Samsung - Galaxy Buds Pro

The pro are def better

Cheap earbuds have gotten so, so much better than they were a few years ago. I have tried both the Xiaomi Buds 6 and Buds 6 Pro (for about $25 and $40), and they're just so good I'm not even going to look for anything else anymore. I had the Samsung Buds Pro previously. The Buds 6 Pro are a little better than the Buds 6, I think the price difference is worth it.

Buds 2 pro has worse anc than buds pro. I am currently using both and i regret buying buds 2 pro

Got original buds Pro new with my S21 Ultra in April 2021 and have used them daily in the gym and gardening and they still hold up like day 1. No physical damage and the case/headphones battery last just as long, or long enough thatvI never notice that they need to be charged. Best headphones I have ever used. Will probably get a pair of Pro 2 when these give in

I have the Bud Pro 1, and nothing I can do will keep the left ear in. I was hoping the 2A would fit better. This is disappointing to hear. Not sure what I will get now. I'll look for better tips, again.

I literally just got mine and went through all the settings. My head is 12 inches from a window AC unit. With ANC on I'm literally sitting in a silent room. I've never had any headphones do that well. Coming from original OG Buds... this is a pretty big upgrade.

My original Galaxy Buds Pro have been great for noise cancellation. I use them on noisy planes and when I'm mowing the lawn. I'm only just replacing them now because they got dropped too many times which cracked the shell and let some rain in. Going for the Buds Pro 3.

I have the Galaxy Buds Pro, I got them a few years ago but I hardly use them. I always forget to grab them, etc. But in the good lock app, you can d/l an audio app that can adjust the latency +10 or -10 so you can sync the audio and video if there is lag. If you do pick up a pair of and earbuds, I suggest getting replacement tips. I use them more now I have memory foam tips and stay in much better.

Lowest profile & comfortable buds with active noise cancelling that I've tried, that work for me to side-sleep, are Samsung Buds2 & Pro. All of the rest protrude enough that they put pressure on. But if you're not a side-sleeper, anything with active noise cancelling will work.

So because I recently lost my Soundcore charging case and had some other issues with them, I got the Buds 3 pro because the price is now actually affordable. Long story short, pretty mid. Worth the 120€ I got them for but I expected much better given the initial 170€ starting price... The good: Sound quality. They have a really high potential and after fiddling with eq a bit, I managed them to sound better than my Liberty 4 pro did. Out of the box tho they lacked some serious punch and rumble when it was supposed to be there. A bit too flat tuned for my taste. And samsung SSC with UHQ enabled is a solit replacement for LDAC which I used with the Liberty 4 pro. Pairing was as expented also great. It just worked, installed the newest version and everything got explained pretty well. The bad: Transparency mode sounds worse and has alongside with the ANC some noticable whitenoise which already bothers me... ANC itself also isn't much better than the Liberty 4 pro. And the build quality... The Case is ok, although I'm sure the transparent top will age horrible with yellowing, scratched and everything. But the buds.... Oh boy, the stems feel so dirt cheap and hollow, I was shocked when I first took them in my hand. The Liberty 4 pro where mich better there and my old Buds pro 1 without the stem felt much better. I have no idea yet how the battery will do on these but given how my Buds pro 1 held bout 4 hours max with everything ok, I don't expect much here either but even the Soundcore lnly lasted me bout 4 hours before needing to recharge. Overall for 120€ it's ok but they really are nothing special at all. I guess I was a bit too exited for it because the Buds pro 1 have been so great when they released. (Until I lost the charging case for them just like with my Liberty 4 pro LMFAO)

Lmao yk what, I'm gonna return them while I still can. No idea what I'll choose instead for now but I ain't staying on the Buds 3pro. The orientation when putting them in the Case is annoying, the stem this specific stem design just sucks for usability too, missing multipoint is a bigger deal for me than I thought and the nuild quality is just awfull. (Speaking of the gaps in the headphones). The only reason why I really liked the samsung buds before was the IPX7 rating. Took my original Buds pro in the shower all the time and nothing happend but guess what. Took a shower rn, and suddenly the right earbud started screaming with like 17khz or whatever. But it def hurt my ear... Even if the sound is great now after some EQ, in every other way it's just a worse Airpods ripoff that stands out in nothing. It's be interesting to see even they even replace it now in case they figure it out it technically has water damage now but ofc I ain't gonna tell them. Heck, what else is the superior IP rating for when it just does nothing because the build quality is temu like level....

I tried my Samsung Buds Pro. Great sound, terrible lag. Unusable for games for me. I just use simple wired in-ear phones. Cheap and simple.

