With a plethora of great features, six hours of battery life, and a fantastic $129 list price, the Galaxy Buds are currently the most compelling true wireless earbuds out there. The closest competitors to the Galaxy Buds — Apple’s AirPods and Jabra’s Elite Active 65t — both come with steeper sticker...

Although their sound quality doesn't wow, the Galaxy Buds are certainly worth considering if you're a Samsung Galaxy or Android phone owner.

These compact, lightweight noise-isolating true wireless earphones should fit most ears securely. They sound decent, battery life is good (around 6 hours at moderate volume levels) and their compact charging case offers USB-C wired and wireless charging.

Bass isn't all that deep; charging case only delivers a little more than one full charge; certain features only work with Android phones.

After two weeks, I don't want to give up the Galaxy Buds. The Bluetooth in-ear headphones are worth every penny of their price if you are looking for such headphones. Large headphones are hardly suitable for sports, especially running or cycling, where "true wireless" fits much better.

Comfortable fit, Great sound, Wireless charging, Good battery life

Poor voice quality when making phone calls, Battery in case could be bigger

When I was in high school, shopping for new earphones with a single £20 note as my budget, I used to dream of earbuds without the wire. It wasn’t a complicated fantasy, just my ultra basic Sony buds sans fil , as the French would put it.

Light, discreet, comfortable design, Legit six-hour battery life, Tiny case with wireless charging, Better sound isolation than Apple’s AirPods

Dodgy connectivity, dodgy touch controls

If you have a Samsung or other Android phone, the Galaxy Buds offer easy connectivity, a comfortable fit, and a warm, bassy sound. If you don’t, you may miss out on some cool extra features offered by the Samsung Galaxy wearables app.

The Galaxy Buds aim to entice true wireless earphone buyers by offering a discrete, gym-ready design and wireless charging. But with so many competing sets around, has Samsung done enough?

Great fit, Discrete design, PowerShare will be useful for Galaxy S10 owners

Better sounding sets available, Prone to drop-outs

By stripping away the fitness-tracking smarts and focusing on the key features - namely battery life and comfort - Samsung has made a genuine AirPod contender at an even lower price point. Problem is the wireless connectivity isn't perfect.

Small and comfortable to wear, Case has wireless charging, Sound quality is decent for the money, Battery life for the category is great

Touch-sensitive panels take some getting used to, Only one extra charge from the case (not two), Bluetooth connectivity isn't always reliable

These sound incredible! They have a wide soundstage that really immerses you in your music. Battery life is superb, and the ability to charge them wirelessly, even from my phone, is crazy! These look sleek in black, they look, in my opinion, better than anything else available.

Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, Durable

I have a problem with earbuds in that I sweat a lot while working out, so most earbuds simply fall out after a while. The apple products fall out, as do the skull candy buds and several no-name knockoffs. So I got these based on word of mouth that they do not fall out.

I have been waiting on these since they first announced them! After receiving them I used them in the gym and they are amazingly great!! Sound quality is awesome as well as the earbuds themselves. They do not fall out of your ear while jogging or lifting weights. Best earbuds I have ever owned.

I love the black color, it is actually less noticeable than the white color

The galaxy buds are very easy to connect using the Samsung wear app. The settings are easy to use and understand. The battery life is excellent they often last me more then one day with medium usage. I'm not an audiophile but the sounds quality is great for me.

I had a chance to try these for an hour at the Samsung unpacked event. Amazing audio quality and very neat software features. Works with any Bluetooth comparable smartphone. Highly recommend. They look stylish too

Leaps and bounds above any other headphones I've used.

I just recieved my pair of galaxy buds today, and they sound amazing for what they're worth! I was initially very skeptical of the fit, because generally Samsung headphones hurt my ears and tend to fall out.

I bought these 6 weeks ago - from Day 1 the connectivity has been terrible (and only become worse), the sound quality poor, and when I speak on calls routinely I sound garbled and inaudible to other people on the call.
