10 March 2019
The new earbuds have good looks and battery life, but that’s about it.

      Alien , 11 Mar 2019Funny thing : wired headphones not only sound a LOT better ... moreThe gold will do nothing for the sound at all. It will look pretty, but any plating will come off pretty soon and gold conducts current less well than say copper or silver. Also, we are talking digital music here, so it will be 1 and 0. Same as Bluetooth. So whilst the Bluetooth might lose connection or suffer from interference a wired connection wont. But Gold, well Gold will make no difference - well unless you are listening in a very corrosive environment, in which case you probably don't want you phone exposed at all and a wireless BT connection will allow you to protect it from corrosion.

        AnonD-843592, 11 Mar 2019Thank you for the advice:) What headphones should I get then? If you get bluetooth headphones with bluetooth version 4 and up (preferably v4.2 onwards), then there would be no delay at all. Just make sure to find one with good reviews.

          Still they are far worse than Jabra 60T sports elite which has been the best wireless buds of 2018.
          But they are far better than any wirred options.
          Being tangled by cables from sole of foot till head its not my daydream.

              Funny thing : wired headphones not only sound a LOT better (especially if you have a professional gold-plated wires headphones) , but sometimes I managed to save my phone from some dangerous falls because I had a wire to hold on to.
              I'd like to see you do this with wireless buds :))
              Also, I hate Bluetooth. I disabled it from my phone and I never use it. Nothing but a battery hog.
              Now I have to worry about charging the headphones as well. No way! Keep them!
              Tomorrow we'll have to charge even the charger lmao..

                I use the buds for calls all the time, never ever had an issue with the other person hearing me, in contrast, it is clearer than using the phone's mic.

                  no mention of bluetooth 5 which has double the bitrate, it should sound better in theory

                    Anonymous, 11 Mar 2019Galaxy buds costs more than my phoneThey are a lot in price but cheaper than the Apple ipods earbuds , there are many Bluetooth buds cheaper that will give you clear ,bass longer battery . I pre-order my Galaxy s10+ 512GB unlocked and got the galaxy buds free so am happy

                                    1) the overall sound quality of the buds
                                    2) the bass response of the buds compared to other similar buds in case u have used them (like Airpods)

                                      can two people listen to each separate ear buds? like the ability to set the output to mono so both earbuds transmit the same content. Also, is it fine to be used even if the users of each earbud are like 6 feet away from each other? Will there be no drop/ latency?

                                      Thanks

                                        Am on my Galaxy s10+ 512GB Unlocked and got my Galaxy Buds in ear this is Fire , Samsung gave a update today for the Galaxy Buds these Louder Clear Bass Loud Fire
