According to our earbuds expert
Check out the successor, the Samsung Galaxy Buds+.
The Galaxy Buds are Samsung's fully wireless earbuds. Using Bluetooth, you can wirelessly stream music from your smartphone or tablet to the earbuds. If you have a Samsung Galaxy phone with Android 7.1 or up, the earbuds will instantly use Bluetooth to connect to your device. That means you won't always need to manually connect the earbuds. In addition, the earbuds can also be connected to your iPhone or other smartphones. Want to listen to music, but not be completely closed off from your surroundings? Switch on Ambient Sound mode. This lets you hear sounds from around you through the earbuds. If the charging case is empty, you can charge it via the included USB-C charging cable or place it on a wireless charger. With the extra sizes of earbuds, you'll always have the ideal fit for your ears. Different earbud sizes are included. Try them out so you can easily find the right fit.

Design
I've been thinking about switching from wired to wireless earphones for a long time. And the funny thing is, for years I thought wireless earphones would be a superfluous luxury. The opposite is true, a life without wires (on that bike, in the gym etc.) is a great experience.
Let me get straight to the point for all doubters of these buds: I can recommend them. The sound that comes out meets my expectations, the design is really great and the battery life is fine. In addition, you can adjust many things about the Buds to your own taste. Is it a headphone replacement? No, the sound quality is comparable to premium models such as a Bose QC. Are they more comfortable than headphones? Yes, they weigh next to nothing and they sit well in the ear.
Before I bought these Buds, I looked around a lot about which wireless earphones would be suitable for me. Since I have a OnePlus, the AirPods fell off anyway. Finally decided between the RHA TrueConnect and these buds.
I've owned the Bose QC35 ii for a year now and I'm pretty spoiled with it. Still, these buds (so far) are a worthy addition. I bought them with the aim of replacing my wired earphones and they succeeded.

2 weeks after receiving my pre-order Samsung phone I received the Buds. I found Samsung very neat because I assumed 6 weeks. So great! Now after 2 days of use I am satisfied with the Buds. Very easy to connect to your phone and PC. The latter is recommended because if you connect the Buds to your PC, the Buds will immediately receive an update. First download the Windows App on the Samsung site (Wear). Furthermore, the sound can be called reasonable to good, but if you are an audio freak I would go for another alternative. Furthermore, everything feels premium and the distance you can take is quite large. all in all a good set.

The Galaxy buds are the best earphones on the market in my opinion they sit very well in your ear they have very good sound quality for the price (better than airpods I've had both) and are easy to store in the storage case only you can not see what percentage is in the case you just have to make do with a light that is green, yellow or red but for the buds can you just see it in the app
