Samsung - Galaxy Buds (1st Gen)

Galaxy 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

I never get why people that don't like stock tips bail and move on. I go back to the icon X and even before. Never once used the stock tips on anything. Couldn't care less how stock tips fit, what they give you and so on. So to just dismiss the Xm5's because of the stock foam tips makes no sense when noise canceling is a major criteria. Even more so when you can pick up refurbs with 2yr warranty from Secondipity/ebay for $115. Also like the DPP's. More detail than the Xm5's. The two have an inverse relationship when comparing sound quality and noise cancellation. But neither are bad. Still taking the Xm5's on the plane. And I do abuse my Xm5's. 2yrs of daily use and they spend about 4hrs a week in the sauna at 175 degrees. Never missed a beat until I dropped the left one in the pool, and it took me a couple to find it. Picked up a new pair for $115 and back in business today. Will sell the old case and right bud on ebay to make some coin back. And with the DPP's at $150, I just can't see the extra $100+ being a worthwhile upgrade over these two. Maybe when refurbs are available under $200 I'll try them.

Used 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.

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). 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!

Galaxy buds first ones that came out

First gen Galaxy buds. Looking to upgrade. Battery life is short and the shape makes them fall out of my ears when I'm just sitting there in meetings.

They are the most high quality, superior performing buds that i have ever experienced. I have owned the original galaxy buds and galaxy buds 2. These blow those away. I have never experienced clean, crisp sound like this before. I can't imagine anything ever beating these. The sound quality is just excellent.

Fe 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.

how are the ambient sound features in earbuds other than airpods pro 2? Just got them and this is the feature I like the most, more than sound quality and noise cancellation. I would like to know if others have similar or better quality environmental sound reproduction. My last non-airpod earbuds were the galaxy buds 1 and they were definitely NOT good in that sense.

I'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?

Can 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!!!

I'm late to the party but your comment has me perplexed. The original Galaxy Buds have silicone in-ear parts and silicone wings for fitting in the ear, no? I'm still rocking mine and the expert suggestions are very similar to my original Galaxy Buds. Do you mean the Galaxy Buds Live? They had less silicone.

Thank you for satisfying my curiosity! Yes, I think the Lives came out a little bit after the originals. Ear buds are tricky. My original Galaxy Buds are still holding up, but when they bite the dust I'm going to be lost for a while in audio limbo. I hope you are able to find a pair to fit your standards!

Sony WH1000XM4, Airpods Pro and non-Pro, Galaxy Buds (1, 2, and 2 Pro), some random cheap chinese TWS (Xiaomi, QCY, etc.) You can spot them in public transport and while you walk down the city. Airpods (Pro and non-Pro) are definitely the most popular, XM4 is second, random TWS is 3rd, and Galaxy Buds are in the last place.

Im another with "weird shaped ears" . The original galaxy buds, jbl live free 2, and for whatever reason i bought a set of the mifo 05 3rd gen, are my top 3 for not coming out. Beats fitness pro felt like they wouldnt but i could never set an eq that sounded good to me. unfortunately all in ear types so not quite to your criteria, but theyre also all relatively small buds so they sit fairly flush, which i assume means theres less wiggle while you move

If you can save up for XM4s, those are great too. But I feel ya. I loved my original Galaxy Buds as well.

Pretty much. Galaxy Buds work well especially if you have a Samsung phone. (Features) Especially in the sub 60usd space. Only other option are the Moondrop Space Travel, whose quality of audio is better. The NC is weak, and volume doesn't go up for those who are nearly deaf like me. $27 If you're lucky to find one below $60, the AKG N400NC are amazing and the closest I've gotten to XM5 level of audio and NC but they ate discontinued and AKG cleared the stock at $40. All metal construction, battery life (both case and buds) is decent, tips subjective. If you go expensive, XM5 are the best imo. LDAC, battery life, best ANC, foam tips, vast amount of features, etc.

