Samsung Galaxy Buds review

The Samsung Galaxy Buds offer great sound, more than 5 hours of battery life and near-instantaneous pairing, all in a stylish, comfortable pair of buds.

If you own an Android device and are looking for comfortable, well-built truly wireless earbuds that sound decent and have a good battery life, get the Samsung Galaxy Buds. They have a versatile, balanced sound that lends itself well to music genres of all sorts, and those who don’t mind the fit of in-ears should find them comfortable enough to be suitable for longer listening sessions. Unfortunately, they have very bad wireless latency, so they’re not ideal for gaming or watching TV.

This is a classic AKG sound signature in an adorable and liberating little package. Clean and well-balanced, these Buds are perfect for those who listen to all kinds of genres. And I have to admit, it’s one of the best sounding true wireless earphones I’ve ever tested under $150.

The Galaxy Buds are a great integration of Samsung’s hardware and software teams, with just a few drawbacks. For $129 they sound good enough, they’ll complement your Galaxy S10 effortlessly, and they’re easy to carry around all the time. That’s a win for Samsung. But if you’re trying to be a little more discerning, it’s a mixed bag.

These in-ear music makers offer a hassle-free way to listen to your favourite tracks and their comfortable design and clever charging case all add to the appeal. Good battery life and the fact they link to almost any phone, including Apple devices, is also a big added bonus. There are some minor niggles including those annoying touch controls and these should be avoided if you want your ears to be rattled by deep bass.

If you have a Samsung or other Android phone, the Galaxy Buds offer easy connectivity, a comfortable fit, and a warm, bassy sound. If you don’t, you may miss out on some cool extra features offered by the Samsung Galaxy wearables app.

If you are planning to buy Samsung flagship devices then The Galaxy Buds qualify as compelling companion device you shouldn’t miss. There are a lot of positives here that tilt the decision in their favor. This time Samsung has managed to get most things right in terms of design, sound, comfort and certain quality-of-life features.

The Galaxy Buds are aimed at users who are looking for superior, truly wireless music listening experience. The audio quality is really good for its price, and wireless charging is an added bonus. If you want a good pair of truly wireless Bluetooth headphones, the Galaxy Buds should be in your list for under Rs 10,000 budget.

I wish I hadn’t encountered any connection hiccups and that the case held more than one extra charge, but other than that, I really enjoyed using the Galaxy Buds. Samsung has made a lot of improvements: They hold close to a six hour charge, they sound great (turn on Dynamic mode), play/pause controls are easy enough, calls sound fine, the case is pocketable, the buds are petite, and the fit is comfortably snug.

The Galaxy Buds offer better sound and fit than the AirPods, but if you're willing to look elsewhere then there are better performers available for a similar price.
