Samsung - Refurbished Galaxy Buds+ True Wireless In-Ear Headphones - White

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.

Arrived dirty. The item was pre-owned but I did not expect them to have ear wax in them. Overall good wireless earbuds. This was my first set of wireless earbuds.

It worked well for a while both ear bud sides, but one day I forgot to charge the right side then started the drama. The case didn't recognize anymore the right side in order to charge. I reinstalled the wear app, but only the left was working. I could not use the other side ever again.

I bought these refurbished because I needed hands free earbuds and didn't wanna go much over 100. Overall, they work great, the software is a bit annoying. I have had some hiccups setting up things. There isn't a really good manual for doing specific setups.

They aren’t bad I’d give 4.0/5.0 stars the sound is decent the wireless is pretty neat and the battery is awesome just wish I had bought them new instead of used but still good either way if u want good battery and sound here ya go for a decent 130-150 true wireless earbuds super comfy and u won’t even notice they are on

These are perfect for me, I like that you can adjust the volume on the buds, unlike my AirPod pro’s. They fit really well. They are definitely noise canceling!

Great i love them use them all the time, i wish I would of gotten them sooner

Great product!! I absolutely love my earbuds. They fit into my ear comfortably. Great investment for the gym.
