Reasons Why You Should Buy Them
The sleek, slim and all-plastic design of Samsung Galaxy Buds + comes in 6 color options: Black, White, Blue, Red, New Aura Blue and limited BTS edition with a unique purple charging case, and the earphones have sporadic purple splashes over with the BTS Logo on top
Great battery life of up to 11 hours on a single charge, an additional 11 hours with the charging case and also comes with the fast charging feature that offers 1 hour of playback with just 3 minutes of charging time
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus offer high-level call quality, audio heard through two external microphones and an internal one sounds great
The "Spotify" functionality allows you to directly access the service from earbuds through the Galaxy Wearables app
New dual-driver system, which is tuned by AKG, offers rich and warm sound quality with deep and consistent bass, well-balanced mid range and treble, better suited for pop and hip-hop music
Three different sizes of ear tips and optional wing tips keep the buds comfortably and securely in the ears during running or gym workouts
Built-in microphone and touch-sensitive controls to answer calls, music play/pause, skip tracks, adjust the volume levels, ambient mode on/off and connect with voice assistant of your phone or you can use two new home screen widgets to check battery level, on/off Ambient Sound mode or lock the touchpad
Dedicated Galaxy Wearables app for pairing earbuds with your smartphone, select EQ presets, adjust Ambient Noise settings, monitor battery life and connection status, configure touch-pad options, toggle audio notifications, install software updates, find my earbuds and select voice assistant
“Ambient Aware” mode lets you keep an ear open for external announcements without removing the earbuds
Multipoint Bluetooth connectivity of Samsung buds allows you to seamlessly switch between two devices to enjoy music and receive phone calls
The case can be charged either wirelessly using a charging mat compatible with Qi standard, or using a Type-C cord
Apart from AAC, SBC and Samsung's scalable codec support, the Bluetooth 5.0 delivers seamless connectivity and superior audio quality
Reasons Why You Should Avoid Them
Samsung Galaxy Buds+ are almost indistinguishable from last year's model, without any visual change, it is very hard to tell the difference
Bluetooth connectivity is still not very reliable (this was the problem with the first-generation model as well), drops the signal and skips the tracks occasionally as you walk through the busy streets
The "Spotify" functionality, which allows you to access songs directly from the earbuds, works with Android phones, but not with iphones
Samsung Galaxy Buds+ plus True Wireless Earbuds do not have Active Noise cancellation to filter unwanted external sounds, a feature now quite common in high-end true wireless models
While the plastic construction saves weight, it is extremely cheap compared to other true wireless headphones in the similar price range
Ambient mode, which allows you to keep your ears open for external announcements, works with Samsung phones, but not with iPhones
Built-in proximity sensor pauses the music when you remove earbuds, but do not automatically resume after putting them back in your ears
Only IPX2 water-resistance rating, whereas competitors such as Jaybird offer completely waterproof models in the same price range
Unlike the Apple Airpod case, which contains an additional 19 hours of juice, the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ Black case only supports one additional 11-hour charge
No support for superior Bluetooth codec such as aptX, aptX Low Latency, LDAC and Qualcomm's True Wireless Stereo Plus
Highlights
Premium sound by AKG delivers superb dynamic range and exceptional sound accuracy
Perfect fit headphones to insulate you from annoying noises, so you can focus on what you want
Ambient Aware mode lets you filter in some of the outside world to be more in-tune with your environment
Included three adjustable silicone ear and wing tip sizes to ensure a comfortable fit
Up to 11 hours of non-stop music on a single charge
Put your Galaxy Buds+ in the wireless charging case and get almost 11 hours of additional music playback
A dedicated internal microphone and two external microphones ensure loud and clear call quality, even in noisy locations
Pause your Spotify playlist, answer calls and adjust volume levels with a tap
Switch seamlessly between two paired devices at once
Thanks to IPX2, Galaxy Buds+ can handle a light drizzle, a little sweat and even accidental spillage
