Samsung Galaxy Buds - 4.0 / 5
Slimmed down, with a nifty case
- Earbuds weigh 6g each, case weighs 40g Case measures 26.5 x 70 x 38.8mm Built-in wireless charging
Simple setup… if you have a Samsung
- Galaxy S10 showed up “nearby device” window Other phones require Wearable app
Slimmed feature list, but decent sound
- Simple dial-based EQ Notifications are read out “Find my earbuds” feature
Performance and battery
- Bluetooth 5.0 (LE) Up to 6hrs playback out of case A full charge in the case
To recap
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.
