Samsung - Galaxy Buds Core

Best Buds ever, nothing later compares, I tried all of them, and none fits so good as Buds+, impossible to fall out of the ear, unlike all "pro" including Apple's (my wife has an iPhone and specifically asked me to NOT buy Airpods for her birthday, she loves Buds+ :) Bought new Buds Core (as a cheap backup) and while they are very similar, still can't match Buds+.

I use the galaxy buds core, and this is my first from the galaxy buds series of earbuds Before that I used Air Pod 2s i believe, and they werent a good fit for me (quite literally speaking) The buds themselves are really good, especially the noise cancelling The case of the buds is not the best quality, and it still explodes when dropped ;-; Would still reccomend them though

You can get Samsung Buds FE or Core. They're great, good build and overall solid. If your priority is not ANC then don't even bother with XM5.

The best I found was the Galaxy buds plus, these are old and for mine the battery was going and connection became unstable. I just bought the galaxy buds core which are visually the same and great for cycling. I also own some Airpods Pro 2 but the buds core are better for cycling IMO.

Buds 3 pro are better than buds2/pro, regular buds3 have good sound quality but are uncomfortable after using them a while so I would not recommend for long time usage also ANC is not good, buds FE and Buds Core are both good pair of budget earbuds but lack some features than the main line of galaxy buds, sound quality is good in both and also ANC, FE and Core are almost the same but the Core has better build quality and lacks 360 audio, and finally there are the buds3 FE which, in my opinion, are the most balanced of all the above, sound quality at a par with the 3 pros, ANC better than any samsung earbud, long lasting battery life and better fit, but it lacks some features like UHQ audio, voice commands, adjust to fit. I recommend you to get the buds3 pro if you can afford it and also if the manufacture date is from the most recent batch, if you want something more affordable then go with the Buds3 FE, really good pair of earbuds, if you want a second pair for another type of use then also get the core, I have both Buds3 Pro and Buds Core, the pro for daily use and core for running and workouts

The core are good for fitness and has a pretty good set of mics, haven't tried the gaming mode but I've read that the latency is not very good but on calls the core works pretty good, but the 3 FE are also pretty good in the scenarios you want to use them, I think they'll be a bit better on calls since the stem mic is closer to the mouth. To summarize both are good for what you want to use them for but in my opinion the Core will give you a better fit for the gym and the 3 FE better call audio quality

I just use my regular ear buds (Samsung buds), small, low profile so I can use ear warmers over. They don't fall out and fit the shape of my ears well. I wear only 1 when I run or bike so I can still be aware of my surroundings. Also when the battery dies, I just switch to the other bud.

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

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.

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

Airpods have the same latency on a Steam Deck or any other PC as your galaxy buds for the same reason. They will both be using the SBC codec with precisely the same performance.

Samsung galaxy ear buds i got when I got my phone through a deal

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 usually impulse buy and then use 2 pairs and sleep with the galaxy buds because they're the smallest

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 

I have a handful of wired earbuds that came with various Samsung phones my wife and I had over the years. I still use them on my steam deck and some other devices. I also have my galaxy buds from like 7 years ago still hanging on.

I just use my Galaxy Buds. It's good enough for calls and for listening to music/podcasts on my cell phone. Why wouldn't it be good enough for my work laptop? Just connect through bluetooth.

Galaxy Buds and Airpods both have this feature

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.

For me, I mostly listen to podcasts and I've used $15 and $150 earbuds, and I can't tell a difference at all outside of a couple outcast cheapos that were just bad. The biggest thing to me is a good mic really, and it's starting to get to like $30 earbuds have a decent mic with decent background cancellation too. Still not as good as the airpods or galaxy buds but close.

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

Without a doubt the pro x. Followed by the B&W if you can afford, and personally I prefer the Denons over the momentum 4s - use mostly for the gym, the M4s had wonderful sound, just weren’t loud enough. The pro x gives you everything you can ask, just get the foam tips separately. The galaxys were straight trash and the technics are both ok, not really sure why everyone’s d-riding them, to each their own i suppose.

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

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

Just my galaxy buds

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.

I use the galaxy buds and I've always liked them. Also when I lose or break one I ordered a refurbished replacement on ebay or whatever for like 15 bucks

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I can’t get the Deck to recognize my Galaxy Buds for love or money. I’m also very grateful for that audio jack. It’s the little things.

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.

Ok awesome. I pretty much only play single player as well but my older galaxy buds have terrible latency. I’ve been thinking of getting AirPods but wanted to make sure lol thanks!

You're lucky. Mine died a month after the warranty ended. Sigh.

My Bose QuietComfort have been going strong for 3 years. The noise reduction is very good too. I got them after a pair of Samsung Galaxy buds died after 13 months, a month after the warranty expired. That was annoying.

I just use my 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.

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. 

I use AirPods 2, galaxy buds, and mee pebbles.  Edit: forgot what sub this is. There are no bifl earbuds. 

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.

I haven't ran across any earbuds that are bill, but the closest I've gotten is a well cared for set of galaxy buds.

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

I just use my Galaxy buds they work on my phone and the steam deck makes life easier

I use Bose QC2 headphones at home, when I’m out I use my AirPods Pro. Both are great but my Bose are getting on a bit and are 6 years old, so their battery life is not what it once was. I also have Galaxy buds with noise cancelling that are really good but I have an iPhone so AirPods are just easier.
