"Samsung galaxy buds (1st gen) sit in the external part of the ear. ... Like you, I have small ears and I find that ear buds don't sit well in my ears, or they block them and then I don't like the feeling of them (pressure change)."

"I just hate how every single pair of "pro" buds they've come out with have been so uncomfortable to wear. ... Doesn't matter how great the pros are on the tech side of incant stand to wear them for more than 10 mins at a time."
"most of them are the shape of airpods 4 which I'm not comfortable with either. ... the samsung buds are so good considering they're exactly like airpods 4"
"Both the FE and the pro have bigger 'buds' than their original ears and are too big for mine unfortunately. ... I just want a very tiny bud with rounded/bullet tips instead of the oval tips they use today."

AlexMullerSA 1.0Not at all. I eventually had the original wireless buds with my S10 and I used them daily for 2+ years without a problem, only reason I changed was the Active Noise Cancelling and I obviously got them free with my phone. Since then I gave them to my sister and she uses them everyday and says they still work like they did when I gave them to her. That was from 2019.
combikiller_BE 1.0Didn't know was possible. I've had galaxy buds 1. Pro 2 and pro 3 and they already broke within 1st year... friend of mine has had same air pods pro 2 for last 2 years orso so was thinking of getting them
crayzeejew 1.0Galaxy Buds Pro 3 - a lot of people got these at the same time they got the phone. Honestly, love my Flip6 and I love my Buds Pro 3. I traded in my Flip 3 for the 6 and my Buds OG for the Buds Pro 3
DaveUnderscore 1.0Meanwhile my gen 1 galaxy buds are still going strong. I just ordered some buds2 pro. Honestly just needed something that “works”.
earl088 1.0Used to be Samsung Galaxy Buds (1st gen), now its the JBL Tour Pro 3.
They were perfect. The JBL on the other hand is just a touch big for my ears, using the Spinfit W1 solves the issue due to the added esr tip height, however, I can no longer close the case with it.
efaitch 1.0Samsung galaxy buds (1st gen) sit in the external part of the ear. Like you, I have small ears and I find that ear buds don't sit well in my ears, or they block them and then I don't like the feeling of them (pressure change). The issue again is that earphones that sit in the external ear are harder to come by and the noise cancellation effect isn't as good as with headphones. I find that I can wear headphones on and off but not for an extended time! I think some Airpods also sit similarly to Samsung buds (1st gen) too? I just did a Google search for 'earphones not in ear canal' and found Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 look to be similar to Airpods, without the silicon bud as well as some JBL ones? Might be worth doing that search and looking at the reviews? Sorry I can't help further, but would be interested in the outcome!
f1da 1.0Galaxy buds first ones that came out
Interesting-Salt141 1.0Fe might be the best fit in most cases bcz it has wingtips buds3 and 3 pro quite similar to airpods3 and pro respectively, but the big stem might cause discomfort to some ppl. buds pro is the biggest and thickest one, most ppl dont go with it. buds 2 is the smallest but the most slippery pair. buds 2 pro is somewhere in between this duo. buds live is weirdly shaped, meant to be a competitor of normal airpods(comfy for most) but its long shape break its meaning buds 1 and buds+ are similar to fe, but you hardly find a new pair of them these days gear icon x same as buds 1.
lessthanadam 1.0I'm tempted upgrade from my Galaxy Buds (1) but I'm afraid that everyone js saying they don't fit snug. I mostly use my buds while doing lawn work so I need a really secure fit. Anyone have any thoughts on how well they stay in?
Malikmonique24 1.0Can you show the app please and the function? Because of what i saw its the same interface as the newer buds because they updated those but me too i had buds og (not plus the og) but the right one broke so i bought fe just because of the wigntip desing and they had anc! And the wingtip i aprove its so confortable and secure never fall out of my ear!!!
