Great value for the price
||Posted .I bought these during a sale that brought them down to about half the cost of a pair of Apple AirPods. At or around this price, this is a great value, but also a gamble (the same gamble there is buying anything used.) I specifically bought the white Galaxy Buds+ because the product description gave me the feeling that this particular product number was refurbished by Samsung themselves. I've no clue if that ended up being the case or not, but the package did come missing one set of silicone tips and one set of wings. Thankfully, these are replaceable and inexpensive parts. I did not need these missing parts, personally. The interior compartment containing the aforementioned parts and the charging cable were clearly used by the previous owner. Other than that, the unit I received was in pretty great condition, with no other real signs that it had been used much. Nothing visually needed it, but sanitizing is pretty easy using a microfiber cloth and a dab of isopropyl alcohol. As for the product itself, I was actually a touch disappointed in the sound quality out of the box. It isn't bad, but it only compares to the first-generation Apple AirPods -- and it compares unfavorably to my ears. I suppose I was expecting the huge advantage of a sealed IEM over an open pair of earbuds, but the benefit just doesn't seem to present itself much in terms of sound quality. Again, it isn't bad at all, just not as good as I was expecting (especially considering the MSRP.) Ultimately, I was able to achieve a pleasurable (but still not great) sound using the Samsung Galaxy Buds app on iOS. This app includes a digital user's manual, Ambient Sound mode (which uses the microphones to pipe in ambient sound,) a simple preset equalizer, and a few touch control customization options. The "Dynamic" preset is what I chose. You have 6 options; hopefully one works for you. Finally, the app allows you to disable touch controls entirely. I mention this because they are quite finicky, and hard to avoid when inserting or removing from my ears. I almost always input a command or two when I don't intend to. This boils down to a choice: do I want to be able to easily skip tracks, or do I want to not accidentally push "Play/Pause" almost every time I take these Buds out or otherwise come in physical contact with them? The rest is all great news: the battery life is industry-leading at 11 hours, with a quick-charging case that will give you another 11 hours for an estimated 22 total hours between charges of the case. The case charges via USB-C or wirelessly. It is similarly compact in dimensions as is the Apple AirPods Pro. I was able to achieve a comfortable fit in the ears, and had an easy time acclimating myself to the process of inserting and removing the Buds in their charging case. I've had no issues with playback within a reasonable range (no more than 20 feet away with a few walls in between is about the best I can do to test it!) All things considered, these were a great value at the price I paid, maybe not quite so much so at MSRP.

Great value but not great longevity
||Posted .Owned for 11 months when reviewed.I recieved these in Feburary 21’ and the right bud is now out . However in 11 months ive got a lot of usage out of them with great sound quality and AMAZING battery life, way longer than my airpods, the longest I went was 10 hours until they died of consistent usage . This is a great price but just know its a refurbished/used product so it wont have a long life but it’s amazing while it lasts !

My refurbished pair was in EXCELLENT shape!
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Although the Samsung Galaxy Buds have been upgraded several times over the past four years, I always went back to the Buds+ because even though they're one of the oldest models, they still have a MUCH longer battery life than all the versions that came after it. It wasn't my intention to buy a "refurbished" set, but it was the only white pair Best Buy offered on their website because whenever I accidentally dropped one of my older black ones in the car at night, I could never find it -- even with a flashlight, so I'd always had to wait until morning to retrieve it. These white ones are EASY to find in the dark, so my clumsiness no longer frustrates me. And although the refurbished ones were much less expensive, they didn't show ANY signs of wear and tear, and were as polished and clean as a brand new pair. The only thing missing was a single silicone wing tip, but I never missed it.

Buds+ are better than 1st gen. Refurbished unit.
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Refurbished Galaxy Buds+ This time around, it came with (almost) all original pieces. It came with two wingtips of the same size, which fortunately are the ones I use. This refurbished unit works 100% fine as far as I can tell. Compared to previous version (Galaxy Buds): --------------------------------------------------------------- The Buds+ are a clear, yet somewhat subtle improvement over the previous 1st gen Buds: - More clarity overall in the music (thanks to the dual driver) - More clarity in the sound picked up by the microphone - Significantly longer battery. If you look at frequency response curves and compare to previous version, you may thing there is almost no different in sound (and even a slight drop in bass response). However, the frequency response curves are misleading. Thanks to the new dual-driver, music reproduction is significantly better, with far more clarity in instrument separation (bass and treble). Compared to these, the 1st gen Buds have a "muddy" bass sound. Microphone quality is also an improvement. Overall, so far, quite happy with the sound quality. Moreover, refurbished seems to be 100% functional. Will keep testing in the hope to find any problem before the end of the return period (but hopefully these are a keeper)

Definitely a risk
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This is the second time I buy this and my experience was definitely different this time around. I decided to buy this again as my first pair worked flawlessly for years but I unfortunately lost them recently, however, this time around my second pair came in with some ear wax and not turning on at all. The buds themselves are awesome but you have to decide wether the risk is worth the great value that some working buds can provide.

Great totally wireless buds
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Great quality for the price. They were just like new. Like the fact that you don't have to plug a jack in every time you want to use them. The battery life seems to last a long time between charges. Both music and phone call quality and clarity are excellent. Volume could be a touch louder at full volume but totally adequate.