Tbh the OG pros good too I still use them

That noise cancelling top tier and they sound good asab

Was the Samsung earbuds pros 1st Gen not to big for your ears? This was the case for me, ended up giving them away.

still using the Galax Buds Pros from years ago

I also got the pro and really like them.

I just went from the Galaxy Buds Pro to the Bose QC Ultra and the noise cancelling on the QC Ultras is much better than the Galaxy Buds Pro

Samsung buds pro it's good, underated

I have the head set for flights and Samsung buds pro. Samsung is good.

Idk, ANC on my Galaxy Buds Pro is nonexistent compared to Momentum 4

If you are on iOS the AirPods are absolutely worth the investment. I call it investment cz I know that shit is expensive. I tried galaxy buds pro but quickly realised that my ear shape is such that stemless earbuds don’t stay in at all despite trying different bud cover size. I like AirPods because they don’t give me trouble as “sweatslikeapig” person, the noice cancellation is superior, they automatically shift between my iPad and phone the moment without me having to manually change. The head tracked, Spatial Audio and multiple modes of sound suppression/cancellation are added benefits. P.S. I wish they paid me to write such raving recco for them but sadly they don’t and this is coming purely from experience after trying multiple earbuds from the price range of 1K to well 21K.

I have medium ears and I can fit everything, I believe the galaxy buds pro 1 were the only one I had to keep readjusting

I've been in love with my Galaxy Bud Pro earbuds since I got them.

First of all why are you setting expectations for anc in $30 pair. I tried anc in samsung buds pro and immediately turned it off because of cabin pressure. Unless you buy expensive tws anc will be horrible one way or the other And second thing Just say This guy likes generic v shape with bass boost that are made by smartphone brands that have saturated the budget market

I've had 2 pairs of wireless earbuds. My first pair were some bulkier Bose ones. I liked the freedom of no wire, but all controls had to happen from one of the specific earbuds. Unfortunately, I prefer to have 1 earbud in when I am out walking and the controls were on the wrong earbud. It was a minor problem, but enough that it was a noted annoyance. They ran into an annoying problem you described, though - one started dying very fast and it became an issue. I had these for maybe 1.5 years total? I bought a pair of Galaxy Buds Pro in May 2021 and they have been a much better experience. I sweat a lot, and I have had no issues with accidental touches through that. I do sometimes accidentally pause a song when trying to physically adjust them, but that's more me not being mindful when I am doing that. Off the top of my head, I think its less of a panel and operates more through "taps" - Tap once to pause/play, tap 2x to skip song, tap 3x to go back. They also have a feature where tapping on on my ear (not the bud) can adjust volume - left ear is down, right ear is up. I have no idea if any of these are common features among other earbuds. They've worked great with daily use for years, and I would absolutely purchase a new pair if they died.

They're better than my original Galaxy Buds Pro, support LDAC, noise cancellation and transparency mode. Pretty hard to beat for $50

I've been a bit disappointed with the wf-1000xm5 noise cancelling. I need to try different ear tips before giving up on them. My old xm3 seem better than the xm5 Denon Perl Pro, also not that impressed with. Maybe they are too sealed and don't like the feeling and sound quality hasn't clicked for me with personalisation on or off. Soundcore 4 NC, are ok at most things but wouldn't be rushing to use them Moondrop space travel look nice in case, sound pretty good for the price, fit isn't the most comfortable My items not on the list. Most impressed with the soundpeats opera 5, weird fit but great sound, my original Samsung bud pro for convenience and solid performance and the Sony wf-1000xm3 bulky but great noise cancelling

Ah I see! It's the stuff I can't stand on my Samsung Buds Pro haha. I keep dropping out of meetings when I try to adjust the earpieces..

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.

Have some Galaxy Buds Pro but they're on the way out pretty much dying after 3 hours of use. I think so time to start researching. What have you guys been using with your Samsungs? Sticking with the Galaxy Buds series or trying other things? My main needs are long battery life to last me on cross country flights, and strong strong noise cancelling. I listen to music but I'm not an audio snob or anything. I'd like to maybe get in the habit of pairing with my TV again so when wife sleeps I can watch (which is why Samsung might be easy) I don't really use them for calls though obviously if something comes in I want to be able to hear them. Easier to connect the better. Love the way my current buds pair. I also prefer buds to "sticks" as far as form factor. Are the newest iterations of the Buds the way to go or is there something better? Not looking to spend a crazy amount, whatever is available at major retailers or club stores or online. ---Tons of responses already. Thank you for all these!

They never been the best sounding, not even close, the marketing influencers did helped a lot to raise their value in the mind of people, Samsung alone beat them easily with their pro on audio and EQ settings. They excelled in the ANC for sure, as many other brands didn’t reach that level.

