Color: Phantom Black
What an amazing set of earbuds, these are definitely an upgrade to the original Galaxy Buds (1st Gen), and those were amazing sounding headphones on their own right too. But these pro versions, wow, they blow those out of the water.... Now at first I wasn't really able to notice the quality of the audio, I felt they were about the same as my original buds, boy was I wrong, not only these provide superior audio quality, these buds can literally pickup sounds that I wasn't able to hear before in my older Galaxy Buds, instruments that I didn't know that were there....a perfect example was Dream Theater - Octavarium....try listening to that song with these buds, the first 3 minutes will leave you in a trans-like state, orchestral basically, the sound is rich and just beautiful.... ANC works pretty well imo, it blocks out sound very effectively and you have the choice of two settings, low or high. I usually keep mine at high sense I work as a crossing guard, and I have to be outside several hours at a time listening to cars roaring past me, ANC takes care of that problem it makes a world of difference, I can barely hear any cars passing by me with ANC activated, all I hear is the music.... As for voice activated, its kind of a hit and miss for me, it activates when it detects or hears your voice and lowers down the volume of your music as well as automatically activating ambient sound so you can hear the other person you are speaking with, what I find odd though is it doesn't seem to activate when that person speaks to you first or asks you a question, literally you have to be the one to speak first in order for it to activate.....it can also be very interruptible at times, don't start singing along with any of your tunes because Voice Activated will kick in. EVERY. TIME. WITHOUT FAIL....if you are going to start a conversation you are still better off just removing your left or your right ear bud just to have a normal conversation with someone and just leave voice detect off.... Ambient sound works very well and you have the choice of 4 settings from low to very high, I would suggest you leave it at high max, trust me you don't need it any higher than that ambient sounds works very well and it will pick up everything around you, if you work at an office ambient sound would be a very important feature for you imo.... Very solid build quality, not too big of a fan of the Matt finish though (can be slippery, take caution), but if you hate fingerprints no worries you wont see any of them on these puppies, for such a small case and well thick enough buds, they are surprisingly heavy, it's understandable though, there is so much tech packed in such a small form factor it's no wonder they are slightly heavy, I think it has to do with the magnets, the magnets on these are a huge step up compared to the past buds, very strong your buds will not fall off the case that easy you have to deliberately shake them VERY HARD in order to send them flying.... As for the buds themselves well, they are pretty comfortable, somewhat, idk maybe I'm just going crazy but these are not exactly perfect fit I feel like the first gen buds had the right fit for me, these overtime start to hurt my ears a little bit, never had this problem with the older buds so idk guess it has to do with my ears, I think I just need bigger rubber tips and the largest ones that it came with are just not large enough to provide a better seal, why can't I use my older tips from my first gen buds? or even other tips that are out there? I just don't understand why Samsung didn't make the tips universal on these buds, these tips have a weird proprietary, idk, is connection the right word? anyways, the tips that it came with are solely and only for these buds so do not lose em, I cant find any replacements for these, eBay has some, but they are those foam ones and I don't like the foam ones...way to pull an Apple Samsung....why on earth was that a good idea? just make them universal so I can easily replace these things whenever I want...anyways moving along (sorry that was just a gripe I had) Controls seem pretty straight forward, if you are coming from the original buds like me you will become instantly familiar with them....tap once pause, tap twice skip track, tap three times previous track....you get the idea.... (I only had these buds for like two days so sadly I haven't been able to test call quality with these, mainly I have just been using them for music, as intended) In conclusion, there is alot more to these buds I can go on about but in all honesty this will turn into a very long review so I'm just gonna go straight to the point...ahem....BUY THESE....even if you have to use a credit card just, just buy them they are that good and worth every penny....not even the Air-pods Pro can step up with these buds not to mention 50 dollars cheaper and much more up to date technology that's being offered to you, in other words more bang for your buck, you can't go wrong with these and if you are an audiophile trust me, you will want these.....

