Samsung’s small but brilliant Galaxy Buds are designed to keep you listening for longer. That’s all thanks to Samsung’s smart design and innovative charging options.


Hours of fun, just minutes to charge

Galaxy Buds will let you play all your favourite songs for up to six hours on a single charge. They can be charged wirelessly and quickly on PowerShare compatible Galaxy devices, or Qi wireless chargers. 


No more background noise

Samsung's next-generation adaptive dual microphone technology is a huge selling point in these Galaxy Buds. This technology will virtually eliminate background noise. As Galaxy Buds are capable of recognising your surroundings, they can switch between inner and outer mics to keep unnecessary noise out of your most important conversations.


Superior sound

These earbuds have won rave reviews for their audio quality, which is all thanks to acoustic specialists AKG. They've tuned Galaxy Buds to deliver a rich, premium sound often associated with more expensive brands.


Open and pair

Why wait any longer than you have to? Galaxy Buds will work right out of the box, by instantly to connecting your other Samsung Galaxy devices through Bluetooth.


A new design for a better fit

With their newly refined design, Galaxy Buds are compact enough to fit comfortably into your pocket beside the rest of your belongings. No more discomfort or unsightly bulges!

A newer model Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 was released in August 2021.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Review: Bitter Sweet Symphony

Wireless is the future and the new Galaxy Buds prove that. They are smart and carry a huge potential in being one of the most sought out devices. Unlike Airpods, they can connect to any Android device and work tirelessly with the Galaxy Wearable app.

Right bud practically nonfunctional after 1 month

I bought this barely over a month ago and the right one has already faded to almost no audio. That being said, I wasn't thrilled with their performance in the first place. The audio quality is good, the ambient noise cancelling of the mic is better than most, they do stay in my ears very well but...

Samsung Galaxy Buds

Let's start with what's good about the Galaxy Buds ($130, £139 or AU$249), the third iteration of Samsung 's Android-leaning answer to Apple's AirPods . They're lightweight and compact, fit my ears fairly securely, have decent battery life -- 6 hours at moderate volume levels -- and their charging...
Pros:
  • These compact, lightweight noise-isolating true wireless earphones should fit most ears securely
  • They sound decent, battery life is good (around 6 hours at moderate volume levels) and their compact charging case offers USB-C wired and wireless charging
Cons:
  • Bass isn't all that deep
  • charging case only delivers a little more than one full charge
  • certain features only work with Android phones

Being an iPhone user, I usually stay clear of anything that says "Galaxy" on it. But my boss threw Samsung's true wireless Buds in my face and told me to start cracking. We should really call them AKG Buds because that's where the sound comes from.

Samsung Galaxy Buds

True Wireless earphones have only been around a short time and for the most part, many of the models from the big names have been pretty hit or miss, and mostly misses – at least from what I could gather.
Pros:
  • Harmanneutral default sound
Cons:
  • Fit can be challenging for some

Really good for a Samsung device

I have a S9 and the connection quality is the best there is and the latency is barely noticeable. The auto connect to my S9 is an amazing feature and makes this a great deal if u have a Samsung phone. However, I do try to use the buds with my laptop and I notice lots of connection cuts and latency.

game changer

Use it for running. They sound great. good detail. Occasionally there will be minor syncing sounds. The seal doesnt stay tight while running but they are among the best I have ever gone running with even compared to shure monitors