I'm thinking about it - how convincing is multichannel surround sound (5.1/7.1 content - think movies, games), compared to the original Galaxy Buds Pro? Is it a YUGE improvement?

it doesn't answer my question: how convincing is multichannel surround sound (5.1/7.1 content - think movies, games), compared to the original Galaxy Buds Pro? Is it a YUGE improvement?

Thank you. I am very disappointed in the 360 audio with the original Buds Pro. When I turn my head i can pinpoint where the soundstage is as I turn my head and eyes closed i can imagine where the virtual drivers are, so I know the psychoacoustics _can_ work, but am very disappointed in 5.1 and 7.1 sources with both 360 and Atmos modess. I mean, the psychoacoustics on Pink Floyd's 1983 album the final cut, and the Qsound encoding on Waters' 1992 album Amused to Death - two binaural stereo mixes that deliver very convincing 3D stages with standard stereo headphones, no decoding necessary. It's a damn shame it's so hard to find convincing surround headphones and earbuds 30-40 years later when we have earbuds with advanced miniature DSPs that have more processing power than the supercomputers of that era.

I had the original buds pro, lost a single bud and decided to upgrade during Prime Day as well. I used them today for the first time at work and the Ambient sound is sooo much better than the first gen. I actually can have convos with my coworkers without turning the music down to a notch above mute.

Galaxy buds Pro. Works like native with the magic pods decky plugin.

I have the galaxy buds Pro... they are supported by magic pods plugin and I have the same experience. Not as bad as a 1s latency but still very remarkable.

Yes. Go with galaxy buds 2 pro or some sony headphone s xm5, xm6. They have better anc and sound quality than these so called Sennheiser. I regret buying momentum 4. The ANCs are so bad. Even my galaxy buds pro is far ahead. The sound quality of momentum 4 are hyped. I bet you will regret buying wireless momentum products. Better go with wired one or some other brands if you want wireless.

Bose QC ultras and samsung galaxy buds pro. I use the bose when i'm at home and the buds pro when i'm traveling.

I’m looking for some solid running buds, too. I’ve had Galaxy Pro buds for a few years now but looking for others and why they’re great. Thanks ✌🏼

I used to use buds pro and bose qc45(ik its not earbuds) but after I got a pair of iem with a bluetooth dac I rarely use them, especially the buds pro. If I were you I'd say iem with a dac for sound quality and battery life(on full charge it lasts for a full day without recharging). If you value mobility then buds 3 / 3 pro or any airpods that are relatively newly released

I've tried many and the Samsung pro buds win. Just definitely get the pro ones

Used galaxy buds pro

My few cents, I'm using XM5 (also Buds pro and FE). XM5 has great ANC but I would NOT buy them again (I got them as low as 135EUR!!) - foams are the worst, but in general they are slippy and uncomfortable. Unfortunately Samsung Buds are not an option for me because of lack of true Bluetooth multipoint. Right now I'm back on Jabra 75t (best earbuds ever for me, just with poor ANC). I'm thinking about new Bose QuietComfort or Jabra Elite 8 or 10. If lack of multipoint is not a problem get Samsung Buds. BTW Buds FE are really close to Buds Pro 2/3

I have a pair of Gen1 Samsung Galaxy buds Pro that I've had since maybe 2020. I've dropped them into water, stuck them in the washer and dryer, and taken them to the gym dozens of times and they're still working. I will say I don't think I've used them and chalk at the same time though. I can't speak for the later generations but I definitely recommend the Gen1s if you can find them.

I found the mic quality was pretty bad too. So I went with the bud pros also.

If the battery is still ok after 2 years then its not "heavy use"...except for the the old buds + because those had a battery life of 10+ hours...the buds pro and first galaxy buds had worn out battery within 2 years ...which was great because i got new ones under warranty. The buds+ batterylife was really special...

Anything with multipoint I guess?  I have iPhone and have used Galaxy Buds Pro and a few Sonys without any issue. You might prefer Sony though because of the app—Samsung Buds need a Samsung phone to manage eq and stuff, but outside of that they work fine out of the box and sound good to me

My Buds Pro after 4.5 years of significant use 😊 https://preview.redd.it/2sx0jt4qwhvf1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=430712a66d3a5088e9b5b4b82d8009dd29120d65

I have galaxy buds pro and galaxy buds 3 pro, both have good ANC, but the latter is far greater.

Same here, galaxy buds pro. Only advice is get a case for the charging case with an carabener or some other way to attach it to something. I lost two cases, but never once the earbuds funny enough.

