Samsung - Galaxy Buds+ (Plus)

My buds+ are done for so you must be gentle haha

I use buds+ going on 5 years, amazing sound and passive noise cancelling from the seal. Almost dead so will go AirPods Pro 3 as soon as they drop

I upgraded from the Buds Plus to the Buds Pro 2 as they hurt my ears super badly & didn't stay at all. Very poor fit. Do u think the fit is better than the Buds 2 pro?

No bro you have to understand that brunching randoms cheering and yelling at you for the gram is the only way to obtain marathon running nirvana bro; otherwise, if you hear even one note of your music, you didn't actually run the marathon bro come on bro I'd second Shokz since they're purpose built for this type of thing, Powerbeats Pro for still hearing some crowd and runners but more of your music, and Samsung Buds+ for "I'm running to my jams and ignoring the crowd" bc they last 10 hours even with noise canceling, which should cover the majority of people

QCY Melo Buds Pro , ANC, ENC, LDAC, 46DB adaptive ANC, 6-Mic ENC, 5.4 blue tooth and much much more for $35.99 on Amazon cyber Monday deal. I got a set of Samsung buds plus gifted to me, but never had any before that nor was I a big headphone person, I use them on and off here and there, I recently came across them again while digging through my things and started to use them more, learn about codecs, etc Searching for earbuds to buy is overwhelming, there's a million of them, they all say this they all say that they all sound like they're amazing lol I started doing some digging and learned about codecs and didn't have much to spend, around 50 bucks was my range but I wanted something with possibly high-res audio and these seem to fit the bill, lots of good reviews, I read the reviews on AliExpress as well (, much cheaper there by the way if you want to wait for shipping,) reviews seemed good ETC I got them the next day through Amazon and they are amazing, to say that there is no difference between LDAC and AAC. Is a ridiculous statement, I don't know if it's how these things are tuned or what but listening to music on tidal or flac songs, etc The difference is mind-blowing between the AAC codec, I can switch between the two on the melo buds and it's very different. Same with the Samsung buds, they work great and the ambient sound is like a hearing aid on steroids with the Samsungs lol but the transparency settings on the melon it's just as good, the range on these QCY buds is unbelievable as well, I understand yet the Samsung buds are old and only 5.0 Bluetooth, but for the price of these with the opportunity to listen to high-res audio plus all the other settings capabilities they are unbelievable for the money. Also with it being winner I wear a face mask over my earbuds along with a hat and a hood and when people call me and I'm out and about on a e scooter nobody ever complains about hearing me with all that covered over the buds lol Trust me for the price, I thought they would be okay plus the reviews pointed to them being well and dandy, but I mean they sound as good as buds that are $200 plus seriously.

I've been using Galaxy Buds + for many years and they have killer battery life features that make them easy to use and switch between devices easily, unlike some ear buds.

Galaxy buds fe have a wing that keep mine in my ears super well and are the most comfortable. I bought these cuz i used to have just buds+ and those were the dame design and i LOVED them but cant get them anymore. These have like, never, fallen out of my ears. I used to work walking around a lot and weird movements printing shirts, now i do custodial work. I dont think they're worth the 100$ price though, got mine for like 70$. You a runner tho so id consider something with the arching wing around your ear, i cant do those cuz i wear glasses and it bothers me. If you relate to that then i totally reccomend the buds FE or something similar with the wing inside the ear.

My job gave me Sony XM5s that I used for a while, but after ending up in meetings for weeks on end they were uncomfortable, before that it was maybe an hour a day I'd wear them and I've never been a fan of over ear headphones. I ended up switching to my Galaxy Buds+ that I've had for like 4 years now and it's a lot nicer

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've used a few different ones but the one I personally own is the old Buds Plus from way back.

Samsung Galaxy Buds+. They work great with my 8pro. They worked great with my 6pro as well. The pixel buds that I got with my 6 would disconnect while I run. so I stopped using them. I got the latest ones like 4 months ago. Same issue. They disconnect often. Not sure why both sets of pixel buds disco all the time. But the samsung ones work perfectly. :(

I can only provide my personal experience. I bought the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ when they first came out years ago. I've used them literally just about every day since. The batteries aren't as good as they once were, but still a couple hours every day for sure. I'm sure they aren't available for purchase anymore, and I'm not sure what models they currently sell. I would stock up on Buds+ if I could.

Beats flex, Samsung buds plus "no noise canceling but work well". I ride harley and sportbike

While I use my xm5's for workouts and just about everything, I don't like them for running and still use my old galaxy buds plus for that purpose.

My galaxy buds + are my daily drivers (they're damn good for the price), but this will be more for at home when I'm laying in bed and I absolutely want to lose myself in every detail of the sound. GB+s are great, but at the end of the day, they're still wireless earbuds, and as such they'll never be as good as wired headphones.

