Bass isn't all that deep
Charging case only delivers a little more than one full charge
Certain features only work with Android phones
Middling bass
Fiddly touch controls
We say The Samsung Galaxy Buds prove to be a fairly comfortable pair of decent wireless earbuds that offer a modicum of comfort
Fairly good performance and battery life though the fiddly touch controls take some get
Case only provides 1 full recharge
Touch controls require precise control
"Ambient sound" passthrough is useless
Poor mic intelligibility in loud scenarios
So-so charging case battery life
Not waterproof
Muffled call quality
Sound quality isn't great
App can be slow to load
Case battery life isn't the best
No pause on removal
Touch controls
But the bad kind
Bass-shy sound doesn't rise above average
Flaky Bluetooth connectivity
Poor microphone performance
Touch controls are fiddly
Ambient Sound feature leaves room for improvement
No high water-resistance rating
No aptX support
Only IPX2 waterresistance
Lacks internal storage
General volume is just a little too quiet
Abysmal regional pricing
Limited charge held in the case
Limited recharge from case alone
IPhone experience is less comprehensive
Touchpads are finicky
Average audio quality
Frustrating touch controls
On-board volume control requires sacrificing other features
