If you're looking for good wireless headphones, then buy something else. These are not good headphones, these are the best! Why? Just a few reasons: Control the headphones by tapping or swiping; swipe up to turn up volume, down to decrease Tap once to play, tap twice to skip track, 3x to go back. Answer calls by tapping. Keeps track of workout times Battery life lasts about 8 hours for continuous use. It will notify you when battery is low. Noise cancellation is excellent Has 3 different size ear fitment pieces. Comes with a cleaning kit to remove wax (and yes even people who clean their ears all the time will get wax in them) Has replacement screens for when cleaning isn't enough. Has a fast chargeable case. One of the best features!, it stores up to 4gb of music in the ear buds. You DO NOT NEED YOUR PHONE OR BLUETOOTH DEVICE TO PLAY MUSIC! Comes with USB adapters for mini USB and USB-C syncing. You can wear one at a time and switch control and workout functions with them. Comes with an app to customize your listening experience. Adjust ambient sounds, EQ, download tracks, etc. It also has the ability to notify you if you have a an incoming message from various apps like snapchat for example. You can turn this feature on and off for those wildly popular persons who receive a million messages a day. Only downside is, they ARE NOT WATERPROOF! I made the mistake of washing them in my pocket and the case and buds both died. Tried to dry them out in rice to no avail. Wearing them in inclement weather would be ok, immersing them wouldn't. My first pair was given to me as a promotional item through my local cell phone company when I upgraded phones. I was impressed with the functions and durability of them. I had them over a year without any issues at all. I researched the most popular buds when I was replacing them. None of them are able to store music. Some wont let you play just one bud. Others you have to control them with an app. These reasons alone are why I will continue to buy these buds if something happens to them. I'm sure I've missed some other features of these buds, but I will recommend them to anyone looking for wireless earbuds.

I can not say enough good things about these little gems. They come in a case the size of a small egg. This case can be charged, and then you have the ability to charge the buds if they run out of power. This can be used three or four times between actual wall charging. The buds hold a charge for around 5 or 6 hours of play depending on volume. They also have built in memory so you can put up to 16gb. of music, podcasts, or meeting notes and listen without having your cellphone. Bluetooth will connect to your samsung gear watch for even more uses. They come with biometric sensors that can help you to reach workout goals or warn you if your core temperature is getting too hot. The real test of good speakers is sound quality and these not only will not disappoint but you will be amazed at the clarity of sound at both very low volume as well as loud they do not distort and sound great. They are fully physically adjustable so no matter what size ear you have, you can get the perfect fit. I have used these every day and I continue to be pleased. They also have a grafic equalizer as well as ambient sound sensors, so you can hear what is going on around you while the phones are in. Everything is fully adjustable for priemum sound and fit. These are simply top of the line.

Now these things are wireless Bluetooth earbuds so don't expect wired sound quality, but they do sound pretty damn good. They are built well and charge fast. Samsung has a pretty good companion app to go along with them. At least on my Samsung phone there is. The more I use them the better and more accurate I get at the touch gestures. The charging case is small and easily goes mobile. I love being able to store a 4gb playlist of tracts on them to listen to without my phone nearby, though the Bluetooth range on these are pretty good, much better than my first set of Tenqa Fit Bluetooth earbuds from 4 years ago. I also like the feature to allow ambient sound in when I don't want to be completely cutoff from the outside world. Overall, a great set of earbuds which I extremely happy with.

After a couple months of use I am rally liking these. I use them daily. In the morning I use them for my workout they stay in my ears no worries with them falling out. Through out the day I use them for hands free phone calls and linked to my laptop to listen to music. In the evening I use them to watch a show now and then. I never really run up against the charge issue as I usually only use both in the morning and evening otherwise I am splitting my time between left ear right ear and seating the other one in the charger. While I may not be a heavy use person I use them through out my day and I think they are great. The sound quality is top notch. I have used a variety of ear buds and these seem to be some of the best to date. The ambient noise is nice for road running but I don't use it much past that. The tracking options and music storage are nice, but I already have a gear S3 and my note 8 so I don't use them all that much. If I didn't have that I would imagine it would be far more useful. Overall these things are just what I wanted. Wireless earbuds to run and workout with as well as use for calls.

After 5 months from purchasing these earbuds, they're fantastic. In the end, I'd buy these again since it works great with my Samsung Note 8 phone and when I'm at the gym or office. Pros: - Great for gym since you don't run the risk of cords (Like Apple Earbuds for Android but without the ridiculous overpriced tag) - With a long enough movement like walking, it'll can auto detect a workout for you. Also works well for running. - 3 sizes of earbud fittings for a snug fit. I accidentally ripped the size I typically wear (Medium), but even with that, it still stays in my ear after a 1.5 hr gym workout between cardio & weights. Please make sure to find the right size for you that will stay in your ear for a while, but won't make your ear sore. If it is sore, then try a size smaller. Everyone's ears are different! - You can change how loud the ambient sound is when you listen to something else. I use the ambient sound option heavily when I'm in the office since I tend to get a lot of people popping up in my office to chat. - Case gives me at least 1-2 full recharges of earbuds, so I'm good for almost a week before having to put the whole thing on a charger if I only use for workouts that week. - When you do wall slides & have big arms, there is the possibility of accidentally hitting the pad on your ear and pausing whatever you're listening to so it motivates you to make sure all of your reps are even. - Don't need your phone for runs if you load up music on the earbuds. I have 1 or 2 track just to test it out. Not bad. Workout transfers to Samsung Health. I use Garmin stuff, and not Samsung Health, but it's very useful if you're on one of the workout running plans Samsung provides for free. - Ambient noise setting works only when both earbuds are noticed by the app. However, you can just use 1 earbud to listen to music if you want. - Touchpad is really responsive on my earbuds. I am not that coordinated so I sometimes skip a track or turn up the song too loud when running. If you're better at coordination when jogging, you won't have an issue. At the moment I just slow down to a little walk to change things or during a rest moment in the workout. Works great! - I'm not a music or sound expert, but when you listen to like any videos from YouTube, it's like surround sound sometimes. I will occasionally freak out thinking people can hear what's on my earbuds so I take one out, but there is a lot of depth in certain tracks or videos that get produced. Cons: - Left Earbud sometimes can't be seen or detected, so you have to re-sync it all again. Looking up how to reset each earbud individually is a must. (You will need an earring or paperclip). - When you take it out of your ear, kind of awkward holding it in your hand or pocket so be aware of that so you don't lose one. I try to keep one in my pocket if need be or even bring the case with you to put them in there afterwards. - If you don't wipe your earbuds after working out, the sensors on the ear piece to know if you're wearing them may not work. I suggest after a workout to rub them on your clothes to slightly clean them before putting them in a case. Let's be real, after you get home, you're going to toss your dirty workout clothes in the wash anyway. Ear stuff on the buds won't make your clothes any less disgusting from sweat and anything else you pick up from the gym. In the end, this is a great option if you're looking for an android version of the Apple Air pods. No product is without it's flaws, but the ones these have are ones that I can live with, and are helping me so very much with my weight loss journey. I like the convenience, no wires or anything around my neck, and they stay in my ear when I'm jogging on the treadmill. Very awesome product!