Ive got the old Buds Pro which are still great and I've got the buds 3 coming soon hopefully. My best purchase for long listening time was a Bluetooth receiver that I use with my 20 year old BOSE AE2 headphones. This setup gets me around 36 hours of playback compared to 4 or 5 with the ear buds.

Yeah I use first gen Samsung galaxy buds pro and they work well with all apple devices, I did have to pair them and manually switch between devices, but it's only two clicks to swap device and they do it near instantly.

I have the og buds Pro

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, only because I have a Samsung Galaxy Phone and Watch. Before I got my car with bluetooth connection, I was using Plantronics Voyager Headset.

I just moved from the Galaxy Buds Pro to the Freebuds 5 and I can tell you they are way better for half the price

I had these and they're really really good, just not comfortable as the 2 for my ears And great work with keeping it like new!

I have the Galaxy buds pro and they last for 8-10 hours and I use them both as normal earbuds for my phone and when I'm gaming. Idk if gaming earbuds have different specifications but they work great for me. I also have many piercings and i wear them all day with no issue. The only possible issue is my conch piercing but with the right earring I dont even feel it. I bet if I had a tragus it would be annoying though idk what piercings you have.

The conch earring just needs to not have pointy edges and Im good tbh. They also charge pretty fast which I like.

Used Galaxy Buds Pro or Pro 2.

I started out with the OG Buds Pro and then switched to APP2, the ANC and sound is better but for me the biggest difference is simply comfort, it's insanely comfortable for using on hours on end in a single session, for me the Buds Pro were always a bit uncomfortable, but it's those long sessions which makes it unbearable.

In August, my Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro will turn 3 years old. They're still as new. They hold a charge very well (both the buds and the case), up to almost a week I think. The only downside is that they seem to have some proprietary silicone tips (they're not your typical round ones), and I lost one. Hoping I can order them at a samsung store, but if not, that wouldn't make them 'bifl' anymore. The noice cancelling is amazing, no remarks there. Though, I doubt they still sell them and I have no clue about the newer models.

Anc dont work great as the sample mics are cover my the liner of the helmet. But the earbud do work well as earplugs. The samsung bud pro was I used on track helmets that meet fim. Without speaker cutouts. The larger sized help keep them from moving g around and have the better hold against the helmet liner.

I had the pro 1 and it work well. Have not try pro 3 sice i switch to iphone and air pod pros.

Noise canceling ear buds act more like ear plugs than noise cancelling. As the sampling mics are blocked so the buds do not send the proper canceling sound wave. But as they do act as earplugs. They do reduce noise. The bad thing with earbug is they can fall out of poistion and be ome super annoying that you need to stop and re insert them. And they do fall out when removing the helmet. Especially full face one. Before good quality bluetooth comm, i use sameaung buds. And they hit the ground on numerous occasions. I have never looked back since going with bluetooth comm kits. My airpod and samsung bud pro are for when I am off the bike. And they last way longer then. 14 hr vs 3 before you need to put the buds back in the case for charging

I use the new Samsung pro. Good noise cancelling and sit flush with your ear. When I use my Sena I plug in Shure 215's.

I have these and the Galaxy Buds Pro. While I like the Buds sound profile more, the AirPods are just stellar at everything else, plus they do still sound great. The noise cancelation and transparency are top-notch. They've been great for walks and workouts, as well as air travel.

I have the Galaxy Buds Pro and 3Buds Pro. And have Sony XM5 (overear) Ive had skull candy, bose, JBL, Airpods, and beats before. Sony, Bose, and Beats will have better sound engineering for sure out of the box. With better sound after tuning. I think in that order. Bose is very bass heavy while Sony is tuned better for all frequencies. Then from there you can tune it yourself with the equalizer. Galaxy buds sound is decent at best out of the box. But after some tuning, I got tjem pretty close to my Sonys. But ANC is much better on the Sonys. In terms of device compatibility, connectivity, and App, Samsung all the way. Comfort, I'd give it to Samsung. Overall, i love my Galaxy Buds and Buds3. I do recommend them as a top performer for earbuds. However, take the time to tune the audio for best results. If you don't care about the features and device compatibility and app, I'd vote Sony. Their audio engineering and ANC are top notch. But their app sucks. I use headphones/earbuds 8+hours a day on average. So sound, comfort, and compatibility are top things from me. Samsung has it all. With the exception of sound which will require some tuning to get that sound you want. ANC is good enough that the average person won't tell the difference. I don't use headphones for phone calls. I don't like it. So no comment there.

I have been rocking my samsung buds pro for years, it even lasted after getting washed in the washing machine!

I'm using the Galaxy buds pro, the audio quality is insane but the comfort is not great after a few hours. If you want, go for some Galdy buds 2 pro or 3 Pro.

