I've in the last few weeks jumped from the original buds (never an issue) to the new buds 4 pro. Purely because I had enough Samsung points it was a brainer. Original buds were a perfect fit, great sound sealing and never ever fell out. Buds 4 pro, none of the sizes fit well, constantly fall out, never feel like they sit well in the ears. Anyone else had such a stark contrast? I've got a set of sonic foam tips to try, better but not as good as the originals
Didn'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
Meanwhile my gen 1 galaxy buds are still going strong. I just ordered some buds2 pro. Honestly just needed something that “works”.
I have a few sets of over ear cans that cost a few bucks, as for buds I’ve only ever had the og galaxy buds (terrible) and AirPod pro 2/3 (good enough for my limited use case). If I used them everyday I’d look into something higher end.
First-generation Galaxy Buds. Sufficient for what I need it for - and I have a lot of possible tech purchases on the horizon - that's why I won't be upgrading them any time soon. Maybe the 5 or 6 when they come out.
Had mine for six years lol I'm in the US lol, but 150$ isn't really best spent on a pair of buds for me. I'd rather use that to upgrade storage when I replace my phone or tablet, for example. Plus, these buds work like they did on Day 1, and I don't really use them too much since I have headphones that do the job.
Understandable that you aren't keen on purchasing. Your 3 Pro was only bought recently and that should do the trick for the next few years - not worth blowing another 300$ on the 4 Pro right now. I'm still on my OG first-gen Galaxy Buds and they work fine for what I do with them occasionally.
I got my first gen Buds with my S10 and after reviews I bought the Buds 4 pro. Wonderful sound but they sit horribly in the ear compared to the first gen Buds, especially in my left ear. I didn't think it would be that much of a difference and wish there was the extra rubber thing on the new ones that was on the original because with those you got a snug and perfect fit that you didn't have to be afraid that they fell out. Are there addons for the buds to make them fit better except for different rubber tips(the ones surrounding the speaker)?