Wireless transmission often introduces compression/signal degradation (also latency, but that's less important if you're just listening to music unless timing is somehow a big deal). For most people, it isn't a huge deal, they can hear the song reasonably well, and that's generally all they care about. If you're spending on better quality audio gear, (and lossless audio recordings) you're listening for all the details and better audio balance, things that might get glossed over in compression. A photography comparison might be shooting JPEG files vs. shooting RAW. JPEGs can be really good, but you can do a lot more with RAW files without fucking the image up. Virtually every professional photographer in the world will work from RAW files when they do their editing. Spotify and My Galaxy Buds + are my daily drivers, and they do the job nicely for everyday listening. What I'm doing here is for when it's the end of the day and I'm laying in bed and want to be absolutely blown away by what I'm listening to, both in terms of breadth of sound and clarity.

galaxy buds plus for comfort pixel buds pro 2 for taking advantage of full functionality (I love the volume control - I will not go back to headphones where I can't do that)

I've been running outside with Buds Plus for a few years

Samsung buds plus

I have galaxy buds + since 2020. I never had a single problem and still running great to this day

Earbuds actually suck ass bro i had them in my case and they were still connected 20 minutes ago the sound quality was cutting too. I cant enter a call with them in bc the mic doesnt turn on. The battery is always dead even if i charged it. They hurt my ears and i cant have them in for nore than 30 minutes without my ears hurting I would nit recommend them at all. My galaxy buds + are 30x better than these and they have been dropped chewed on... TWICE. And soaked. And they work like they did when i first bought them

It's totally crap imho. I have both Buds plus and Buds 2 Pro. The Plus has a way better passive ANC than the 2 pro acitve + passive combined. It's really annoying to use the 2 pro on commercial flights or on a bike for example where there's a constant noise. Buds Plus: \+ Battery \+ Better passive ANC Buds 2 pro: \+ Slightly better audio quality \+ Somewhat comfortable \- Battery is a joke (sometimes I have nearly all day long meetings, I have to charge the buds at least once)

Samsung Galaxy Buds+ Still rocking them since the pandemic

If you prefer buds to "sticks"/stems then but ANC is important I'd recommend the samsung buds FE. As far as battery life I don't think any of them beat Buds + but no noise cancelation other than the fit itself and turning off ambient noise.

Fitment in the ear is subpar at best, I liked how deep the buds+ went into my ear, and they really made a good seal. The noise canceling is terrible, I used to use my Bud+ while I worked construction, I could use powertools and listen to music, and they worked fantastically. The Bud 3 Pros clip, they don't block out nearly anything compared to the others. I am severely disappointed in these earbuds and would recommend against them if you want some real noise canceling. The sound quality is really good and I like the controls.

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.

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 Samsung Buds Plus. Are these better?

Still using Galaxy Buds plus. They are almost 5 years old and still give great battery life, the wing tips make them so comfortable. I've already got a pair of FE buds on standby, my favourite dressing for earbuds.

Thank you for the review! I was curious about the sleep comfort which seems niche for reviewers to cover. I currently use the buds+ and they already hurt when I sleep on the side but it works if I sleep in the right position. Placed my order though so hopefully the sound quality is a big upgrade

I've seen a lot of people recommending SM true wireless 4 and Denon is an unknown brand for me. I want a balance between good sound, good ANC and good quality in calls, I'm a casual user but if I pay for a product I want it to be worth the price. My current ear buds are the galaxy buds + and I've been with them for years without any problem, I don't use active anc but I'd like to try it, I don't need multi point and I just wanted to update them cause now I'm listening to more music and I wanted something to get attached to for another long time and as I said in the post I'd like something balanced with good quality, a decent anc and a normal quality for calls cause I don't want to look like a robot on calls. With that info what would you recommend me? Still the same? Let me know. !thanks ! thanks or thanks idk how to type it to make you receive the omega point 🥴

had the buds + for 4 years, then the buds 2 pro, then the buds3 pro. loved the buds+ decent sound quality but the battery was crap. the buds 2 pro was better but i did not like the ear fit. the bus3 pro has improved all the previous issues.

P8P user. I use some old Samsung Galaxy buds+ from 2020 as I have them already and cant justify buying new Pixel buds. I dont use ear buds very often, just maybe a couple of times a month. The Galaxy buds are excellent, no issues at all.

I actually have a pair of the plus and a pair of the (wannabe apple)2. I keep coming back to this form factor. Have even bought replacement earbuds on ebay.

Until now, the only wireless buds that I would highly recommend for sound quality will always be the Galaxy Buds line, with the pros being the best one. Sound quality out of the box is definitely the best and no eq is necessary. A few exceptions would be the buds live when it comes to sound since it has the weirdest shape and fit that probably affect the lower end of the frequency. Bonus point if you use a samsung phone since that will enable the proprietary SSC codec from samsung.

