Samsung - Galaxy Buds+ True Wireless Earbud Headphones - Black

When I first tried the original Galaxy Buds, they were a revelation to me because they were the first true wireless earbuds I ever had. I have since owned and used different over the ear noise cancelling headphones, and true wireless earbuds with noise cancelling. However, I still found myself very excited to try out the new Galaxy Buds+ and so far here are my thoughts: WHAT THESE DO WELL: - The portability and ease of use remain the greatest quality of the Galaxy Buds line. The Buds+ case is so small that they can easily go in your pocket or throw them in your bag without being too bulky. After the initial set up (which is quick), all I had to do is flip open the case and they popped up on my Galaxy S10+ which was nice. - The design of the Buds+ themselves are once again discrete and out of the way. Everything is self-contained with nothing that sticks out away from the Bud and I think that is the way these true earbuds should be designed to look! - Another thing these maintain are the Wireless charging and USB-C charging interface. Both are very forward thinking and make it easy to charge them with the rest of your USB-C products. - The sound is really a great step up for the Buds+ headphones! You can tell there is better clarity and deeper bass than the original Buds. Overall I am very impressed with the audio immersion these supply while being in a such a small package. - Lastly, the Buds+ are excellent workout headphones! Seriously they never pop out no matter if I’m running, walking, at the gym, or playing sports. Really they work well in any environment. WHAT THESE ARE MISSING: - The biggest feature the Buds+ are missing are Active Noise Cancelling (ANC). I thought for sure Samsung would add this feature to the Buds+ given that other companies have done with same with their true wireless earbuds but I understand that Samsung wanted to maintain the small design and improve battery life in exchange for no ANC. - That being said, I compared the Buds+ to more expensive true wireless earbuds with ANC and you can definitely tell the difference in the two. However, in my opinion as of early 2020, ANC in true wireless earbuds are nothing compared to that of ANC in over the ear style headphones. Sure it creates a vacuum affect but when you are not playing music it does not drown out sound that much. - Other than that, these headphones really have everything you would want in a pair of true wireless earbuds. GALAXY BUDS VS GALAXY BUDS+ - The main question I suspect people will have are: why would I buy these over the original Galaxy Buds? Yes, the two devices largely look the same besides some minor cosmetic changes. Still, there are four main reasons why you should choose these over the original Buds: Better Sound Quality, insane battery life, improved calls, and Apple Compatibility. - As stated above, the sound is a much needed improvement to the original Buds. I used the Buds for their portability and ease of use, knowing the sound was just fine. Now I will use the Buds+ knowing that they can perform so much better and will be that much more enjoyable to use. - The battery life is not even a competition. The Buds+ have 11 hours of listening on one charge plus the case provides an additional full charge meaning its 22 hours total. The Original Buds had 6 hours per charge and 13 hours with the case. - The Buds+ also have 3 total microphones compared to the Buds 2 microphones. I have definitely noticed better call quality while using these which are a huge plus for me because I love using the Buds+ for calls. - Lastly, Samsung released an Apple iOS app for the Buds+ which make them much more useful when connecting them to an Apple device. That might not be super useful to some of you, but I think it's always better to have more compatibility than less. BOTTOM LINE: - After a week or month of using the Galaxy Buds+ I believe they will quickly become your go to earbuds. Sure you may get better sound out of more expensive headphones or noise cancelling earbuds, but you will not get the do it all utility of the Buds+ at this price point anywhere else. They sound great, have nice call quality, are simple to use, will last forever, and can be used anywhere you need to use headphones. The Buds+ will once again be the only headphones I use everyday and I think it will be for you too.

When I first unpackaged the EarBuds so surprised by how easy it was to connect the buds to my phone. All I had to do was connect once and every time I opened the case it would automatically connect. I was messing with the Wear app and I passed by the ambient mode section so I tested each one individually, and really liked that I could still hear what I wanted t hear to I went with the medium setting of course that is what I prefer. The part of the Buds that had me in aww was the touch controllers they are very sensitive to touch and I love I can customize the touch with the Wear app. In all I am very satisfied with the purchase that I made. : )

