Sarah (7798 KP) rated Samsung Galaxy Buds in Tech

They look fantastic. From the small pill box shaped container to the headphone, they look sleek and stylish and are fairly small too. They're simple to set up - as soon as I opened them, my phone recognised them and linked them straight away, so quickly done. And the even recognise when you've put them in your ears! The Samsung Wearables app is a great tool to be able to check the battery on the headphones and change the equaliser and what actions the touch controls make. Sound quality is brilliant and they really do block out surrounding sound so well - I wore them at a busy gym (which had loud music on in the background), and couldn't hear anything other than myself. The ambient sound feature is a nice touch too for those occasions when you want to be able to hear things around you.
The fit of the headphones is surprisingly good. They come with 3 different sizes of rubber wings & tips so you can easily find a size to fit you, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that once these are in my ear, I didn't have to keep pushing them in to stop them from falling out. In fact I used these at the gym and whilst out and about, and I never once had them fall out like standard headphones do. And if they do fall out or you lose one, theres a 'find my bud' feature that will help locate them (assuming they havent got too far!).
They aren't perfect though. The touch pad controls are a little temperamental. This could be due to a novice user, or just how it is. Also the positioning of the headphones and touchpads means if you like to lie on your side and listen to music in bed, it could be difficult. And the other slight issue is the battery life. Combined charge between the headphones & pod is around 13 hours, which isn't a lot. Although I'm probably only moaning because it means it's another piece of tech that I have to remember to charge.
These are only very slight niggles though. These are by far the best headphones I've ever owned - great sound quality, intuitive, great size and very functional. I'll never go back to wearing wired headphones again.