Never had a different pair of AirPods other than the Pro 2 but the ones I had from other brands with silicone tips pushed themselves out of my narrow ear canal very easily (Samsung Buds pro, Redmi buds 5, Soundcore p20i). The AirPods Pro 2 are the best I’ve had and they stay the longest comparing to the others.

I've got the first gen buds pro and Sony WH-1000XM4 (which is still a great option and cheaper than the new editions). Both come with noise cancellation.

Get some fitted covers for them. I have galaxy pro buds, and the sound is awesome, but the fit isn't fantastic for combat sports. Some cheap neon covers fixed all the issues I've had, they're more comfortable too.

I recently lost my Samsung Buds Pro, and I forgot to register it with Samsung SmartThings which helps with the last location of earbuds. I have seen the review's of oneplus buds 3 pro and it's looks impressive, I just want to know how does "Find my earbud" feature works? Does it need to be connected to find it? Bcz that will make it uselss imo

Samsung pro buds. These things have been used extensively everyday for three years and still work great. Have great battery life.

I ended up with Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, and they have adjustable "Ambient Sound," which allows you to change the volume of outside noise, whether playing media or not. This is obviously not unique to my earbuds, and I've had them for a few years, but they've held up very well.

Don't buy the original pros, they have a oval earbud design that's just bad fit wise. They are bulb shaped and not great for the majority of ears, I have average ear size and they just did not sit well. The eartip on the right bud also came loose overtime, which wouldn't be an issue with a round bud but in this case it means it detaches. Newer earbuds are the way to go, the newer pixel buds pro 2/3? have a rubber wingtip which should be superior for fit.

I've tried the Galaxy bud pros 1-3 on the deck and they all seem to be pretty smooth in terms of audio performance. You may need to use a phone to update them to the newedt firmware, but overall they sound good and there seems to be minimal lag.

I upgraded from buds pro 1 to bose ultra open earphones miles getting and my ears don't hurt anymore

Is it just me who thinks the Buds2 Pro are better in every way than the Buds Pro? I own 2 pairs of the OG pro, and I think the sound quality is not as good as the 2s, and I love the way that the 2s fit snugly inside my ear.

My galaxy buds pro work pretty well they been my daily work beaters going on 4 years now, no problems so far!

Lol found this post and I'm literally in the same situation. Those buds have been the only ones to have ever stayed in my ear. I'm currently using Galaxy Buds Pro, but like I'm constantly just pushing them back into my ear. Haven't found a replacement tip that works any better. I was thinking maybe the new version (Galaxy buds 3 Pro) would fit better (they have a different design), but like I really wish there was a tip or way to have the ones I got work for my ears without falling out. Anyway if you ever figure out a good replacement wireless pair, let me know please. Unsure if I'll fork over the money for the version 3s (if they are going to slip out like these its a waste of money).

The three that are actually approved by Amazon do not have mics. There are models of the same brand with mics, but they are different colors (as far as I could tell) and aren't approved. I feel the same way about the mic as I do people talking; as long as people are working, idgaf. Amazon is probably worried about the distraction; to many people can't walk and chew gum at the same time. My favorite argument is my personal headphones can provide better hearing protection while still allowing me to hear what's going on around me. I've had managers trying to get my attention with the Amazon headphones and I couldn't hear shit. Meanwhile, I've been around heavy machines and I can hear the person more than the machine. (Galaxy Buds, ANC. Pros and FE)

I had these before my Bose qc 2s. The Bose are better in sound and noise cancellation, but bulkier and have more pieces that can fail. After losing one of the rubber guards it took about two weeks for the plastic casing to separate. I missed having my galaxy buds, their fit was great for me but I lost them and replaced them with far less comfortable galaxy pro 2s My biggest issue with the Bose was size as I fall asleep with earbuds in frequently. Pixel buds pro 2 while having slightly less noise cancellation are great for that with their extremely small size.

I didn’t like the galaxy buds pro, they were uncomfortable. I’m happy with the pixels and keeping my Bose as a backup.

Ive used most brands like Apple, skullcandy, bose, beats, Jabra, random cheap ones. First I will say that apple, skullcandy, and jabra have all randomly broken or stopped working. My #1 for quality, price, and features goes to Samsung galaxy pros. The hear through, ANC, and adaptability how they quiet down when I talk makes them my favorite. Every single other brand has some problem. The jabras were my favorite but 4 of 4 randomly stopped working same as skullcandy.

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.

I usually use my Samsung pros. I popped them in expecting to hear latency but they synced pretty well with the steam deck.

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 👀

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)

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.

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.
