SAMSUNGGalaxy Buds Plus, True Wireless Earbuds Bluetooth 5.0 (Wireless Charging Case Included), Black – US Version

Got my Galaxy ear buds a few days ago and charged them up on arrival. I also had to update the ear bud software but it really did it on its own with a click when it asked. I set up the ear bugs and played with the settings which was really easy and quick. You will need to give the buds full access to your phone and I have the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus 5G phone. Was leary about that but they won't work if you don't.I have been using a $50 set of ear plugs almost daily for 5 years and really like my old set and they have great sound so I thought until I turned these new Galaxy ear buds on and Bluetooth connection was immediate. Fired up SiriusXm and the hifi sound was amazing. I set the ear buds on Dynamic sound setting and WOW. I almost thought I was listening to my hifi Klipsch stereo setup in my living room if SiriusXm signal quality was better. The sound from these are excellent!!! As far as blocking out back ground noise I'm not sure how well they do that since I haven't worn them on my riding mower yet but I couldn't hear my surround sound coming from my LG TV speakers while listening to Siriusxm but I did have the volume cranked up about 70%. They seem to get plenty loud but I'll know that for sure once I'm mowing. There is a feature in the app that says if you loose one it will find them for you so that's cool.The battery life must be really good because last night I listed to YouTube videos for hours then music for hours then watched a 2 hr movie with them then went back to music listening and fell asleep with them on, woke up and they were still going strong this morning. Atleast 12 plus hours of listening time and when I put them on the charger the Galaxy wearable app showed 76% battery life left. You can get calls, text messages, emails, phone calls, turn the volume up and down, pause, play and there are about 5 different sound settings like, normal, bass boost, soft, Dynamic, clear and don't forget to set you phone setting to Dolby Atmos also. These plugs are amazingly nice, comfortable, long long long battery life you can even wirelessly charge them off your Galaxy phone. As far as distance before you loose Bluetooth connection, I left my phone in the house on my Lazyboy and went outside and walked about 75 feet before they started cutting out a little. Then I set my phone on the patio outside and started walking and got about 150 feet away before they started cutting out a little, so great Bluetooth distance before they cut out far superior than my old ear buds. Like I said I use my ear buds every day while working outside or in the house so I don't bother everyone else with my music and talk shows I listen to. I can't find any cons except 1 and that may be the carrying case battery size. It states it only has enough power to fully recharge the ear buds once. I haven't tested that yet but that probably won't be a issue since you can wirelessly charge from your phone battery or just plug it in from your same Galaxy phone cord. They also give you several ear piece sizes but the ones that came already fitted on it fit me fine. These Galaxy ear buds are awsome in my book and I got them off Amazon in 2 days ship time for $117 with tax. Ok hope this helps someone you can't go wrong with these that's for sure.

I've had the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus for over a year now, and I can confidently say they're one of the best purchases I've made. At first, I didn’t fully appreciate how good they were—but over time, I've really come to value their quality.The sound is crystal clear with a surprising amount of bass for such small earbuds. The battery life is impressive—I can go days without needing to recharge the case. They're super comfortable and stay in my ears, even during workouts or while walking around.What really stands out is how reliable they are. A whole year later, they still perform like new. Great connectivity, great call quality, and the ambient sound feature is super handy when I need to stay aware of my surroundings.If you're looking for true wireless earbuds that balance quality, comfort, and durability—these are it. Definitely worth every penny!

At the end of March 2021 I bought the Buds+ as an extra set to switch off with my AirPods Pro. The AirPods were working just fine, but I wanted to try something else. I read a review for the Samsung Buds Pro and a random reviewer said - you know what - the Buds+ are better - get those instead. So, I bought the Buds+ when I saw them $40 off regular new price. From the reviews I read the Buds+ sound quality was good. To me it seems to true - just as good as my AirPods Pro. I was interested in the longer battery life in the Buds+ - rated at 11 hours and 5 hours for the AirPods Pro. I sleep with ear buds every night, so let's say a normal night of 7 hours, the AirPods Pro would almost always be dead near the morning. With the Samsung Buds+ I for sure can wake up with about 20% battery after 7 hours of sleep (medium or low ambient setting), so I don't have to charge them immediately when I wake up. I didn't have much luck with the AirPods Pro noise cancelation or ambient noise. The settings on the AirPods Pro are always switched to off or not doing much when ambient was on. I'm sure it's my fault with a bad fit or something. However, with the Samsung app - you switch it to Low, Medium, High (or if activated in the lab) Extra High ambient sound and it stays on. No noise cancelation on Buds+ (I knew that b4 buying them). I hadn't been using noise cancelation with the apple buds - the ambient noise was much more important to me. Phone call quality with Buds+ is solid. The other person always hears me fine. However, the Phone Call Ambient sound setting is different than the listening ambient noise setting. So it is disappointing that I have trouble hearing my own voice while talking on the phone. I don't make many calls on my phone, so not a deal breaker. I don't regret owning the AirPods Pro - but I'd most certainly choose the Buds+ for less than half the cost of apple. The touch controls on the Buds+ are fine. I mostly just Stop and Start my music with it. I have a setting to turn volume up and down by tapping on the edges of the ear pieces - but I can't really get that to work. I do not have any problems with accidentally stopping the music with incidental bumps. Maybe it's happened brushing the Buds+ against the pillow once or twice - but typically not a problem. I can also accidentally turn off music with my AirPods Pro constantly adjusting the fit. I don't use Siri much. While wearing the Buds+ I can say Hey Siri what's 2 + 2 and you'll hear Siri answer in your headphones. What else? The thing making the Buds+ a winner for me are the small wings on the edge of each bud. For me, I love the Samsung fit. I was always adjusting my AirPods Pros when I moved or just sat in one place because they were constantly working their way out of my ears to flop on the floor. What else? oh. The Buds+ connect better than apple to my modern dell work laptop for Zoom meetings. However, I usually I use wired headphones for Zoom. That' my brain dump. I like these Samsung Buds+.
