Not going into depth like others. Review from the perspective of a galaxy buds original owner. I have never owned ANC headphones, ANC alone is worth the upgrade from what ive been told these are not the best ANC. But coming from no ANC this is a huge improvement to blocking out sounds(even with no music playing). However the seal is good enough to turn off anc in most situations. As far as fit goes. The galaxy buds original will likely always be my favorite style ear bud. The wingtips are simply the only way to make a perfect fit. These don't fit poorly, but they are not as comfortable. They won't fall out on their own, but are also not as secure as the original buds. Sound quality is way better with these, I do see some people disappointed compared to the galaxy buds 2 or newer, which is likely fair. But from the originals this is way more clear, more bass, and clearly better sound quality. The conversation detection is really really good, gone are the days of removing an earbud to talk to someone for a second. Something not a lot of people talk about, gaming mode is so good. On the galaxy buds original the latency was way too high for gaming. Gaming mode really does lower latency to more reasonable levels(still noticeable however). 360 sound is a feature I thought I would use, it really isn't worth using unless you are sitting for awhile just to watch movies or something. It seemed to affect music, which just doesn't work and isn't supposed to happen. I likely will keep this off. Battery life compared to the original buds is a huge improvement with anc off, and about the same with it on high, but the case holds 18 hours of charge(anc on high), or 28 hours with anc off. Overall, this is likely the last earbuds I will buy until the original buds shape is re-released with the same feature set(please samsung). Just a note, I am a guy, I bought the purple buds. The purple is a really good purple, and out of the current options the best looking. A blue would be nice however. Edit: For sleeping with both earbuds on your side, it feels a lot better than the original buds shape. Just make sure to disable touch input or it will go off all night. Read more

I picked these up after my old earbuds went out and my expectations were definitely exceeded. Before getting these, I wasn't even aware that bluetooth earbuds were capable of sound THIS good. They are super crisp, clear, and punchy, and are easily the best earbuds I've ever heard. The ANC and Ambient Noise features are great, and the touch controls work great. Battery life is really solid even with high volume and ANC on, and they charge fast. With that said though, I do have some complaints. The fit is VERY weird to get used to, and without fidgeting with them a bunch, it's really easy to wear them incorrectly. I spent the first 2 weeks wearing them incorrectly and they caused MAJOR physical pain to my ear, so heads up with that, it can make them unwearable. (Tip: don't wear them vertically like Samsung instructs, push them towards the back of your ear, almost horizontally). I also recommend getting a good pair of foam tips, the stock ones aren't bad, but the fit and seal isn't as good as it could be. So yeah, while the Galaxy Buds Pros have some undesirable quirks, they are overwhelming overpowered by the positive things, and for the sound quality alone, I'd recommend these. Read more

I use these when doing chores around my property or work around the house. Makes time go by faster by listening to music or podcasts. I had the Tozo brand cheap earbuds before and I did like them, but these blow em out the water! Music sounds amazing, the bass is decent and call quality is really good! The batteries last longer than I've used them so far. I had them in for about 4 hours and still had about 50% left. I have seen people talking about the ear irritation and I did experience that a little bit, but it went away after a week of wearing them. I think my ears just had to get used to a different earbud, after using the Tozo's for 2 years. Now I have no irritation and they fit really well. I did have to experiment with the right size inserts for my ear and finally found that the medium one was perfect and holds in great. I also use these for talking on the phone a lot and the call quality has been amazing. Did some gaming on my laptop and they sounded good for that as well. Now don't get me wrong, they don't sound as good as say a set of Turtle gaming earphones, but they aren't bad! Overall, I'm super happy with my purchase! Read more

I got these yesterday. I really like them. The fit (at least for me) is better than the Buds + because the ear plugs are oval instead of round which fits the shape of my ears better. I'm not an expert on sound quality but I did notice the sound is richer when the anc is on. When you turn it off I find the sound tinny. You seem to loose a lot of the lower tones (not sure why). However if you keep the anc on all the time it drained the battery a lot faster taking the charging down from the 9 hrs they advertise down to 4-5 hours. The charge on the Buds + is around 11 hrs but they don't have anc but the sound is rich without it. So if you want great sound with a lot of battery power, go for the buds+. If you want more comfort and better fit (with some water resistance) go for the Pro. FYI I got some foam tips for the Buds+ and that helped the fit and comfort a lot but they won't fit in the charging case unless I take the tips off which is a "pita" because they are easy to loose and don't last as long taking them on and off all the time. Update: after playing with the program a little the tinny sound I had originally when the anc is off seemed to correct. Not sure what happened. Don't know if it was a glitch or user error but the sound is awesome. I'm thrilled with these earbuds. Still not quite the battery life but close enough and with the comfort they are my favorite.
