These are amazing for my workout. They play clearly and stay in my ears! It is also sweat resistant as I sweat profusely when I workout. I have an iPhone 11 and would never go back to AirPods. The ear cushions they provide should work for everyone!

Pretty good features but also a couple downsides.
I've had these for over a year and at first I thought they were the best earbud purchase I've ever made! I loved their app and especially the equalizer in the app and their small size that would easily fit in your pocket. They would also charge pretty fast with type C charging and they also had wireless charging. However after about 6 months, I didn't feel the same as I did before. Yes I still loved their app which let me control them to my preferences but they would now start losing audio on one earbud even if it said connected on its app, it also wouldn't connect sometimes even if they were fully charged and weren't connected to any other device. They're overall good but the downsides after about 6 months brings them a bit down.

    Great from all aspects
    Bought then a year ago, and to this day they are the best earbuds at such a price. They stop lots of noise, and have great sound quality. Very little delay, and I like the touch controls.

    Everlasting buds!
    I had my galaxy buds for about a year or so and I have never been more stress free in my life. The great use of my buds is being able to use them where ever I go without being bothered by a long strand of wire. I use my buds on the go while listening to music when I'm out for an exercise and doing chores indoors. One of the great features about my buds that makes it so reliable is being able to turn on/off any background noise. Great use when you're trying to read a book. And like for many or some of you who easily lose a ear piece, the galaxy buds features got you covered by enabling a noise system to locate a missing piece. Which I had to use a couple of times, and the noise locator is very much helpful. My buds are also durable. For a clumsy person as myself, I usually drop my ear pieces on concrete floors or wooden floors; but so far I am very relieved with how durable my buds are that I don't have the need to worry about a piece not working. These buds are worth the purchase if you want to get the feel of how galaxy buds work for your device or day-to-day life.

    The best wireless earbuds
    I bought these in black over a year ago. They've been really great for listening to music and podcasts while operating equipment or flying. I have one complaint though; they'll pop out of my ears after awhile because my ears are always leaking wax and I have oily skin. I haven't found any earbuds that'll stay in my ears though, so I feel like these are worth the money. The sound is great and they are good at cancelling noise.

    Underwhelming But Adequate.
    These Galaxy buds do little to distinguish themselves from the crowd at this price point. The battery life comes in under what they are rated at, but so does every other set of truly wireless earbuds. The touch controls are very responsive, and I dont find myself needing to jam the bud through my ear canal to advance to the next track as I do with some other models. Wireless charging seems like a cool feature but I never found much utility in it because it is so much slower than plugging them in. They pair effortlessly with my S20 and the Samsung Wearable app offers some customization. You won't be disappointed if you buy them but, you wont be wowed either.

    AMAZING!
    When I was ordering these, I had no idea what I was in for. These are by far the best Bluetooth headphones I've ever owned! Very light weight. Never falls out of my ear. The Bluetooth range is amazing. The ambientsound works great.

    Good price for wallet and quality of the product. The sound is clear and gets rid of 90% of background noise and comes with different ear pieces. These wireless ears buds are small and compact and stay in really good.

    Samsung wireless earbuds.
    These particular earbuds do not include a microphone for phone conversations or web based communications. Other than that, these are really nice and work great.

    Comfortable and Handy Buds
    My husband recommended me to try out Galaxy Buds and at first I was skeptical because I am not a fan of in-ear type of headphones. However I decided to give it a try and use them throughout the day. I was pleasantly surprised that these Galaxy Buds were indeed pretty good! I was worried that they would not be comfortable but after installing the right ear tips, Galaxy Buds fit me perfectly and were pretty comfortable to use for an extended period of time. Talking about extended use of time, these buds lasted me long enough on Spotify and some podcasts I subscribe to, so the battery life was superb. The charging case was very handy to juice up my buds at the end of the day, plus wireless charging is a huge plus, no need to search for a USB-C cable. I enjoyed using these while driving, as I could use just one Bud to take calls and have my other ear on alert. I also used Galaxy Buds during my workout and they never fell out! I found the sound to be pretty good for such small buds, the vocals were clear, treble and bass were pronounced. The only suggestion to Samsung would be to make the touch area for controlling the buds a bit bigger and possibly add a functionality to change the volume, as I believe the previous generation had that feature. All in all, I was very pleased and frankly surprised that Galaxy Buds fit my life style, sounded very good and were quite comfortable!

