Great sounding earphones while providing convenience and minimalism without sacrificing quality and functionality. Although I dont like how they don't make the tips fitted like Bose headphones and I find the volume changing swipe useless because it never works, but maybe I'm doing it wrong who...

allows alot more freedom of movement and I can listen to more music and take calls more and i have more privacy when taking calls. Easy pairing for iphone or samsung the app on samsung was a bit difficult cause i didnt know it needed the gear app but when i figured it out it was easy.

Good

I bought these in early September and loved them so much! Easy to use, worked exactly as described with no issues, use them every day. Here we are 2 months later and they constantly glitch by pairing and unpairing, randomly pausing, touchpad function is inconsistent, and so on.

I originally purchased the 1st generation Gear Icon ear buds and was not satisfied. They were a great concept but didn't stay connected. I returned them to Samsung (while still under warranty) and they were not able to fix the issue and gave me a great refund.

PERFECT

Wire-free earbuds are becoming commonplace since the removal of the headphone jack from some smartphones. While Samsung has retained the headphone jack on their Galaxy devices, they still see the value in going wire-free.

Revamping the original wire-free earbuds of last year with more battery life and faster charging, they're a second chance...

Battery life now equals AirPods; Solid sound quality; Ear-clinging fit; Onboard fitness coach can be useful

Battery case is chunkier than AirPods' case; Heart rate sensor has been sacrificed; Local music storage of limited use

The Samsung Gear IconX (2018) are a great pair of wireless earbuds. The sound is good, especially considering their size, and the battery life isn't too shabby either. Beyond just being earbuds for listening to music, you can use them when exercising to track your workout and get some motivation in...