So I am no audiophile. I do however still want a clean sound. I use these at the office (home until the shelter-in is lifted) and for walks. I both listen to music and make phone calls. I was using Bose SoundLink AE wireless headset for awhile, but wanted in-ear buds instead. I love the Bose, they sound amazing and have a great battery life, but I just cannot stand having over-ear headsets. So I wanted to find some true wireless earbuds that sounded great, with a clean sound and nice bass profile. The Good: - Price -- although they don't have ANC, they are priced well below other premium earbuds and sound great with great features and build quality. - Excellent sound IMO - Nice bass without drowning out the mids and highs -- I used the app (Galaxy Wearable) to change the EQ to Dynamic and it sounds awesome! Also, if you Google it, there are some great YouTube tricks to update the settings on your phone to further max out the sound quality. Note, I have a Galaxy S10+. - Great sound quality on phone calls - Volume -- I hate when earbuds are low volume. These bad boys can get super loud. BUT, for some weird reason out of the box the max volume is very low. I almost returned them, as the instructions doesn't tell you how to increase the volume to their full potential. Thankfully I found a YouTube video that walks you through maxing out the volume. - Like the ambient sound feature for phone calls (which has different levels) - Very comfortable in my ear -- can wear for hours - They don't fall out -- I can go for brisk walks and runs and they stay in without losing a seal (which is important to have good sound) - The battery life is great -- 11 hours + another 11 hours with charging case - They look great -- very sleek and don't stick too far out of your ears - Solid build -- I bought a pair of Mpow M5 earbuds and although they were pretty nice, they had some quality issues - IPX2 rating -- good enough for working out or walks without worrying about damaging them from sweating - Tap control - I didn't want to have to click a button with earbuds, as that can get annoying. The Buds+ are pretty good with the sensitivity of the taps and the controls are just what I need: volume, pause, skip, answer calls, etc. - Customizable with the app -- can check battery status, customize sound with the preset EQ settings, and more. - Pairing -- maybe because I have a Samsung Galaxy phone, but as soon as I opened the case they paired right away with my phone - Independent ear buds -- these ear buds can be used independently, as opposed to the right ear bud being the main bud and the left dependent, which can cause bluetooth sync issues. Plus, if one of your ear buds is lower on battery, you can use the other for calls. I also think the sound quality is better with independent setup. - Noise isolation -- I had to put on the large eartips and are able to seat them nicely in my ears, which blocks out external noises very well. I don't need ANC as the isolation is fine for me. - Charging case -- very nice and solid. Love the magnets and the case is small enough to easily carry around. - Auto-reconnect -- they automatically reconnect to my phone when I open the case The Bad (there's nothing bad with them, but just less good LOL): - Can only pair with 1 device at a time. I guess you can pair more than one Samsung Galaxy device with the app -- but for non-Samsung devices, this is not possible. I have to unpair them from my phone in order to pair with my laptop for example. - Having to put the earbuds in the case to pair. I tried pairing while they were in my ears, to change devices, but didn't work for me. - No active noise cancelling (ANC) -- but for me that's not a problem as they seat in my ears well and isolate outside noise quite well. - Poor documentation -- I think it's crazy that I was nearly about to return these because the volume was so low and the sound quality initially was weak. But once I found some great tips on YouTube it changed everything - Sometimes taking them out of my ears and putting them into the case, I accidentally tap them and start music playing or something -- nothing serious. Bottom line, I think for most users, especially if you have a Samsung Galaxy phone, these are fantastic. They are not perfect by any means, but all around great and I am pleased with my purchase.

I’m not the type to write reviews but these deserve input. They are literally the best truly wireless earbuds. I have had the AirPod gen2, AirPod Pro, Jabra 75t, Beats pro, and I've even had the galaxy earbuds. Which I returned because I wanted the Galaxy app for my iPhone to adjust settings. Well, Samsung did it right this time with the buds+. As soon as I found out that there was an app for iOS, I ran to Best Buy and purchased them. Hands down the best of the best and that’s coming from someone who has been searching for the right earbuds for a very long time.

I've tried numerous headphones and ear buds recently. Being a huge music fan, whatever I use is used hours each day. So, typically I find some problem within a few days of purchase. 30 days after purchasing the Samsung earbuds, I have not found any problems or deficit in performance. I am very pleased with these ear buds and I'm sure you will be too.

Here is the simple truth. AirPods Pro are the best wireless earbuds WITH the ANC feature. Galaxy Buds+ are the best wireless earbuds WITHOUT the ANC feature. I love my Galaxy Buds+ and would highly recommend them to family or friends. Here are the positives: - Great sound...better than my AirPods - Great bass...better than my AirPods - Great all day battery life - Available in 3 colors - No latency on mobile games or YouTube - The companion app works for iOS and Android - Mics were bad last year but they are great now for calls Here are the negatives: - No ANC - Bluetooth range is average - Glossy case is a fingerprint and scratch magnet Bottomline...these are the best wireless earbuds that aren’t AirPods Pro. They have the best sound and the best bass at an affordable price. The 11 hour battery life is legit. The biggest flaw last year was the mic call quality but that’s been fixed this year. I wish they had ANC because once you use that feature on an airplane or noisy environment...earbuds without that feature don’t have the same overall user experience. If you’ve never used ANC you won’t notice and these will do you just fine especially if you want to save $100.

Fabulous work great no noises background hear unlike the other buds released. Thanks best buy!

I already own a black pair and my favorite color is red so when they came out I had to get them.