    The Perfect Fit
    I've been using bluetooth ear buds for over 5 years. I have shelled out collectively close to $1,000 and tried all the major brands. While my overall experience has been pretty positive, my individual experience with each has been a combination of highs and lows. That is until I tried the Samsung Galaxy Buds. On paper, the features for these things looked pretty amazing - 6 hour playtime with an additional 7 hours stored in the case, wireless charging, automatic pairing when the case is opened, touch controls, I mean, what's not to like? Then I actually put them in my ears and started my workout. This was going to be the real test. When using earbuds, the single most important feature is the fit, because if the bud doesn't conform to your ear properly and create a tight seal, the sound will be washed and the base nonexistent. The way the buds came out of the package did not form that seal for me, but the additional tips and ear stabilizers gave me more options. After switching out the stock setup, I was pleased to find that I was able to achieve that seal, and let me tell you, the sound is impressive. I'm fairly certain the base was the best I've experienced of any buds I've owned. As far as my workout went, the Galaxy Buds didn't move a millimeter. Not when I was rowing, not when I was deadlifting, and not when I was slamming battle ropes. I can't honestly say I've successfully put any other bud through my workout routine without getting at least some movement, which ultimately broke the seal and ruined the sound. I think the Galaxy Buds passed this test for two reasons. First, the stabilizers keep the outer part of the bud firmly in place, and don't allow any space for them to move. Second, the bud itself is almost flush with the ear, so there isn't much projecting outward to create the leverage needed for wobble. Another awesome feature is the ambient sound option. When ambient sound is turned on, you can actually hear the outside world in addition to your music. It's actually quite mind boggling when you use it. I'm assuming it uses the mic that picks up your voice during phone calls to receive external sound and pipe it through the buds with your music. I'm so happy with the performance of the Samsung Galaxy Buds that I keep an additional pair charged in my car to wear when I work. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Wireless earbuds that stay put!
    These are the best wireless earbuds I've ever had! They are truly wireless and yet they don't fall out of your ears. My ears are small and I was surprised they stayed in so well. The sound quality is great, and so is the battery life. One full charge gives you 6 hours of play time, and you can charge the ear buds and the case at the same time wirelessly, so I can use my S10 to charge them which is convenient and awesome! And everything you need to do is just a tap away. You tap to answer/end calls, change songs, turn volume up/down and to get help from Bixby or google. I absolutely love these!

    Listen UP/Samsung Buds
    I had been using wired headphones to listen to music and take phone calls with my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and decided to upgrade to the Samsung brand to match my phone. I wanted something stylish, functional, and gym ready. I got all three with my new Samsung Buds! My biggest concern with bud headphones was whether they would stay in my ears. I had tried other brands and did not feel confident with their ability to stay put during a gym workout. The Samsung Buds, however, are perfection. They sit in my ears with ease. In fact, it is easy to forget that I am wearing them. The sound is crystal clear. Pairing with my phone was foolproof. Took no time at all out of the box. The carrying case is shaped like a jellybean, and it is small enough to fit in your pocket in order to keep your unused Buds safe. I know the biggest PLUS for me is how well they fit in my ears. One more point, so easy to use, I got a pair for mom. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Samsung Galaxy Ear Buds
    The galaxy buds are very easy to connect using the Samsung wear app. The settings are easy to use and understand. The battery life is excellent they often last me more then one day with medium usage. I'm not an audiophile but the sounds quality is great for me. They work together great and individually which is a nice feature. I have worn them and they have never had them fall out of my ears even during rigorous physical activity.

    Best Buds
    It's fair to say that the most satisfying thing about a new pair of wireless earbuds shouldn't be the process of charging the battery. However, for Galaxy Buds owners who also own one of the variants of Galaxy S10, that may well be the case. I'm not talking about plugging in the USB-C cable, rather the moment you find yourself short of juice, take your S10+, flip it over, place the Galaxy Buds case on to the rear of the phone, and watch the Buds' charging light ping to life. Now *that* is a feeling of deep satisfaction. It's important to note, wirelessly charging your Galaxy Buds from your phone isn't just a party trick, nor is it incredibly useful in a pinch, but it's also an indication that Samsung is thinking of its product line as an entire ecosystem, rather than siloed products. This may seem like an unusual place to begin a review, but it feels like Samsung's wireless earbud line have finally achieved truly wireless status, which is an important landmark. As an owner of both previous generations of their earbuds, the Galaxy Buds feel like everything learnt with the previous generations has been applied. Bluetooth connectivity, a little sketchy on previous models, has been improved to the point that in 3 weeks I've experienced no issues whatsoever. Other more subtle improvements have been made, such as a more compact pocket-friendly case, and its ‘push-button open' mechanism (which failed after three weeks on a previous model) has been replaced with a simple foolproof prise-open design. Where they have learnt from issues of earbuds past, they've also understood and retained the strengths of previous generations, such as the touch-sensitive shell that allows you to control your music without having to rummage around for your phone. The design, too, is subtle. While a certain Cupertino-based competitor has a design that is ugly but unmistakably ‘them', Samsung is content to make the Galaxy Buds almost invisible, which for me, is exactly what I'm looking for. Finally, and most importantly, when it comes to audio quality the clarity and depth of tone and bass is fantastic, and again, a further improvement over the already stellar experiences of previous generations. The only drawback is related to the microphone, which falls short of the high bar set by every other aspect of these buds – feedback I've had is the mic quality is ‘fine', but when every other aspect of the Buds is ‘great', it leaves something for Samsung to improve for the Galaxy Buds 2.
