The headphones work fine, but the battery dies within thirty minutes so it's very inefficient.

Very high quality product and the price is right, the convenience is worth it all. I'm not sure how the audio compares to air pods but these sound great. The battery life isn't as good as pods but they also don't have stems coming out of them and the case doesn't store as much battery but it also comes in a smaller and more convenient size as well. Very easy to set up, the only downside is the ambient sound (ability to hear outside audio through the mics) feature isn't great on my Galaxy S10e. It's just enough to pass but it could be much better. They fit snug and have options in case the sizing isn't right. Regardless, still well worth the money if you're looking for well priced convenience.

Ok so this isnt my first pair of earbuds, and being that these are Samsung buds. I was looking forward to some really good earbuds, if not the best. The previous reviews and ratings were good so I was excited! I have a Note 9 so pairing was easy. Once that was done I instantly put on some music on and was disappointed 😔 I played around with the EQ in the app settings. That didn't work, I changed the earbud sizes thought maybe that was it and nope. I like bass and loud sound, I like to feel my music. I could barely hear it on max volume on my phone. I called my mom. She told me they sound clear and I sound good. I was happy with the call quality on my end. So then I went back to my music issue, and tried the "noise cancelling" feature. I'm not completely sold on that yet. I rather just tap the earbud and pause the music instead of putting on ambient sound. I didnt like that echo type feeling so much. So with those 2 things I was ready to send them back. Because the earbuds were really lacking in sound. Until I started reading some more reviews on Amazon. I'm sooo glad I did this, if you have an android phone go to your settings- connectivity- bluetooth- Advance. Click media volume sync and problem solved!!! 😁😉👍🏾 I'm happy! loud enough, good enough bass for me. Oh and the call quality was good! So if you experience the same volume issue try that. It made all the difference, because I was going to return them.

I love these way more than I thought I would. I bought them when they went on sale because I was sick of my Power Beats 3 getting pinched behind my neck on barbell squats and tangled on other movements. These cancel noise way better, are more intuitive to control and require less charging as they charge in the case and the case seems to need charging less often than my Power Beats did. I still think the sound quality was slightly better in the Power Beats, but if it is, it's negligible. When used for phone calls people say they here me very clearly. All around great! Very happy I bought them.

Reason for 5 stars? Simple. If you were expecting over the top headphones that are completly wireless your drunk, go home, dont buy wireless headphones right now. The Sound is very good. Decent bass, ive heard people complain about the volume, but for me they are fine. Im not deaf and at full volume they are decently loud. Now at first i had connection issues with it breaking up, but if fixed itself soon after. The only thing i would fix is the charging cases battery life. Against the airpods 20 hours, 7 hours recharge time is nothing. But they have 6 hours playback time vs airpods 5. Though i have listened to airpods and the buds have slightly better sound quality and are better designed to isolate sound outside of you. These buds also future touch pads on the side wich let you activate volume controls, ambient sound, pause / skip forward/ skip backwards/ play, and yes before the airpods 2 activate your voice assistant google or bixby. Overall a great headset for a being wireless. These also work with any android or apple device.

I had IconX 2018 for about 1.5 years and got new Samsung Galaxy Buds a week ago. Here is my first impression: The size and weight of S-Buds are about 30% smaller, while the battery life is about 1 hour longer and AKG did a great job on tuning the sound. No doubt, the sound quality of Buds is superior to IconX. The bass level and volume are about the same, but Buds are much cleaner, crisper, and more balanced. When compared side by side, IconX sounded muffled and dull. Based on those criteria, it’s certainly worth to upgrade to S-Buds or have them both for different purposes, see below. HOWEVER, if you use IconX for sports and don’t want to carry your phone around, Buds don’t support this functionality: 1) No build-in storage, that is no autonomous MP3 listening, only Bluetooth streaming through a connected phone 2) No sports functions such as fitness tracking, guidance, etc.
