Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus are the company’s latest true wireless earbuds. Compared to the original Galaxy Buds, they have improved sound quality and a much longer 11-hour battery life. They’re also far better at voice calls.

Has Samsung made enough improvements for you to buy the Galaxy Buds Plus?
For me, battery replacement is a must. AirPods are maybe better, but they won’t last after battery will deteriorate. That’s a no go for me after my first AirPods became unusable after two years. I don’t understand why reviewers don’t pay attention to that detail. I understand that companies have a profit from selling a large amount of these, which will end up in a dumpster, but reviewers should praise repairable buds, not only how they sound when they are new.
There is a lag while gaming on a non samsung phone.
what an awesome video!
I had the original buds, they developed an issue and I contacted samsung support, to make up for the whole thing they sent me the buds plus, best audio experience I’ve ever had.
This vs the original AirPods using on iPhone?
I got the buds+ for the repairable aspects
Yeah
I got these for my iPhone se 2 simply because of the fact that I can’t afford AirPod pros (cause I’m broke😭)and I just really don’t like the original AirPods they’re not good for activities or working out especially for me cause they just don’t fit my ears the don’t seal of outside noise they’re sound quality good but for the price not as good as they could be so I’m like whatever people can make fun of me for using Samsung earbuds on an iPhone
Yea ik it’s a very long comment lol
There was nothing wrong with the first galaxy buds
3:25 I thought this was normal audio and that you hadn’t shown the quality yet
Samsung made truly wireless buds before the galaxy buds
@the verge they conect to any year phone right asking cus my phone is a 2018 a7
Since the buds are old now
They lowered on price
Haven’t had drops or disconnects on my iPhone SE 2020 with the Galaxy Buds+
will ambient sound settingsin wearable app work with android phone or just work in Samsung phone
Must know about earbuds if you use Discord/Zoom or internet calls often:
There is a major major flaw in these earbuds that I haven’t seen a single reviewer mention and that I wish I’d known about before I bought them.
This is a common flaw in all bluetooth earphones and headphones I’ve discovered, and there is no solution for it. Bluetooth audio devices have profiles known as codecs that control sound quality: the high quality sound codec is called AAC and the lower quality sound codec SBO/SCO. When listening with the earbuds, the active codec is AAC, which sounds fantastic.
However under certain circumstances the earphones drop down to SBO/SCO, which is distorted and sounds terrible. One of these circumstances is if you use the mic on any VOIP apps or internet calls or anything that requires using the mic (discord, skype, zoom, recording an audio etc.). (Doesn’t apply to regular phonecalls though).
If you join an internet call using your earbuds mic, they drop down in quality MASSIVELY: your audio becomes horribly distorted and so is the sound being transmitted from your mic.
The only ‘solution’ is to change your sound input to your laptop or computer’s built in microphone, which usually isn’t very good.
If you don’t join internet calls often or have a strong laptop microphone, this problem won’t affect you.
But for someone who is constantly on internet calls or who has to record audios, this is a huge let down.
There are some apps that are made to force your earbuds to use AAC but none have worked for me sadly.
I wish reviewers would discuss this major flaw in the earbuds or in bluetooth devices in general so people don’t make the mistake of buying them without knowing like I did.
Everything else about these though, from sound to comfort to battery is fantastic.
Does it have noise cancelling?
For me the buds are almost always at 100% battery. I can barely make them go below 70%. Is this normal?
Always keep them in the case too
Meanwhile Galaxy Buds measured better than the Buds+ for sound quality.
The originals werent a first attempt… They had the icon and gear iconx… But they were bad…
Yup they’ve done enough. Just ordered some
I have buds plus with Note 20 ultra. In Touch and hold, I cant change Bixby to google assistant. Someone help, please…
Issue with them is that right bud losing power 30% faster than left one. Not cool samsung, not cool.…
Are these still worth buying in 2021? Im getting them for 70$
Works great on my I phone 8+
Works fine on my I phone 8
I love samsung
You said the jarrah are “boomy” as it was a good thing. “Boomy” means out of control bass resonance and is very much undesirable.
Terrible sound quality
Just bought them on sale for $80 on Amazon. They were like $150 a year ago
where’s Becca?
My wife just bought me a pair of these…looking forward to trying them out as soon as they’re fully charged ! Great review!!!
