"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."

"Samsung galaxy buds always had an issue with connecting wirelessly to the switch 1"
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+.
r/galaxybuds • Galaxy Buds Plus ->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
r/SteamDeck • What Earbuds do you use ->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.
r/Earbuds • How good/bad are the Sony XM5 earbuds in 2025? Any feasible alternatives? ->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.
r/cycling • Has anyone tried the new Airpods Pro 3 for cycling? ->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
r/galaxybuds • Which buds do you recommend? ->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
r/galaxybuds • Which buds do you recommend? ->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.
r/XXRunning • What are some good Running Headphones you'll recommend buying right now? ->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)
r/beginnerrunning • Ear buds that don’t fall out? ->Galaxy buds are great until the vent clogs up so go with jbl or something
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds for Working Out? - Recommend me some please! ->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.
r/lawncare • Absolute best Mowing headphones? ->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
r/PakistaniTech • Cheapest earbuds with ANC? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