Also I've done some serious research on which are the best atm. If you own a galaxy phone, go for these. Otherwise the Anker soundcore liberty 4 pro and I believe the onebuds +(?) are good contenders within this price range (of the 50% off galaxy's, full price at 250€/$ is not worth it). It all depends on what your interested in. Calling& sound was most important for me. [check this YT video ](https://youtu.be/-nWkcwUi394) and check his website. He has a excel sheet (free) to check all buds. In the 2nd graph you can change how important a feature is by changing the nr. This is all you need to make a good decision.

Using the buds 2 pro with my S24 ultra. Its a lot better than the original buds that I got with my S20. Only gripe for me is the noise cancellation is very weak. I can still hear a lot of outside noise even when I'm in my room. Ambient mode on the other hand is perfect when I'm walking or jogging feels like I got my audio playing inside my head while I'm still aware of my surroundings.

I just got em for $100 off. My last pair of wireless were the original Galaxy buds, the wf 1000xm3s and the Sennheiser momentum 3 Xm5s have better ANC (and in fact pretty good passive isolation) and sound better than the rest. Im pretty satisfied with the noise cancelling, and people say I sound good. The ambient sound mode is also a huge upgrade over the 3 above.

I second galaxy buds. Also still using 1st gen. They're hardly noticable, hold a charge well and recharge quick fast.

Oh yeah the new buds DO NOT fit my ears at all. I have a pair of old galaxy buds from like 2019 or something and they're perfect. When these go, I don't know what I'm going to do.

I've tried the Samsung and Google ones and both come with a rubber thingy that wedges in your ear and both stay in while I run. I think the models are Galaxy Buds and Pixel Buds (neither is a pro version)

Galaxy buds are great until the vent clogs up so go with jbl or something

True lmao I have tried galaxy buds and they sound great but not worth the price. I have not tried to set the eq yet, maybe t3 pros will sound better once I fix my eq

I have/had several earbuds with silicon or foam tips: AirPods Pro 1&2, various Galaxy Buds, Pixel Buds Pro and the Sony WF-1000XM5. Some of theses are fantastic (especially the Sony XM5). But they all fall out and bother my ear canal. I've tried different sizes tips, Comply and other 3rd party tips nothing works. I wanted higher quality sound, but the AirPods 1 and 2 are the only ones that fit, didn't fall out and bother me. I never tried the AirPods 3, I'll try the 4s and hopefully they work like generations 1/2 did.

Came here to say these. Sound is way better than Air pods, as a reference. I keep them in the car because I use them only for working out and if I just connect them once a week to my car charger on the way to the gym I never have issues.

I've tried some Galaxy Earbuds and they're fine once you put the helmet on but when you take off your helmet, it will hurt your ears. Especially if you have a very snug fitting helmet.

I personally like the Galaxy Buds best here with Nothing a close second. I haven't actually tried the freebuds 4 enough to comment however 

Galaxy buds +

No, not on aliexpress, but I am sure you can find some on your local marketplace they are amazing buds for money

If u have a samsung phone, u shud just get the galaxy buds for the samsung seamless codec.

Galaxy Buds. I usually wear a hair band around my head so I just cover my ears with them if I'm doing something super physical, but I usually have no issue with them. I wear only one when I'm driving or at my kiddos sporting events and two when I really want to zone out.

Out of these 4? Galaxy Buds if you have a Samsung phone. Otherwise either B&W Pi8s, Denon Perl Pro or Nothing Ear(2024).

Ditto. I used to buy the $40 ones and they'd last 6 months tops. Galaxy buds are worth the extra price

Nothing fit my ears before the conch piercings, the closest were the Galaxy Buds and the I found the Bose Open Ultra and they are great. No pain, no having on fall out.

