicky. See #2. Since they are touch #2 causes issues with constant pausing etc that was unintentional.