There is a TLDR at the end for those of you that got scared clicking read more and see a wall of text appear on your screen. Since there's a lot I have to say about these headphones, grab some popcorn, a soda, and strap in. As a forward, I have only tried these for a few hours, so I will update this post if my opinions change at all. Some initial things to get out of the way, I am by no means an experienced audiophile. I do enjoy the many different aspects of audio though. I love the character of vinyl and have tried many different headphones over the years. By many, I mean dozens, as I have a very weirdly shaped ear canal that has trouble getting in-ear headphones to fit correctly. My main daily pair of headphones is the second-gen Airpods since they are the only thing that fit my ear well. I also have a pair of Skullcandy Crushers for when I want a pair of car subs attached to my ears and Jaybird X3's with Comply tips for skating and exercising. My testing device is a Note 20 Ultra, using Spotify set to the extreme quality setting (320kbps to my knowledge). FIT AND COMFORT This category is incredibly subjective, as everyone's ears are different. I will say, however, that this is the first pair of in-ear headphones that fit my incredibly weird ears out of the box!!! I've done the shake test and they stay pretty well in there. Comfort is a 5/5 DESIGN AND BUILD QUALITY The design and build are top-notch on these buds. The case feels incredibly solid and is about the same size as the case on my Airpods (the buds case is slightly thicker). The buds themselves look great and the mirror finish is nice to look at. Overall, very well designed and built and thusly, gets a 5/5. SOUND QUALITY Another bit of forwarding before I jump in, this is another subjective category. I am sensitive to "bright" headphones (where the highs or treble are too high and sound painful to my ear) and steer away from them as soon as I notice them. I am only going to be commenting on certain tracks and genres that I enjoy and actively listen to. I am blown away from the raw quality of the sound coming out of these! I had the Airpods Pro for a bit, and these sound similar but tuned for a tad more bass. This is exactly what I was looking for. You also have a couple of preset EQ options to tune it more to your liking or listening habits for the day. I'm hoping adjustable EQ support comes in the future to help dial in the sound signature to your liking. I'll break down each track and categorize it by genre. -ELECTRONIC/HOUSE/OTHER SUB-GENRES Transformer by Moog: I chose this track to see if the backing cymbal can be heard amidst the rest of the song. It's very clear, along with the rest of the track. Bass also sounds very nice, not overdone, and very tight and punchy. Clarity and great bass quality will be a reoccurring character in this segment. -ROCK/METAL I Love You to Death by Family Force 5: (This is the song I used for the shake test.) This is a track that I like to crank and test the audio quality at high volume. I can confirm that these buds sound just as good at high volumes. The cymbals don't destroy my ears, the guitars are very clear, and SGA's screams are great. Suck My Kiss by Red Hot Chili Peppers: This is another track that regularly gets cranked. Flea's bass sounds perfect and once again, clear as day. The drums also sound killer. -RAP Jump by Mac Miller: I chose this track to hear how clear and tight the bass was. The bassline on this one can sound very different depending on what headphones you use. It's tight and punchy with these. Clarity was also strong on this one. Bless Yo Trap by Smokepurpp: This song is perfect for its incredibly heavy (but well-produced) bass. This track through the Crushers will literally shake my head, it's great. These buds handle the drum machine (cymbal perhaps?) in the background very, very well. Most headphones will usually force me to limit the volume because it sounds so shrill. Not on these. I can crank them up and not worry about it. The bass left a bit to be desired... Until I used the bass booster EQ, which as you can probably guess, upped the bass and still sounded punchy and tight. Well done. Big Fish by Vince Staples: I also tested the bass booster EQ on this one. I noticed when it was enabled, it started to eat into the clarity of the mids a bit. Without the EQ it sounds crystal clear. Where I'm From by Digable Planets: This song's nice short bassline can sound different depending on your headphones. Very accurate and well-controlled bass on this one. -CLASSICS Rocket 69 by Todd Rhodes: This is the "make it or break it" moment for figuring out if headphones are too "bright" for me. Todd's vocals, along with the amazing sax solo can destroy my ears on some headphones. These handle this track PERFECTLY. Everything seems very well controlled and balanced. These buds produce a fantastic sound, without over-emphasizing any one aspect of the sound profile. Bass is nice and