Samsung Galaxy Buds+ Review

Samsung's Galaxy Buds+ may have had to share stage-time with the Galaxy S20 series and the Galaxy Z Flip at Unpacked 2019, but that's not to say the updated wireless earbuds weren't worth attention. Follow-up to last year's well-received Galaxy Buds ,...

Audio quality noticeably improved ; In-call audio much better ; Battery life is excellent ; iOS app gives iPhone users more features

Still no active noise cancelation ; IPX2 water-resistance rating is low ; Touch controls can be finicky

Compact, lightweight construction. Companion app with EQ presets. Sturdy build quality. Impressive 13.5-hour battery life. Alright microphone noise handling capability. Well-balanced sound profile is well-suited for a wide variety of content and...

Closed-off soundstage. High audio latency on PC. Only one additional charge from charging case. Mediocre microphone recording quality. Hard-to-use control scheme. No multi-device pairing capability.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds+ are good for neutral sound. Their out-of-the-box sound profile is extremely well-balanced and neutral-sounding, so they should suit different genres. Unfortunately, their passive soundstage is bad, meaning their sound seems to...

Samsung Galaxy Buds+ review: Samsung nailed it

The Samsung ecosystem is vast, and the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ aren't the first earbuds made by the company, but they are the ones that nailed it.

Samsung really worked on the sound signature and it shows ; Really solid design and build quality ; Really good fit and sound isolation ; Easy to setup and use ; Useful app and software, great sound options ; Competitive battery life ; Outstanding...

The black case is a fingerprint magnet and it looks awful when it has fingerprints all over it ; I do wish the EQ settings had a custom option

The Samsung Galaxy Buds+ have the following features and specifications: I have reviewed a ton of TWS earbuds and I own several I’ve yet to review. I’m not going to say that the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ are the best out there, they’re probably not. What I...

Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus Review

The Samsung Galaxy Buds+ would be a great choice if $150 is all you have to spend on a pair of true wireless earphones. The sound quality is vary good, and bigger batteries put these among the earbuds with best battery life you can buy today.

Very long battery life; Good sound quality; Ambient Aware works well; Light and comfortable; Wireless charging case is convenient; Very strong connection and range

Not great for phone calls; Touch controls aren't comfortable; No high water-resistance rating (only sweat-resistant)
