About this item
- Exactly what you want to hear. Galaxy Buds+ are the perfect fitting earbuds to isolate you from distracting noises, so you can stay focused on what you want.

Hear flight annozments, oncoming traffic or your order number while still enjoying your favorite playlist or podcast.Note : If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, you may not obtain the correct sound qualities or call performance. Change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ear

*Pros*
Long battery life - from 20 hours low use, 11 hours medium use, 8 hours high volume constant use, all without the case. With it, you can double it. No worries about running out of charge in the middle of the day.
Comfortable to sleep with - the bud fits entirely in the ear (though this may not be the case with smaller ears) so I can even sleep on my side with them. This allows me to listen in bed without disturbing my housemates.
Quick to recharge - if you fell asleep with them on, then it's no problem in the morning to pop them in the case for a couple of minutes to recharge and they'll be good to use for a good while (samsung claims 3 mins for an hour of playtime).
So many buttons! - I can control volume up/down, play/pause, action left (previous track/video, for Audible previous 30s), action right (previous track/video, for Audible skip 30s), enable/disable Ambient mode, AND Google Voice command without touching the phone. The buttons are easy to use and responsive. To get the volume up/down ability, you need to enable an experimental feature which detects double tapping on the edge of the earbud (though I found that you can just tap on the back of your ear).
Sound quality and modifications - the sound is really good for wireless earbuds (better than airpods pro), and you can choose from a set of preset equalizer modes.
Size and weight - both the buds and the case are very lightweight. The case is small and easily pocketable, though it is a little too large to put on a keychain.
Call quality - excellent call quality even in noisy situations. It's like active noise cancelling for whoever you are calling. I'm interested to see the next generation earbuds combine Apple's ANC and in-ear microsecond adjustments with Samsung's three-mic adaptive call system.
Comfort - the buds are very comfortable (after changing the silicone wingtips to fit) which pairs well with the long battery life.
Bluetooth signal - the buds can transmit around 40ft clear line of sight and 20ft through walls, though this will be limited by the transmitting device as well (tested with Samsung Note 10+).
Built-in wireless charging - case comes with wireless charging capability.
Water resistant - though not waterproof, the buds still work under mild splashing and recover from splashes with a paper towel.
Stays in ear - there's is no way the earbud is coming out of your ear by accident. Even falling down, it stays in your ear.
*Cons*
No active noise cancellation - loud buzzing, humming, car sounds, etc. is not well filtered by passive noise reduction. Would not recommend for frequent fliers who need to hear their music.
No dual connection - these buds were originally advertised as being able to connect to two different devices at once, but the feature has since been removed from the product description. I'm optimistic this will change in a future firmware update.
Ambient mode picks up high frequencies too well - I think the ambient mode picks up on the high frequencies (whistles, snaps, pops) of sounds too well. Using ambient mode on a windy day sounds like listening to wind through a mic (which it is!).
Sound distortion - I use the buds with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. Sometimes, when using the buds for a while with my phone in my pocket and then taking the phone out of my pocket, the sound briefly becomes slightly robotic before returning to normal. I think this has to do with how the buds adjust to signal strength to correct sound.
Setup - you can pair without quickly, though to get additional support though the Galaxy Wear app, it takes a minute for the first setup.
Logistics - the included charging cable is a little short.
Overall, I think the quality and all-day usability of these earbuds warrants giving up ANC, especially since I am not in situations with lots of low frequency noise and since the buds already block out a lot of sound.
They went through the wringer, and only a few brands ever held out longer than six months. So naturally, the wires would fray, one bud would die before the other, or that stupid cable would bend at the input and the sound would go in and out. Eventually I switched to huge headphones for durability. Really hurt trying to sleep with them on, though.
I've resisted wireless because the notion of charging headphones seemed ridiculous. (And I'm old school about tech) What if the battery died? That a battery could come between me and my music was idiotic.
Then, I got a nice little bonus this spring. And my earbuds started dying. And I can't get through the workday without my audiobooks (more on this in a minute). And I kept waking up with the wires wrapped around my throat, so I took the hint.
I'm decidedly anti-Apple and I have only Samsung products - by chance, really - so when I found these I bought them almost immediately. And I made sure to get them in the brightest color because I'm so sick of losing all the little black gadgets I have!
Oh my God. Just... it must be like what the iPod was to me when I first got one as a kid. It's almost magical, the difference it has made in my life.
It comes in a little box, and start up is easy. Pop em in your ears, follow the one-page instruction manual on setting up Bluetooth discovery mode, and voila. With my Samsung phone, I had a pre-programmed app (Galaxy Wearables) that helps coordinate all the other settings, things like bass adjustment and ambience. There are SO many settings, it's amazing.
Just putting them in is amazing - the noise cancelation, even without anything playing, is like that of being underwater.
I had no idea what to do next to get them to work, but it's all about taps. I felt like Uhura or something for the next few weeks, all technologically advanced: the way I have it set up, one tap of a bud pauses and plays. Two taps skips or fast forwards, and three goes backwards or plays previous. Pressing and holding the right increases volume, the left decreases. All of this coordinated with the Galaxy Wearables app, which is where you track the battery life as well.
Speaking of the battery life: it's fantastic. I work in a setting where I can listen to music so long as i keep one ear free for safety and communications reasons. Starting at 100% charge, after an 8 hour day, 9 hours of sleep, and then another 8 hour day will I usually find myself in the red and needing to charge.
I usually charge them before bed, and it doesn't take long at all - maybe an hour? Quick enough that I don't ever notice it. The charging case itself (cute little pill-looking thing) is good for about two full charges, and it also charges fast. All in all, that battery problem I worried I would have is likely never going to occur.
And the sound. It's pretty magnificent. Just this afternoon I was re-listening, for the thousandth time, to the Stephen Fry-narrated Sherlock Holmes audiobook, (absolutely a treasure) and I caught a little sighing note I never noticed in his voice before. It was amazing, it added a lot of depth to the line in question and I had never heard it before. So, excellent sound quality, the likes that you'll hear every instrument clearly, every subtle vocal inflection, etc.
The ONLY thing I can complain about is the range. I don't know if walls obstruct range, but the earbuds give out if I'm maybe 30 feet away? Like, if I left my phone in my house and went to check the mail, the signal would definitely be lost. But still, I dont have to carry my phone everywhere and risk dropping it! My workouts and work itself is much smoother now that I don't have to account for the wires and phone being on my person.
It's an absolute treasure. I adore these earbuds. No tangled wires that conspire to choke me in my sleep, or kill the sound in one ear. No more cracks in my phone because I got distracted and moved too far back from my desk. If someone who doesn't know headphones etiquette tries talking to me, it just takes a tap to pause, I don't have to unlock my phone and navigate to the app to hit pause.
One BONUS is that I have a Note 9, which has a very different charging port than most Android phones - BUT it has the same kind as the charging case for these, so I don't have to worry about carrying around more than one cable.
All in all, it has made any listening experience more fluid and natural than I thought wireless earbuds could ever do.

The case didnt feel like cheap plastic unlike what many critics say. It feels compact and the red colour is lit.
Worth every penny.

They also seem to sit a bit better and are more comfortable as well.