subdued (you could be surprised with what the Crushers do to this track) and the highs are not shrill or painful to my ears. The mids sound crisp and clear. -POP/NOT SURE THE GENRE Sit Next to Me by Foster the People: I was surprised by this track. I never noticed the bass guitar before. This is when I realized how much I was missing using the Airpods. Everything is so well defined and the stereo separation is perfect. Not much else to say about this one, as everything about it sounds great. -COUNTRY What Was I Thinkin' by Dierks Bentley: This track was another case of pure clarity. I could easily hear and discern every instrument and they were separated perfectly. A joy to listen to on these. Nothing was overblown on this one either, the bass might be a bit too high, but it's so tight that it adds to the sound in my opinion. All of these tracks sound great to my ear and easily get a 5/5 MEDIA CONTROLS Finally, something I dislike about these headphones. The single tap to pause/play a track works just fine. If you try to double-tap to skip/replay it is incredibly hit or miss. I'm not sure if this can be solved through software, or if my finger just doesn't hit the touch surface as well as it would like. Usually what ends up happening is, I double-tap to skip a track and it registers it as one tap, thus pausing my music. I then double-tap again to try to get it to skip and it just starts playing where it left off. Finally, on the third time, it will skip the track. Adjusting the buds usually ends up registering as a tap and will also usually pause your music, just trying to get it pressed in your ear better. It also does this sometimes when you initially take out the buds from the case and put it in your ear. It's a big pain in the butt right now and gets a 2/5 NOISE CANCELING Don't buy these for some Bose or Airpod Pro level ANC. They're good at sound isolation when you're playing something, but pausing a track won't leave you saying "wow" like with the Airpod Pros. The only testing I've done so far with the noise canceling is cleaning around the house and listening to them while typing up this review. When a track is playing I can't hear my keyboard, but paused they're just about as clear as having the ambient sound mode on. I'll conduct further testing on these and report back with my findings. For now, it gets a 1/5. (UPDATE: I've done some testing outside with them now and they are pretty good at blocking the lower frequencies. It takes a little bit for the noise canceling algorithm to catch up with the noise around you, but I would say it blocks out somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-60% of the noise around you. It also is great at removing wind noise at moderate speeds. Based on these new findings, it gets a 3/5. Not great, but not terrible or useless either.) AMBIENT MODE I'm happy to see that someone has finally implemented a function that allows the ambient mode to auto switch to on when you're speaking to someone. It's worked perfectly from the testing I've done so far. The ambient mode also sounds almost as good as the Airpod Pros' function. It works well, thus netting a 5/5 CONCLUSION I am simply blown away by these headphones. So much so, that I spent nearly 2 hours writing this review. They do almost everything they set out to do exceedingly well. I am hoping that future software updates will fix the issues that I currently have with them. I will be replacing my Airpods with these and will be recommending them to my friends. Well done Samsung, you have a real winner on your hands. Well, that wraps it up. For the TLDR readers out there: they sound amazing, ANC and touch controls suck majorly right now, the build and comfort are perfect, and I would easily recommend them.

The case is very compact and convenient. The battery life is less than the Buds+ but usually doesn't run out, at least for me. The features like noise cancelling and ambient sound are nice, although I now find myself just using one earphone when I need to hear my environment. I personally avoid the EQ settings from the Wearable app, the default sound is the best IMO. Comfort and fit is not so great - they tend to hurt my ears after an hour or two and slip out of my ears regardless of what tips I use. I should also note that they (and the Buds+) are much more water sensitive than indicated by the IP rating - if you clean them try to use as little water as possible or else they will stop working. As for sound, they are a definite improvement over the Buds+ which had a weird treble timbre and was a bit anemic due to subbass focus over midbass. The signature is something like warm Harman and is not in need of EQ for me personally. I personally find them to be one of the best tuned IEMs out of the box regardless of being wireless or wired, and they are a lot more convenient to put on than higher-end IEMs with an over-the-ear cable so despite the fit issues I find myself reaching for them quite a bit.

