Isolates you from distracting noises so you can stay focused on what you want. If you'd like to filter in some of the outside world to be more in-tune with your surroundings, you can switch on Ambient Aware.²

One-touch UI with Spotify
Pause your playlist, answer calls, skip tracks, and adjust the volume simply by tapping the earbuds. Customize your touch commands for a more personalized experience, even create your own shortcuts, such as opening Spotify instantly with one long press.
¹ Average battery life of Galaxy Buds+ without charging is up to 11 hours, based on typical use. The case provides up to another 11 hours of battery life for Galaxy Buds+ when Galaxy Buds+ are stored and charged between use. Battery life will vary.
² Features, including Ambient Aware, are enabled through the Galaxy Wearable app on Android available through Google Play Store and the Galaxy Buds+ app on iOS devices available through App Store.
³ Connection pop-up window will appear only on the Samsung mobile devices running Android 7.1.1 or later that have the SmartThings app installed. If the pop-up window does not appear, update the SmartThings app to the latest version.
⁴ Wireless PowerShare limited to the Samsung or other brand smartphones and accessories with WPC Qi wireless charging. Check samsung.com for compatibility. May not work with certain accessories, covers, or other brand devices.

Excellent pair for my Galaxy 9!
|Posted .Owned for 6 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I've been a Jabra 65t Elite user for 2+ years, and while those are still going strong, they are stuck on micro-USB charging instead of USB-C. Although these say refurb, they arrived in almost new condition and worked flawlessly. They sound output is great and these are comfortable and light to the point I will forget I have them on after a few minutes if there is not music/sound coming out of them. The case for storage is compact and has a magnet to help these stay in place (and prevent them from accidentally falling out). They work wonderfully with the Galaxy 9 and Note 9 (like they should) and the app does a great job letting you customize settings as well as show you remaining battery of each individual ear bud. Unlike a lot of other bluetooth earbuds, you can use these individually. The only negative I've experienced to these is a design flaw -- if you let the battery completely drain to 0% it will no longer charge in the case and the earbuds appear to be dead. The ear buds need like 1% of battery to register for the case to charge them. So when it is a completely empty at 0% the earbuds will not even register and appear to be defunct. Thankfully some quick Google-ing showed me this was a semi-documented problem with a relatively easy fix. While I'm glad there was a workaround, I don't feel it needed a special magic trick to get it working again. The other way to avoid this is to not let it completely drain to 0% =P. Overall, I am satisfied with the product and think BestBuy's refurb allowed me to snag a product at a great deal.

Refurb package incomplete
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I saved a few bucks by going with the refurbished package rather than new. The earbuds work well and I'm very happy with them. See other reviews for performance. But my package lacked the size of ear tips and wingtips that I needed - and what was included was the wrong color. I could return the whole package, but they are good enough for what I need. If a reliably complete package is important to you, spend the extra on the new package.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Battery lifeMost satisfied with my buds+ purchase. The battery life was the main selling point for me and battery life is what I got and then some. The music quality and the ambient sound we're a couple of nice upgrades worth mentioning off the top. 10/10.

Great Value
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5These arrived with one pair of missing ear tips, however the ones I needed were included so it’s not the end of the world. The battery lasts much longer than it’s competitors. Doesn’t have noise cancellation but I own a pair of Bose headphones with noise cancellation and honestly I never use it. They seal quite well in the ear so outside noise really isn’t an issue, if you want to hear what’s going on around you you can do that with the ambient surround feature although I don’t think it works that well so I turn it off. The touch controls can be toggled on or off and I usually like to leave them off. The sound quality is decent, not the clearest set of buds I own and not the loudest but for the price I paid you really can’t beat it.

Q: QuestionIs there anything defects when the buds are refurbished?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes there is at times. I usually get refurbished items, because they're cheaper of course. 99% of the items I've bought as refurbished have lasted me awhile. So far the only 2 instance s I've had issues with was, a computer monitor that I got refurbished that I had to take off sleep mode, because it would go into sleep mode, and when it would "wake up", it started going crazy trying to wake up. But I just took it off sleep mode, and problem solved. The other problem was much more serious. I ordered these same earbuds from another site as refurbished. Those turned out defective. I charged them, and I assume they were fully charged, but my S20+ could not connect to them. So I returned them to that site, and bought these refurbished here on Best Buy, and so far they've turned out to be great! I've not encountered any problem. As soon as I charged them, and opened the case, my phone started the connection process. I hope this helps you.