Galaxy buds for casual listening. Aiaiai TMA-2 studio pro for production KZ ZS10 Pro 2 for performance in ears

How are pixel buds regarding unintentional touches? My galaxy buds were great except for the fact that I kept brushing against them and de/activating something, which drove me nuts. I love my Jabras because they have physical buttons but Jabra will stop making buds in the future.

I use my Samsung Galaxy Buds 👀

I recommend Samsung Galaxy Buds! Bought mine last last year ata and the battery life is still so good (Can last up to 4-5hours nonstop. The noise cancellation is also good and hindi siya madali mahulog (just choose the right tip size)

[This one po](https://s.shopee.ph/5VEJHbM7Rj) however, di siya official store so I’m not sure po if they are still producing it 🥹

Damn! Thanks man The thing is most of them are the shape of airpods 4 which I'm not comfortable with either. The earpods are so comfy. But the samsung buds are so good considering they're exactly like airpods 4 but 90$ less.

I switch between galaxy buds and bone conduction headphones depending on what activity Im doing and where I am

AirPods or galaxy pods 100%

If you have a samsung device/s go with the galaxy buds, otherwise go with liberty 4. Those are the ones ive tried.

My Samsung galaxy buds have survived three full washing machine cycles (I keep forgetting them in my pocket). I’d say they are pretty hard core. I have the buds+, but they are from 2020 so I’d say buy whatever is the latest model.

What about bose quietcomfort? Theyre on sale right now for 159 euro. Thank you btw, i do have samsung and the galaxy buds have some nice features i think.

I would say if you have a Samsung device, just get the Galaxy buds. But any other device, I would recommend getting the OnePlus. The OnePlus also better sound quality (better imaging, soundstage, and seperation). But the Samsung has better transparency mode and better ANC when it comes to blocking out high frequencies. It's not really a noticeable difference.

I prefer the Samsung Galaxy buds

Honest to God Every single set of buds I've ever owned makes it 6 months or less before something breaks Ive had skull candys Jbls Galaxy buds Raycons All last 2-6 months before something goes wrong I wear buds pretty much 24 hours a day And I've had a pair of tozo t10's from Amazon for $20 that have lasted a year and a half with 0 problems. I refuse to spend ridiculous amounts anymore.

My Samsung Galaxy Buds bought in 2019 still working fine.

Yeah I think after 6 years the batteries are getting weak. Probably 4 hours runtime now. But I'm planning on just replacing the batteries.

The models have been updated since I got mine in 2021, but I really love my Samsung Galaxy earbuds. They block noise really well for me especially if I pop on some quiet white/brown noise. I use them for remote work, take all my calls on them, etc.

I did notice my NOTHING ears have pretty mid noise canceling. I don't care as much because I just use my over-ear for noise canceling. I've never had amazing ANC buds so maybe i'm missing out. I do wish I had a android phone, my first ever buds were the Samsung Galaxy Buds. Loved them. The struggle is finding something that sounds great, with above average ANC, at a somewhat decent price $150-$80. I almost got the AV100s but I just couldn't justify the price. I'm currently really happy with the NOthings, but my main worry is quality control.

My Sennheiser Accentum, they are the nicest Headphones i've had. Really like them, sometimes my og samsung galaxy buds.

I use them too. I went through samsung galaxy buds, airpods, 3 pairs of sennheisers tw3m and now I’m using technics. I wouldn’t say they are better or worse than TW3 but at least they aren’t broken every few months. My only complaint is that a lot of times they aren’t charging one of my buds because of the “dirt” even though I clean them everytime before storing them in the case. It wasn’t like that in the beginning. But tbh I’m on my second pair of technics as well. First one stopped charging after like a month or so

I’ll probably end up stashing my 2’s in my gym bag. Right now I’ve got my old Samsung Galaxy Buds in there, they’ve honestly come in clutch so many times.

For comfort, I’d go with the Sony buds—they sound great and are usually really comfy.The Galaxy Buds  are also solid, especially if you have a Samsung phone. They’re comfy and have good sound. If you want something different and unique, the Nothing Buds 2 look cool and are comfy too.  

