Sound Canceling Works!

I've been using an older set of Bose Headsets since sometime around 2014. It's the model that doesn't cover the ear, but it was always great a canceling noise, and the sound quality while watching movies on my tablet was great. The headset was wired, and it came with 2 batteries and a plug-in wall charging device. They were used, but high quality, noise canceling and when the ear muff pleather goes bad, you can replace them easily. It's been a tank for me, but they were bulky to pack when you're trying to travel lite with a carry-on and personal item. Additionally, I was ready for a wireless bluetooth solution. I will also preface that this is not my first attempt at noise canceling earbuds, I had purchased an "Amazon" off brand, on sale $49 set a couple of years back, and perhaps I didn't do something right when using them, but I just felt they plugged my ears, more so then it actually having a Noise Canceling feature (there's a difference, I'll get to that). I was getting ready for a New York trip where I needed to consolidate as much space as possible, because in this particular occasion I had a carry-on and a personal item. So, I ran across, a deal where the olive color SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds 2 were going just shy of $99. Based off the reviews, it appeared to get the job done, albeit I was still a bit skeptical since the price was excellent, and I thought simply plugging the ear with a bud and filling it with music or sounds from a movie was good enough to call it noise canceling. Result? I was pleasantly surprise how great these things were, there's a bit of trick to the ear buds when you don't have actual buttons to push, but it's a simple as holding your finger on the ear bud for a period of time turns on and off the noise canceling feature, and tapping the ear bud pauses it. And yes, I could tell the difference when I used the noise canceling feature, and it was freaking great in my opinion. I only used to watch a television series on my Amazon Fire Tablet, but it was fantastic, I have absolutely no complaints for the time I used it on the trip. Until I make a significantly longer trip (2 hrs for me to get to NY), I will not know how good the battery life is, or how long this product will last overall, but for $100, I highly recommend this product if you want a lean ear bud that noise cancels and sounds great watching movies and/or tv shows are your tablet.

new to wireless earbuds, worth the purchase for me

I bought these because i got a new phone recently (Samsung Galaxy flip 3), and since it doesnt have a normal headphone jack, i bought an adapter and used it until i could purchase these. Mine were in a Sealed box, so not opened like i saw some say on here. they will need to be charged once you get them, or at least mine were. i synched them to my phone and saw the buds were at 3% and the case 39%. you will need the app Samsung Wear, which was preinstalled on my phone so no biggie, to use them i believe. FIT: They fit in my ears just fine out of the box, no playing, no having to swap the ear tips. you should place them in your ear so the insert is on the bottom, and the bulb upwards, gently guide it into your ear until it fits snugly. the Samsung Wear app also had a "Test the Fit" feature that said i had a good fit, so whatever works. Battery: I listened to music and played with them for about an hour, on an almost Max volume, and they only dropped about 10-15%, so easy 10 hours for me at minimum, which i wont ever listen to music that long so perfect for me. Sound: Sound quality is great, just as good as my old Skullcandy Headphones, if not better. found a good Equalizer for me was "Dynamic", had just the right sound for my tastes listening to Hard rock/Metal. Additional Features: The Noise Cancelling isnt total silence. It definitely lowers the outside volume by about half, but even still, listening to music just blots out whatever is left. The Ambient Sound feature does work, and it sounds like you're on a call with someone, however you will not hear anything listening to music loudly, i tested it by playing a Podcast video on my PC while listening to different levels. the music would have to be at a very quiet level to hear anything. so better to pause and unpause. The touch features i havent had any issue with as of yet. It doesnt have any buttons or anything like that, just the face of the earbuds. you tap against that to use touch features, and they CAN be turned off via Samsungs Wear app. Overall id give them a 5, since the Noise Cancellation/Ambient sound features arent too big of a dealbreaker for me. they are comfortable, great sound quality, and so convienient not having to bring Wired headphones where i go anymore.

In love with these!

I reluctantly purchased these after a different pair of earbuds I had died. I'm so glad I decided on these! Not only are they really pretty but they are, by far, the best earbuds I've ever used. Noise cancelling - they really are noise cancelling! I went on a road trip with my kids in the car and I wasn't able to hear their bickering or singing. It was glorious being able to submerse myself in a book. I'm not 100% sure if this is me imagining things but it seems as if there is a slight white noise produced right before audio starts. It's very minimal but it keeps outside noise from creeping in. What ya get and colors - the earbuds are a smooth, shiny lavender that match my Samsung watch and phone. The case came partially charged and is white. There is also a white USB cord. It came with 3 different sizes of ear pieces to perfect your sizing. The app - you'll need to download the Samsung Wearable app. The app allows you to keep track of how charged the case and each earbud is. There's noise and touch controls as well. When first setting up the app, it has you put the earbuds in your ears to determine if they fit ok. With the help of the app I found out that I needed two different sizes of ear pieces to get the best fit. I've mowed the lawn with them and despite sweating and doing a lot of moving, they stayed in without a problem. I've used them for about 3 hours consecutively and they played perfectly the whole time, never running out of charge. When I make calls, nobody has had trouble hearing me. I can stop or start music by simply tapping an earbud. These earbuds are worth every penny. If you're on the fence, get them because you won't regret it!

From Buds+ to Buds 2 and I love them!

I recently upgraded from the Galaxy Buds+ to the Galaxy Buds 2, and I’m thrilled with the difference. The new Galaxy Buds 2 have significantly enhanced my listening experience in several key ways. Sound Quality: The sound quality is noticeably improved with the Galaxy Buds 2. The bass is deeper and more powerful, and the overall audio clarity is superb. Whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or making calls, the sound is richer and more immersive. Active Noise Cancellation: The Galaxy Buds 2 come with active noise cancellation (ANC), which is a game-changer. It effectively reduces background noise, allowing me to focus better on what I’m listening to, whether I’m at home or on the go. Comfort and Fit: The fit of the Galaxy Buds 2 is more comfortable compared to the Galaxy Buds+. They come with multiple ear tip sizes, which helps achieve a better seal and more secure fit. I can wear them for longer periods without discomfort. Design and Build: The design of the Galaxy Buds 2 is sleeker and more modern. They’re lighter and more compact, making them less noticeable when worn. The improved build quality also gives them a more premium feel. Battery Life: While both models offer good battery life, the Galaxy Buds 2 provide a bit more playtime on a single charge, which is a nice bonus. Overall, the Galaxy Buds 2 have proven to be a fantastic upgrade from the Galaxy Buds+. The enhanced sound quality, effective noise cancellation, and more comfortable fit make them well worth the investment. If you’re considering an upgrade, I highly recommend making the switch!
