There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
First off, I do want to say that I don't really use these for calls. That being said, I have made use of them for a few conversations and overall they worked well enough for me. Clear audio in ear and the people I talked to seemed to not have issues hearing me.
I use them primarily for music or media audio and often in a loud environment (machinery, automaton noise). The sound these buds produce is deep and great. Iwas very surpass at the sound quality. The noise cancelation is good but they aren't meant to silence the outside world. So if that is something you're looking for, these aren't the best in that aspect. However, they work great to make sure the audio you want hear is clear and easy to understand above wherever/whatever you will be using them around. They can only noise cancel if you use both at the same time. Using noise cancelation will deplete battery quicker too, just fyi.
Most importantly, these buds are comfortable. I can wear one or both for 8-10hrs straight and my ears will be totally fine. Nothing from the buds inserts or presses into your canal or skin, they simply rest inside your ear. Even after wearing them for hours, they haven't accidentally fallen out yet! I don't have any mods or skins for mine, but they exist. The buds do come with a couple size bits you can swap out for optimal comfort.
The battery life of the buds is good, they can actively operate for just about 8hrs straight from 100% charge. I typically use one bud at a time and it will last all day. The case holds multiple charges for the buds from 5% back to 100% and it charges them quite fast. The case takes the most time to recharge maybe about an hour and a half or more from 0%, but that's not too bad (using a 30w anker). The case charges one bud from 5 or less percent to 100% in under an hour, maybe even 30min.
Feature wise, the pro line offers more, but those are typically double the price of these and again I feel they are less comfortable than these. I don't use the touch features, but they are all there and work well. It's a personal preference, I just don't like the touch features on any buds in general. These buds are also easy to clean.
If you're looking for comfort I would highly recommend these. The sound they offer is great, and overall for price and features it's a good deal!
(1) When I initially put on these buds, the sound was wayyy low. On Day 2, I swapped the ear tips and all the sounds are SO much louder, mainly because the fit is so extremely important when wearing these buds! Just a tiny bit off and the sound is completely gone.
(2) The battery life is just an absolute beast.. Getting at the minimum 5 hrs but I never passed 3 hrs simply because I have arrived to my destination by then. I only have had the earbuds for a day, so this review will get updated whenever I do get more use in.
(3) Bass: At initial use, the bass was basically not even present especially since these are open set earbuds. PLEASE DO THIS TO GET MORE BASS!!! I have no idea why this worked so magically because I was simply playing around with the Galaxy Wearable App (remember to also download the Galaxy Bud Live plugin when the app asks). When you enter the wearable app, go to Labs. When in Labs TURN ON Relieve Pressure with Ambient Sound. THIS LITERALLY WENT FROM 20% BASS TO 90% BASS IDK WHY BUT DO IT IF YOU WANT BASS!!!
(4) Overall Sound Quality: This is hard to judge, but as for my gaming PC, I purposely have an open-ear headset so that it widens my soundstage and the sound simply is better in my personal opinion. When I got these earbuds, it was sort of like having speakers blasting at me in but without everyone else hearing it. In other word, unlike most of the earbuds I've used that has a passive seal for noise cancelling, these allow for very good spatial awareness. You can also tell how loud you are speaking to a person because you don't have as tight of a seal from these earbuds.
(5) Active Noise-Cancelling: Everyone is saying these earbuds don't have good Active Noise-Cancelling and they are sort of true, as long as you know how to use it. After figuring out the trick in Point (3) of this review, I started to notice that the Active Noise-Cancelling started to work wonders. The increased bass helped to drown out some of the higher notes. I still hear them of course, but a whole lot less when that Ambient Sound option is turned on. (This option just single handedly made my experience with these 10x better than I had initially anticipated!!)
(6) Comfort: Very subjective, but at first these were not that comfortable with the smaller eartip that came with the earbuds. After changing them to the larger and circular ones, these went from uncomfortable to "I can wear these to sleep and not be painful tomorrow morning". I literally walked to work and forgot I was still wearing them until someone told me 1/2 an hr later why I was still wearing them **embarrassed** but you get the idea!
Note: These are my first pair of expensive earbuds as the others were all $20-$50 sets. My overall experience with these earbuds went from "okay, but low-end earbuds could do the same thing" to "I see why I paid the price and I don't regret whatsoever". Buy these and look no further if you're okay with having spatial awareness when outside!! I wanted these specifically so that I can still hear what's going on around me without having to take out 1 or both of my earbuds for safety reasons.
