"My Samsung Galaxy Buds bought in 2019 still working fine."
"Ditto. ... I used to buy the $40 ones and they'd last 6 months tops. ... Galaxy buds are worth the extra price"

Not 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.
r/galaxybuds • [UPDATE] Galaxy Buds 2 Pro after two years of heavy use ->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
r/galaxyzflip • Best earbuds partner for flip 6 ->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.
r/Earbuds • AZ100 Best TWS overall in 2025 !!! ->Used to be Samsung Galaxy Buds (1st gen), now its the JBL Tour Pro 3.
r/Earbuds • What’s everyone’s daily driver true wireless earbuds ->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.
r/Earbuds • What’s everyone’s daily driver true wireless earbuds ->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!
r/neurodiversity • Sensory issues - ear bud recommendations? ->Galaxy buds first ones that came out
r/S24Ultra • What wireless earbuds are you guys using? ->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.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->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.
r/galaxybuds • Galaxy buds 3 pro, are they any good? ->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.
r/galaxybuds • Best fitting buds? ->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?
