So I have to admit my wife has the Iphone and we purchased her the wireless earbuds for those... So to prove how much better Samsung was I purchased these.. I have not been disappointed. They fit in my ear well and don't hang like the apple earbuds. You are able to switch out the ear holders as they provide several in the box. I decided to test and see if they would fall out my ear when i jumped around and they did not they stayed right in. The sound is great and I can hear very well when making phone calls. To sum it up these are worth the money and as the saying goes. You get what you pay for and I am not disappointed.

Good sound, fit really well. Sometimes the bluetooth connection goes in and out. Has decent range. Wish it had magnets to hold in case. Holds charge for good amount of time.

I had the 2016 Gear Iconx and what a difference. The battery is much better, they sound great, and are more comfortable than Airpods.

I have been playing with headphones and ear buds for many years to Beats solo 2. I picked up Jabra Elite True wireless. No bass but good connection. Samsung Icons 2018 are one of the best earbuds I have listened to. Bass and treble are perfect. They fit perfect and connect to anything with no interruptions unlike any Apple product. So impressed I have been recommending it to everyone. They also hold 8gb of music. I have 50 songs with no device and doesn't even take up a gig. I use them mostly for working out

Love the freedom of wireless earbuds. Connected easily to my S7. Love the 4G of storage - great to have music even without phone. Could use a little more volume. Also, the ambient sound feature seems to be a non-function.

I tried the Jabra Elite but there wasn't much bass and the volume doesn't get very loud. I bought the GearIconX 2018 and they are the best Tue wireless ear buds I've heard. Gets loud, fits comfortable, and has bass. The sound quality is better than most ear buds. Definitely recommend.

I needed true wireless headphones for the gym. Nothing is more frustrating than getting into a good workout only to snag the cord on your ear buds and yank them out. Ouch. The sound quality is awesome (except when the batter starts to get low and they crackle a bit). The volume can actually get quite loud as well! I use these while running, on the elliptical, lifting weights, doing plyometrics- all while sweating like crazy! These headphones stayed perfect in place for me. The touch controls were also surprisingly easy for me to pick up on. The ambient sound mode is an awesome feature! It also has the ability to filter voices specifically, which is helpful so that you aren't removing them to hear someone speaking to you, just turn the music volume down a little (ambient noise volume is controlled separately through the app). The battery life is great too! I haven't measured it precisely, but I've used them at the gym all week, and I go for a minimum of 2 hours every day, just replacing them into the charging case when I'm done (after cleaning them a bit) and I am able to use them day after day! Occasionally I will plug the case in to charge for a little while before/ after a workout real quick just for that extra sense of security (nobody wants to lose music during a good sweat sesh AmIRight?).
Another thing I didn't see advertised or reviewed with these before I purchased is the ability to take calls with the headphones in. You can use the touch controls to answer and end calls, the other person had no trouble hearing me (and not the background noise of the gym might I add). I also didn't feel the need to shout to be heard, and the voice quality was top notch! Awesome for the days after you do arms/ chest/ back when you're sore and don't want to hold your phone up to your ear during a call!
The only issue I have is that even
using the smallest of attachments, they are still pretty big for my ears, though I do have veryy small ears. Getting them in took some time to figure out (just pinch the top of your ear when placing them and pull up while pushing the bud in), but once I got that down, they go right in first try and don't move at all. The manual was a little confusing so let me tell you- these are meant to sit IN your ear, with the top attachment resting INSIDE of the little fold of your ear. That's how they keep in place so well.
They do leave a little pain where the top of the ear bud rests if I leave them in for more than a couple hours, but I think that's mostly because my ears are so small.
All in all, I am very happy with these, as they are my first wireless headphones they have exceeded my expectations!
**I bought the gray (love the color, more gray though and less white like the pictures seem, not a big difference though still very cute).
I use them with my Samsung Galaxy S8. Very easy to connect and they auto connect every time you open the case.

I was originally nervous about buying these headphones, as I haven't had much luck in the past with earbuds, even hooked ones likes these, staying in my ears. These headphones stay put, even during strenuous workouts. I haven't had them long enough to judge the batteries, but the fact that the carrying case is also a charger is a really nice addition. They sound great, and block out external noise fairly well.

I was tired of searching for the perfect headphones. Tired of the over the neck ones that get in the way and one ear magically stops working. So I did some research and since I'm such a Samsung loyalist I decided to give these a try after reading countless reviews. These are great. They fit great in your ear, they hold tight in your ear during activities. The sound quality is good. The battery life is great. You can also use only one at a time if you so choose. Great product. Glad I decided on these. I'm not payed by Best Buy, nor Samsung. I'm just someone who is honest and someone who will spread the word on something great.

These have such a great sound for being in ear headphones, they actually have bass! The battery life is great as well, I use these every time I am at the gym. They are very secure in my ear, unlike other in ear options.

I'm a Samsung fan. The clarity isn't bad or the design. But the left ear loses connection fairly regular. I've read this numerous times but it is accurate. If you don't mind that, they sound nice, are comfortable, and has a lot of bells and whistles.

These earbuds provide great sound quality and noise isolation. They are fairly comfortable and with the right tips provide a great fit.
The batter life is quite good and recharge quickly.
Overall the best pair of earbuds I've tested.

Had the first generation that had poor battery life. The battery life has doubled with this model. My only issue is ear fatigue. Heavier buds hurt after a few hours.

Sound is superb. I like the wireless aspect, the case which recharges the earbuds, the music storage capability, and also the quantity of music that can be stored on the earbuds. I would definitely choose these again!

So, excellent build quality, great battery life and very comfortable, but this whole volume degradation problem needs solved. After a few weeks the volume will become gradually lower it's from earwax and sweat and all that ( I'm very particular about my ear cleanliness too). But for $200 this should've been figured out after the first generation.

My husband got these after I got my airpods because, like me, he wanted to match his phone, which is a Samsung. He loves them. They fit great in his ears, they sound great and he can turn on the ambient sounds feature and still hear me talk lol. The battery life is superb ink these things and he can put music on them so when he's working out he doesn't have to have his phone with at all. If I didn't have my airpods this would be something I'd want to buy for myself.

I wanted some good quality wireless buds and thats what I got. I do get a little irritated with making and recieveing calls, I think I just need to get used to how many taps does what. Connection is awesome but I hate that I can't turn them off. If i want to use my phone instead of the buds, sometimes i have a hard time getting the buds to disconnect. which definitely hurts the battery life. I do love that I can store songs on them without having my phone with me. The pros out weigh the cons for sure.