Like most on Amazon, the reviews on here are really helpful. I've been looking for some earbuds for awhile & being both an audiophile & hard of hearing, it's been a challenging search. There were a whole lot of negative reviews on here about these earbuds, yet the positive ones were so numerous also that I had a hard time picking these. The negative reviews mostly centered on the ear comfort & I've really struggled with others over this problem. My research turned up many negative reviews of just about every earbud because... everyone's ears are different. My son & my wife each have Bose buds. I wasn't particularly impressed by them. I discovered that if you have comfort issues with earbuds, there's a company, Comply, that makes replacement foam earbud earpieces for just about every brand & model, so I decided to go ahead & order these buds &, if they hurt my ears, I'd just buy the foam ones. So I received these 4 days ago & while the earpieces were bearable, they were slightly uncomfortable, so I pulled out the included box of alternative ones that Samsung includes & it turned out the small ones fit me perfectly. I can barely tell there's anything in my ears. Great! Now for the sound quality... These are really impressive. While the equalizer doesn't allow much leeway, the 6 presets are adequate. Personally I'd think that high end buds would allow a fully adjustable equalizer, but... whatever. The sound on these are great! The sound is rich & full thanks to the separate woofer. The highs aren't as impressive but that's where my hearing impairment is so it's probably me. I compared them to my $2000 hearing aids & to be honest, the buds sounded much more real, clear, & satisfying. And... they actually make decent hearing aids. My aids simply over-amp high frequencies & it's no where near as satisfying as these buds. I've been walking around outside with my ambient noise setting turned on & the music paused & I can hear birds singing clear as can be. It's been 5 years since I've heard birds. I'm so glad I bought these! So then we come to the touch-based controls. I find that feature kinda difficult. I turned Bixby back on just for these buds & am trying to get accustomed to controlling the buds this way. I wanted to go 3 songs back in my queue, said "hi Bixby. Go 3 songs back." My phone then backed up everything to Samsung Cloud. I tried to stop it but there is no way to do that.

I use the buds primarily for working out in my garage gym, and wanted to share my experience. I have read a lot of reviews on Amazon saying that the fit of the Pros is bad. As a result, I was concerned that I would encounter this issue, but I ordered the earbuds anyway. After several uses, I wanted to add my thoughts on the buds. I own 2 other pairs of true wireless earbuds, which are the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 and Jabra Elite Active 75t. FIT: I use the Galaxy Bud Pros primarily for working out (lifting weights mostly, but also some cycling). Obviously, this is person-specific, but these buds fit me well. After inserting them, and giving them a small twist, they stay in place. They do not move around or need readjusting. And they certainly do not fall out. Even as my face contorts, the buds stay in place and do not slip. I will admit, I was VERY excited that the fit was so good after all the negative reviews. The buds feel comfortable, and do not hurt my ears (but keep in mind I only wear these up to 2 hours at a time--I'm not sure how they'd feel after longer sessions). SOUND: I have a Galaxy S20, so I'm using Samsung's proprietary scalable codec (I'm not sure how these would sound using another Android device or an iPhone on SBC or AAC, but probably similar enough). I also listen mostly to metal/rock. The sound quality is great, much better than the Jabra Elite Active 75t and better than the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1. Note that getting good sound quality is reliant on getting a good seal with provided ear tips (and I get a very good seal with the largest ear tip size). The soundstage feels large, the bass on the bass drum carries weight but never sounds fake or artificially boosted, and the mids and highs feel on point. I played around with the equalizer on the Wearables app and tried out Bass Boost; it sounded horrible and made the lower frequencies muddy. I immediately went back to the neutral sound profile. (I'm generally playing music through PowerAmp, and like to use the "rock" preset equalizer profile). ANC: ANC works very well for constant/consistent white noise-type sounds. For example, I have a garage gym where I work out, which has a furnace that is LOUD when it's running. With the bud's ANC on high, I cannot hear the furnace running. It's great! The Jabra Elite Active 75ts received ANC after a software upgrade, but it was very weak/poor, and my Cambridge Audio's have no ANC. AMBIENT SOUND: This feature works very well and allows you to pipe in outside noise into your ear buds. There is also a feature called "voice detect" that, when you speak, turns the volume of your music down and turns on ambient sound so that you can have a conversation. Generally, I think it's rude to have a conversation with buds in, but for short conversations, it can be helpful. For example, my wife and I work out together. In between sets, we chat a bit. With "voice detect" and ambient sound I can have brief conversations on my rest breaks without having to remove my buds 20 to 30 times during my workout--I really appreciate that! One thing that can be annoying with "voice detect" is that a cough or grunt (when lifting) can set it off, even though you aren't having a conversation. There is an option to disable "voice detect" though, should you not like it. Ultimately, for me, these buds sound excellent, fit well, and have great features. The only concern I have, at this point, is that the hinge that holds the clamshell charging case together when you open it is small and feels a bit flimsy. I'm not sure how it will work in the long run. In comparison, the hinge on my Cambridge Audio runs the entire back of the case (length-wise) and feels sturdy. There have been lots of negative reviews about the fit, but it may be that people with bad experiences are more likely to post a review compared to those that have had a good experience (so it seems the bad reviews may outweigh the good). These buds are leaps and bounds better than the Jabra Elite Active 75t, and sound better and have many more features than the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1.