I'm still loving my Samsung galaxy buds- not plus, not 2. Nice simple black pill in your pocket. Good sound, lasts long enough the way I use them ( one at a time)

My Galaxy Buds live 😂. All I got and is honestly better than I anticipated so I'll take it

The older sony xm3's (and the xm4's albeit its not as easy) have replaceable batteries, along with some of the galaxy buds (they all use the same battery). I guess the fairphone ones are also repairable, but iirc they aren't amazing earphones to begin with. That's likely the closest you're gonna get to a TWS that "lasts". Alternatively, getting bluetooth hooks for wired iems like some of the other commenters here mentioned would also sort of work, since the IEM itself should last a really long time (but now its the hook thats somewhat disposable. Some of them might have batteries that are easy to replace, but I don't really follow them closely)

Do NOT use samsung galaxy buds with the LeGo. The sound is awful and choppy. Galaxy buds don't have the right code s for Windows.

You NEED a case quick, I just bought them months ago and the silver coating vanished, making it look black not silver

I got the samsung galaxy buds somewhere in 2020 and so did my gf. They are both still working fine. But I have uograded to the buds 3 because of a good deal. But they are still going strong after daily use at work.

They were decent, but a little expensive for the offered features. Have you thought about the Soundcore Space A40 or Earfun Free 2? A really comfy pair is the Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2.

Adult leader? Don't know, I can never get comfortable trying that, but my Samsung Galaxy Buds have been good Scout? Why do you have electronics out there? Earplugs, grab a couple extra foamies from the range if you forget some. Yes I am well aware some of you might flame my deeply held position that phones, tablets, smart watches, computers are detrimental to the point of being outdoors, and us leaders shouldn't be openly using ours in front of Scouts either.

Any Galaxy buds tbh

Samsung galaxy buds always had an issue with connecting wirelessly to the switch 1 but 2 fixes that!

No such thing as good Galaxy Buds. They're POS. You're eventually either gonna have 1 making shrieking noises in your ear. Or one with lower volume than the other. For such an expensive and supposedly premium item, they work worse than the cheap buds.

not best anc but they definitely best tws buds you can buy in these price range

Not exactly what you asked for, but when I’m in an environment that I *really* need to drown out, I wear Loop earplugs under my noise cancelling headphones (Bose Quietcomfort Ultra) with the sound turned up high. I have many kinds of Loop earplugs so I choose depending on the amount of cancellation I need. They lay pretty flush to the ear. But to answer your original question, AirPods have been the best ANC buds I’ve used. I’ve only compared to the Galaxy Buds, but they’re better.

I've had samsung galaxy buds for years and don't think I've ever had one fall out.

I use galaxy ones they are pretty good to be cheap

I've had my Galaxy buds for 5 or 6 years I think. The best buds ever and so comfortable. Obviously discontinued, but if you can find them, I would get them.

Jabra Elite 10's. Not bad. Not amazing. The ANC isn't great. I preferred the Buds Pro 2 but I washed those. Then I washed my back pair of Galaxy buds. I decided to go with a cheaper pair (the Jabra's were on offer) that wouldn't break the bank should I leave them in the pocket of my laundry.

Pretty much any premium choice, like sony, Bose, Samsung, etc. if you want something lightweight, the new Sony link buds are great. Bose has great sound in their quietcomfort earbuds, but call volume is a bit lower than the competition. Galaxy buds are great all around. I have owned a few pairs.

Yes, that's a good thing. But even that feature is not *new*; which I was going for. I've had it on my galaxy buds for a while now. Probably not as good but still. And I agree. If these can replace buying expensive medical level hearing aids, it's only for the better. And I too have family members thatbuse hearing aids. One of the main things about them (for some reason) is that our older generation (atleast in our case) doesn't seam to like the wear bulky looking ear pieces for pretty much 24/7. It's breen a struggle sometimes. Also, earing aids have some features not available on others, like ability to boost specific frequencies and also quiet others with precision.