Samsung has another winner with the Gear Icon X wireless headphones. The design is very nice; the case is small enough to easily carry and I love that it has its own battery that will charge buds in between full plug-in charges. The fit is very comfortable and is easily adjustable with the different sizes of 'pads' and 'wingtips' and those wingtips really help them stay in place. The sound quality is excellent, too; I'm really impressed by how these excel at playing all types of music. It took me a few tries to figure out how to swipe up and down on the buds to control the volume without accidentally tapping (which toggles between play and pause), but now it feels very natural. Due to an injury, I haven't yet been able to use the fitness-oriented features for anything other than walks but I like the coaching option so far. And, it can be disabled for those times when I don't want or need the guidance. I tend to carry my phone with me everywhere but I do like the ability to store music directly on the buds; this and the fact that the buds will store my workout information to sync with the Samsung Health app later mean I can use them without my phone if I want. One of my favorite features is Ambient Sound; this uses a second microphone on the top of each bud to pick up and then play outside sounds. It's really useful when listening to music on walks in busy areas or when listening at work, for example, and I expect it will come in very handy when cycling so that I can hear surrounding traffic. Pros: -The fit; they stay snugly in my ears but are still very comfortable -The sound quality is great for all types of music -The fitness features (coaching and activity tracking) -The carrying case doubles as a backup charger -The Ambient Sound feature is great for convenience and safety -The touch controls Cons: -The touch controls can be a little tricky to figure out at first -The price is a little steep

I live these things. I mean LOVE. They are comfortable, sound great, feature rich and the way wireless ear buds are SUPPOSED to be! Phone: Note 9 Sprint Pros: Aafordable! Water/sweat resistant Small Comfortable Long lasting An hour if listening time with a 10 min charge USB-C case charge connector Both are paired (meaning you can use either by themselves or together) No lag between left and right Swap between the 2 while in a call without the other caller noticing Ambient mode ROCKS!! Touch controls are really easy Cons: Full features are only available for Samsung devices Touch controls CAN be a little sensitive All in all, I can wear these all day and forget I have them in. They are that comfortable. The Ambient mode means I can pause and talk to people without having to take them out. I get a lot of comments and questions with these and some people are shocked they are so inexpensive in comparison.

After starting the gym I noticed my wireless headphones didn't really say in place, especially when doing things like burpees. I found that Samsung had a pair and did much needed research and I must say after a little over a month using them, I love these earbuds. I wear them working out, in the office, or I'll put in just one while I walk around at work or public. The battery life is just fine to me (usually only have to put it on the charger every two days depending). It might take some time to get used to the tapping function and know how many times you have to tap to do what you need too. And the one part I use that I didn't care for before was syncing music into the earbuds; it's easier to control my workout playlists. Tips: -If at any point it might sound like it's on the fritz, clean the earbuds and the inside of the case with a Q-Tip. -Also if you don't have on the right size wings, they will more around and your music will stop/ call will go silent. -As long as you have teh

I have tested and used multiple wireless headsets and buds over the past 2 years. By far these have exceeded all expectations and are my favorites with out doubt or competition. they feel amazing look amazing and come with tools to keep them clean. The battery life and range are excellent as well as the easy to adapt to controlls especially if you use wireless buds already. Battery life is much better than as advertised and a quick charge from the pod will keep you going the extra miles. Features are so user friendly and convenient. By far the best out. sound quality can be tuned to your needs, it's crystal clear but if you want to add more bass you can. But they are wireless buds compared to most other buds I have the handle lows in a superior fashion. 20 out of 10 for me Samsung does it again. Paired with my Note 9 and galaxy watch i am living my best Samsung life right now.

I had initially bought a pair of wireless earbuds very similar to the Samsung brands design but at a fraction of the price at $40. I ended returning the $40 pair because they repeatedly would cut out and loose signal. They were basically unusable and very cheaply made. Having experienced the cheaper brand I finally decided to spend the money on the Samsung pair and have not been disappointed. These are very nice. At $200 I would say they're to much but I was able to snags these at $150 which makes the expense more bearable. Pros: Great connection quality. Great sound. Touch pad functionally. 4-5 hour stream time. 7 hours playing from internal earbud memory. That last point is really nice. These have 4GB of internal memory for uploading your own songs. Cons: Expensive These cost a pretty penny but are worth it.
