![SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds 2 True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds, Noise Cancelling, Comfort Fit In Ear, Auto Switch Audio, Long Battery Life, Touch Control, Graphite [US Version, 1Yr Manufacturer Warranty]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61P8aXSg0CL._SR75,75_.jpg)
I am somewhat of a headphone/earbuds connoisseur. Once I find a brand I stick to it. At first, I was nervous to try out the Galaxy buds there are lots of naysayers when it comes to Samsung vs Apple. I have had the pleasure of being on both sides of the coin and I am enjoying my stay at Samsung.
These earbuds are wonderful! I have had them for two days now and I am in love. Starting with the design: I don't have a small ear (they're average I guess), however, I do have glasses so finding earbuds, in general, is a struggle due to the legs of my glasses pushing on my ears, but these buds stay in! This was another issue I have with wireless earbuds, not to put down Apple, but that design DOESN'T stay in my ear, even the wired ones...
The color: it's beautiful I got the silver to match my aura glow Galaxy Note 10 and they match perfectly (blame my OCD for that)
The sound quality: these earbuds sound amazing, I have a lot of bass songs, and the bass boosting on the app works great, the app is something that is an amazing feature and there's a clear difference in each sound setting clean, dynamic, bass boosted, soft, and treble boost. I have tried many earbuds from different brands beats, skull candy, bose, apple, etc. these buds compare to all of these brands. I personally love my skull candy, but I am loving the sound quality.
The features: there's customization, which is a word I never thought I could use with earbuds, but the customization of the ambient sounds and using the galaxy wearable app makes the buds easy to navigate. One earbud can be used and one can be charged at the same time, not to mention you can use certain Samsung phones to charge the earbuds. The app shows you the battery life of both earbuds! As for the ambient sounds I tested this with my tv, I turned it up and used the different settings and it works so well! I was in disbelief I could hear my music and hear the tv at the same time!
Charging is fast, especially if you have a fast charger! I will say handling the case of the buds is a bit tough at first as the brand new case is VERY sleek, I would recommend ordering a protective case when you order the buds to ensure your case doesn't break. There's a little green light that will show up red, yellow, or green to let you know what the buds charge is at.
The tapping: there's a tapping mechanism to the panel of the buds, this is how you change songs, speak to google (because who uses Bixby), and answer/hang-up calls. This is one of my favorite things! I can't tell you the number of times I tried to use google in the freezing cold with my skull candy buds and could not get her to turn on, with these buds, it's a simple press and hold! Double-tap to change songs, and one tap to pause.
The only issue (I wouldn't consider a con) there's no way to turn the buds off, they shut off or sleep after you leave them in the case so that there's no loss in battery power, but I'm used to being able to shut off my wireless buds with a button. That's a user problem though.
Overall these headphones are absolutely worth it, they are as good as Apple (better for me because I'm biased) so it's really about your preference, moreover, I think these are more comfortable and prettier in design (if you're concerned about matching). These are truly a great buy!

These Galaxy Buds are purely amazing.
This is my first review, and I apologize for the length. If you read it, you may gain some insight on the Galaxy Buds :) I was compelled to do this review because of how Amazon’s customer service > Samsung’s “customer service” and for how great this product truly is. I preordered my S10+ only to be one of the many who were unlucky enough to not get it included with the phone, and would subsequently have to wait "15 days for the promotional $130 gift card only for usage on Samsung.com” ..not sure if I will receive that or not because the promotional support is extremely subpar for such a revolutionizing smart phone like the Samsung Galaxy S10+; so, I decided to order it on Amazon and will use the $130 for a Micro SD or some other accessories, if I get it.Amazon... you continue to amaze me :) I ordered these Galaxy Buds on Wednesday, 03/13/19 with a an originally scheduled delivery range from 04/05/19-04/29/19. THESE BUDS ARRIVED 3 DAYS LATER ON Saturday, 03/16/19. WHAAATT?? Thank you, Amazon!!! Now THAT is quality service for these quality Galaxy Buds!The new 2019 Galaxy Buds are purely amazing.The highs are great; I personally have the sound toggled to "Bass Boost" on the Galaxy Wearable app and the sound is utter bliss. I have a pair of "noise-canceling" Bose QuietComfort 35 II, and the sound quality on these Galaxy Buds definitely compare with “elite” brands because of its quality. I find these Buds to be on an even keel as far as sound quality with a variety of genres in the “Bass Boost” mode: rap, rock, country, reggaeton, opera, and even classical all sound great with these Buds. Trust me, I have songs in my playlist that have different ranged bass lines, I managed to fit 2 12” Rockford Fosgate subwoofers in my Subaru BRZ, and these Buds’ sound quality did not diminish and did not distort even with the heavy bass line usage. I normally use headphones to listen to classical music while I am studying, doing a project for work, or just like everyone else- shell off from the outer world. As a test, the Buds were able to "cancel" the screech of the BART cars when I was riding BART earlier while the volume was at 75% to full volume, something the Bose QC 35 II sadly could not do despite its "noise-canceling” capabilities. (BART is an extremely loud, outdated train transit system in the SF Bay Area).Not sure why the finish on the exposed part of the Buds is glossy, it would have been better off as a matte finish because it is bound to get oily fingerprints all over it. The “Touchpad” is not as responsive and comfortable as I would like. It is going to take some time to get used to because when one taps on the touchpad, to play/pause/skip it kind of drives the silicone padding into your ear drum- and is somewhat deafening with the taps. The touchpads can be customized to do voice command, quickly adjust ambient sound, or volume up/down with a touch and hold gesture. The ambient sound is an interesting feature to use, especially when someone needs to be alert with their surroundings.In sum, the delivery was just like ordering anything with Amazon Prime, despite the projected delivery being 3-6 weeks from now. The Galaxy Buds can compare with “noise-canceling” rated headphone despite not being rated to cancel out noise. The sound quality is purely amazing with great highs and lows that do not distort no matter how heavy the bass line is. The finish is glossy, but who cares it’s going to be in your ears! The TouchpadGET THESE BUDS NOW!!!!
