Samsung Galaxy Buds SM-R170 True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds (Black)

Overall, I was unsure of what wireless headphones to get since reviews on other ones would be overly good or bad and I had never bought any before. So after researching different ones, I decided on these ones and was not disappointed at all.With these, they paired perfectly with my Samsung S8 with little to no effort. They charge very quickly and have a very long battery life. So far I've gone at least 8 hours until the battery even gets to a low enough for me to think about changing it soon.Sound quality is not the best, but it is still very good. On my phone, the sound had been considerably low when talking into it directly, so having headphones was necessary for me (also since its not stated anywhere, these do have a microphone). These do cancel out background noise very well, but for some things, even with the volume at the highest setting, it can still be slightly lower than I would like but still not bad. If you're looking for ones for music, these would work fine but there are probably better ones out there. They stay in your ear very well, and come with different size wings if you need to switch to a smaller or bigger size for them to fit more comfortably. I have no worries about them falling out and feel like they would be good if you were thinking of getting these for the gym or other outdoor activities.The only thing I dislike is that it seems these particular headphones are only able to pair to other Samsung devices. They were not compatible with my PS4 like I hoped they would be.

If you like to switch your electronic device every couple of years, then do not buy these. They will completely foil your plans. I have beat on them since 2020 and they still work excellently. As some examples, I have dropped them on the parking lot numerous times, I have worn them in 40 degrees below zero, I have dropped them in a tub full of water, I have dropped them in a sink full of water (more than once), and most recently I sent them through the washing machine. Nothing stops them. They are the unstoppable force that defeated the immovable object. They still work like the day I purchased them. I only wish I had not thrown away the replacement rubber, since that will likely wear out before the mechanical/electronic functionality.

My first set of ear buds of any type and I am quite pleased. Got last year's model, used, but in good condition and very happy with them.The fit is good out of the box for me, but still comes with alternate fitting pieces and extra ear cone tips.Sound is very good, and the app gives you some equalizer control to fit your preferred sound envelope with several selections of presets.

I was a bit late hopping on the wireless earbud trend, but I finally bought these and am overall pleased with these Samsung Wireless Earbuds. The sound quality is superb and the battery life is pretty good - you don't need to charge them after every use since they charge when you close the case, unless you're using them for long periods of time. I like that they automatically connect to the bluetooth on my phone when I open the case. These are extremely convenient for when I workout and listen to my podcasts, without the hassle of the typical wired earbuds. Being able to pause my music/podcast remotely is a feature that I am loving. The only downside I've experienced with these are that when I wear them for too long they tend to hurt the part of my ears that hold them. They are noticeably bigger than regular earbuds, and understandably so with all the capabilities it has, but unlike regular earbuds I prefer not to wear them to sleep in. Overall, I consider this a worthy investment and would recommend to Samsung fans like myself and anyone looking for some quality wireless earbuds.

Let me propose a scenario Samsung apparently never considered: A user has both a smartphone AND a computer.It is not possible to pair these earbuds to two devices at once!I happen to own both a laptop and an Android phone. I would like to be able to go from listening to something on one to listening to something on the other. Other bluetooth earbuds at least attempt to handle this scenario. Samsung's Galaxy Buds do not.In order to switch to listening to music on my laptop, I must go into my phone's Bluetooth settings, FORGET the earbuds, then activate pairing mode on my laptop. After about 30 seconds they'll pair up.I must also do the same in reverse, go into my laptop's menu and unpair my headphones to re-pair them on my phone! It takes more than a minute to do this, fumbling through two different GUIs!This is unacceptable, especially as I come from using a pair of wired headphones. Wired headphones don't have this problem, all you need to do is unplug a wire and plug it into the device you want to use. It's hard to justify buying a $100+ pair of bluetooth headphones that are beaten by a $30 pair of wired headphones.Shame on Samsung for pushing this mediocre product. Although the other aspects of the device are ok, I cannot recommend this garbage when it only works with one device.Only consider buying this if you only own one a single computer or phone, not both.

I tried a couple of the bargain brands and was extremely disappointed. It seems like you really get what you pay for when it comes to ear buds. These are very nice! Great sound with good bass. Fit perfectly. Stayed in while I was on the golf range and bike rides. Not sure how well they would do with something more vigorous like crossfit.
