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

I've been through about 20 or 30 pairs of wired earbuds in the last almost 15 years, when I was high school and the iPod made them a necessity. I've always been addicted to music, so the buds go in whenever I'm able to listen, and for some years now, through the night as I fall asleep to stand-up albums or audiobooks. (I highly recommend listening to Mulaney or Gaffigan stand-up before bed.) 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.

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!

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.

Upgraded from the standard buds Street losing one. They're great! No issues with compatibility for my pixel 4a and such a great product. One happy camper right here

I bought these as I lost my first pair of galaxy buds, so figured might as well go for the "plus" version. I went with red just to make them easier to find if I misplace them again :) Since I have owned both versions, I can say definitively that the + version is much better. I mostly use them for listening to music and I've definitely noticed a much better sound coming out of these ones. Call quality also seems better, can't say I've used them for calls very much though. They also seem to sit a bit better and are more comfortable as well.

The music quality is no joke. Was listening to Spotify music and at one point i had to check if i was using wired headphones cos the bass is out of the world. The case didnt feel like cheap plastic unlike what many critics say. It feels compact and the red colour is lit. Worth every penny.