I just sent one of my buds+ through the wash and need to replace and wondering this same thing... according to soundguys.com the XM5s are the best earbuds available. Did you end up buying any?

I've had two different generations of Galaxy Buds (the Buds+ and then the Buds 2) and both have been incredibly comfortable I wear both for entire shifts at work and they are wonderful. The buds 2 have a slightly shorter better life (but better all around) but they charge up a lot faster from the case than the older style

I still use the Galaxy Buds+. I did research with Grok and it looks like the Anker Liberty 4 Pro are the next best option at the best price.

Would be perfect for me if they hadn’t excluded wireless charging. I’m still using the Galaxy buds plus.

Been using my galaxy buds+ since 2018

Any model of Samsung earbuds will be cheaper and sound better than most other options in their competitors. Used a pair of the go Samsung buds+ my first tour, absolutely perfect. Second tour I \*lost those earbuds in the airport on the way to spring training\*...replaced with Samsung buds fe which aren't as good but did perfectly fine. basically, you want something with good noise cancellation but isn't too expensive. I wouldn't spend over $100 on a pair. remember that sometimes the noise you want to block out will be drums lol, so I wouldn't go \*too\* cheap.

The Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 or 3 is a great choice with a balance of performance and price. If you're willing to stretch your budget slightly, the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ often offer great sound quality and battery life.

Samsung Buds Plus for 5 years.

For me, Samsung Galaxy Buds + have done a very decent job for me over the past years. These have excellent sound, however they don't have ANC. They have a very good transparency mode and decent battery life. If you aim higher, soundcore is your friend. If you aim cheaper, you can get these for under 100€. They have a percect Harman curve.

I use my old Galaxy Buds+, probably the best pair of earbuds/headphones that I've ever owned

Can you recommend any buds that have some kind of locking wing or whatever for the ear? I have tried pixel buds A when I got the 6 pro (ok but not great), galaxy buds plus (current favorite but getting pretty old), air pods pro (falls right out of my ear if I move), JLab with the ears hooks (trash microphone).

Just bought JBL Beam 3 and i'm really satisfied with it. I also have the Galaxy buds+, I find that the JBL sits better in my ears and its lighter

recently switched from galaxy buds+ to oneplus buds 3 pro. Difference is negligible in sound quality but features on the oneplus are so much better.

i used galaxy buds+ for a few years, use for jogging as well then i got the buds 2. still using it 2 years later. bought it for rm199 from a reputable shopee seller you can check this link, i see got buds 3 for rm220...maybe will reduce to below 200 for 7.7 sale good luck.

My samsung buds plus still chilling. I use it for gym about 1hr a day, usually recharge them every week. Still, there are many cases of earplugs die after a few months. Honestly, buying electronics is like buying lottery. If you are lucky, they will last.

So I've used Galaxy Buds Plus previously. Then switched to Anker Soundcore Liberty 4s, and honestly loves them: sound, ANC, build and everything. Only issue I faced with them is that 1.5 years down the line, one earbud is not charging properly in the case. Since they're out of the 1 year warranty, and there's no repairability, that effectively means that I either keep using one earbud, or buy a new one. Super frustrating issue because the other earbud and case are perfectly fine. After this experience, I'm trying to find a balance of premium quality, longevity, and half decent support in Pakistan. Because yes, on paper, I wouldn't need to ask this question. Best wireless earbuds of them all? Sony WF-1000XM4s. But spending 50k on a pair of buds that don't get any support here isn't really the smartest move. Been considering Awaaz Signature. Since local so maybe decent support? Not considering Zero because they feel pretty cheap and flashy with more thought in marketing and celeb deals than the actual product. I love Soundcore and would go back any day, but I just do not want to spend 20-30k and have to replace them in a year or two again Any good/bad experiences with brands, or any input at all would be appreciated!

Samsung is good, but I use a Pixel and I heard there are 1 or 2 features that are locked to Galaxy phones on the Samsung buds. I don't think they're big features but I really dislike the concept of something that I pay for having features gatekept from me. That's why I've moved away from Samsung buds after having used the Buds Plus a few years ago.

I have the Buds+, Buds 2 Pro, Buds FE, and Apple Airpods Max. Considering affordability, fit, noise cancellation, and sound , I use my Buds FE the most. They fit just like the Buds+ from ages ago but have noise cancellation that I can take with me to the gym or on the plane and feel at peace. The Buds 2 Pro is nice for the features and colors, but the fit sucks, IMO. The Buds+ are lovely but off the market and without noise cancellation. And the Airpods Max are the best for sound but over the ear, way more expensive, and not as intuitive, connection wise, for androids. So I'd go with the Buds FE! Can't comment on the new Buds 3 but I have heard those are good too.

Budget line, samsung buds+/FE. Best anc/ambient, bose ultra/quietcomfort gen2 earbuds.

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.
