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.

Right earpiece not working after a month of usage

Had it for a month now, it was working well until all of a sudden the right earpiece stopped working. I've looked around and this means it needs repairs at a store. Woudn't recommend buying it from here.

Heads up, deal hunters: AT&T is celebrating today's Galaxy S10 launch with a sale on select Samsung accessories. Most notably, AT&T is offering Samsung's just-released Galaxy Buds for $97.49(Opens in a new window). Normally priced at $129.99, the wireless earbuds offer five hours of talk time or six hours of music streaming on a charge. Those who pre-ordered a Galaxy S10 phone received a free pair of Galaxy Buds, but that promotion has now ended. If you missed your chance to score a free set, AT&T's sale is the next best thing. The Galaxy Buds are so new that we haven't even finished reviewing them yet, but PCMag Reporter Michael Kan had the opportunity to try them out at Samsung's Unpacked event in San Francisco last month and said they "delivered clear-sounding audio in the noisy demo room." "A simple tap on either side of the earpiece easily paused and played the music," he wrote. They work with Google Assistant and Samsung's Bixby; just place your finger on an earbud ...

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 - Black SM-R170 review

Overall these have been the best earbuds I’ve ever owned. Listening to podcasts, music, movies and TV shows has been a pleasure. Sure, they’re not audiophile quality but they are very easy to listen to without feeling like I’m missing something; they even have a decent amount of bass considering...
Pros:
  • Solid connection
  • Good volume
  • Seals inside my ear canal
  • Long battery life
  • Easy to carry in the case in a pocket without too much bulk
Cons:
  • Volume control on the earbuds
  • Samsung Wearable app on iOS
  • Make the tapping gestures a little more reliable/easier to do