The samsung galaxy buds.

Sony WF-1000XM5 and Samsung Galaxy Buds.

If they are real I love mine. The only issue is have is charging them after a run I have to wait bc my left one seems tk collect moisture or something

yeah mine just be a one off deal. I still love these, they the only earbuds that don't hurt my ears when I wear them, unless I wear them for like 4 or 5 hours

I only have issues with my left one, and it's when I wore them when it was raining (which was stupid), and the few times I ran with them. I still love them.

New galaxy buds are amazing!

To be fair, it's BT compressed but still sound great. Wired is Flagship ANC. Extremely pleased with these OTE headphones

Ya I use galaxy buds as well but with the foam tip which helps keep it seated even better. I only ever run with one in so I’m still able to hear. 

Advice needed! I have been looking a long time and tried quite a few earbuds. But I cannot find it. So reddit, hear me out. Back in the day I bought a Samsung S8 and they came with these amazingly nice fitting yet very simple AKG wired ear buds. I still have them and these (and SONY MDR-EX15LP) have been the only ear buds that fitted in my ears without getting uncomfortable after 10 minutes of using. But unfortunately all the 3.5mm jacks are disappearing and the adapters are always a hassle. I am in need of wireless ones. So far I have tried: - soundcore liberty 4 nc (absolute horrible fit) - samsung galaxy buds - jabra 75t - some 3rd party brands I am done trying and wasting money on buds that don't fit my ears. So who can help me find ear buds that resemble the ergonomy of the AKG and sony's I've mentioned? Other requirements that are of high importance to me are: - high grade call quality (as in I need to be able to have a clear conversation while cycling to work through northern winds) - pretty good noice cancelling. Not the absolute best though. I have my Bose QC over ear headphone for that. - simple interface. I am not an audiophile nor a tech wizard. - flawless connectivity with any device. I absolutely loathe things that don't work when prompted. Hopefully some of you can point me in the right direction. I would be forever greatful😁.

Samsung Galaxy buds are pretty solid. Sound great, never had comfort issues. Used to wear them for 8 hours straight and never had issues. Would have to charge them once a week or so.

This is my exact set up and I work in a massive industrial plant, it works incredibly well.

Are there any earbuds that have multi-point connection, ANC, AND good microphones? I am also facing similar issues with my QC Ultra earbuds. The mics are just garbage. It captures every sound in the background but not my voice. At least on the laptop when I use MS Teams I have an option of selecting the laptop microphone. But when I'm on the move and take calls on my phone, it's very difficult for people to hear what I'm saying.  I was also facing issues with one earbud being louder than the other and I've already gone through 3 pairs. A little bit of ear wax and the performance starts degrading. I need to clean it with a microfiber cloth and screen cleaning liquid at least twice a week. My old Samsung Galaxy Buds were definitely better and cheaper than this. So yes, I would love some recommendation on good earbuds.

I am deeply dissapointed in the Galaxy Buds, ANC is really bad and the problem not in the level of suppresion but the fact that they sometimes differ in each ear, mic noise cancelation is also garbage, I barely could talk in the noisy environment ( like Mall or cars at the highway ) Sometimes they failed to switch off the call mode, sometimes the sound differ in ears. Very unstable, but the most annoyin is instability of the noise cancelation both in and out, I ended up using wired headphones again, planning to test huawei buds pro 3.

Yeah, I've heard they're amazing! I want to get a pair myself sometime soon but haven't quite yet. The Bose QuietComfort and Samsung Galaxy Buds have been my dailies for the last year or so and the QuietComfort is really nice. The Galaxy Buds are fine but don't fit in my ears so well. Anyways, thanks for chiming in!

Galaxy buds or my logitech g pro x