These ear buds have great sound quality, battery life, and ambient sound options. I was surprised at sound quality of these ear buds. They have sound that I would say is equivalent to a decent over the ear pair of headphones. The software let me tweak the sound profile and I can get a decent amount of "thump" out of the bass. The noise cancellation is very good for ear buds. A major factor here is fit, they have to be snug to drown out noise. When I work in my woodshop and have these on, they do an excellent job filtering out power tools. I also like the ambient sound option. I can put these in and hear almost better then my normal hearing. My family try to sneak up on me since I wear headphones a lot when I work. I turn around and say "Yes" whenever they try it now. The battery life on these is great. I have gotten over 15-20 hours on a single charge. The battery life does degrade if you turn on ambient sound or active noise cancellation, so be aware. The only issue I have is fit. These buds do not fit my ears as well as previous versions and I find that I twist them around a bit when I first put them in to get them seated properly. It is a comfort thing, they do not fall out , they stay securely in place.

First off, I was excited to get these buds. On paper they have everything I was looking for. In order of importance for me. 1) Sound Quality. 3/5 Though better than most buds, these fall very short in comparison to my Bose Soundsport Earbuds. The bass was better than the buds+ but not near the full sound that you would expect for $200. They were also very quiet if I paired them with anything but the Samsung phone. My Macbook pro wouldn't play loud enough to understand a movie. The sound was much more full, louder with more bass if the ANC was on compaired to off. Even if there was zero ambient noise. 2) Comfort/Fit. 1/5 This was by far my biggest complaint. I could not get these to fit correctly, they hurt the inner canal of my ear after about an hour of wearing I could feel my ears hurt a full 24 hrs later, so much that I dreaded putting them in my ears again. Also, I couldn't get them to stay in, they would fall out while chewing gum, talking or just walking around. I almost lost them on an airplane luckily the bud detector in the app helped me find them. 3) Ease of use/Features 2/5. Though the features in principle are very useful, it rarely worked like it should in practice. Buds would not detect that they were both in my ear, often wouldn't allow the ANC to turn on. Button was difficult to get to work like it should, tapping twice would often pause instead of skip, sometimes a tap would turn the bud off, it would think my ear was pushing the button. Frustrating while running. 4) Water resistance. 5/5, tried showering with these in twice, if water got inside the bass driver it would silence the bass until it was cleared out. Once dry, it worked just as good as new. 5) Long Battery life. 4/5 the battery life was very good, charged fast, I had a problem with the right bud dying about 20 minutes before the left bud but other than that, the life was long. 6) ANC, 2/5 the ANC is kindof a joke, first they don't fit well enough to block out much noise but there was very little difference in the amount of noise I heard while on the plane with the ANC on or off. Samsung has tuned these to bass boost and sound different when the ANC is turned on. I wonder if this is just a gimic to make everyone THINK there is ANC. 7) Voice detection to turn on ambient noise. 3/5, this is a feature I hadn't thought of until I got these, this is a cool idea that detects vibrations in your jaw to mute music and turn on ambient noise mice in case you're talking to someone. In practice it hardly EVER worked when I wanted it to, but always misfired. Talking to people would RARELY 1/10 times turn it on, 9/10 times it would be activated by clearing my throat, spitting while running, coughing, it got so annoying I turned it off. 8) Voice/call quality 5/5, call quality is the best I've ever experienced with buds or any other mic. Samsung got this right. People I speak to say they work better than my Bose and Jabra headphones
