unless galaxy bud has badly designed dynamic drivers, surely bluetooth 5.0 is significant better at 600kbps than airpods 320kbps?, if it worse, then samsung should get their AKG designers to make a better set of earphones, after all, AKG has 60 years experience and make the finest headphones in the world if you're in to transparent and clarity sounding features.

At least you can get the Galaxy Buds free (for now. Until when, we don't know) if you buy the S10 series in certain countries. Good luck getting Free Airpods when you buy an iPhone. Heck, you don't even get a fast charger with the iPhone. Comfort wise, Galaxy Buds fit better in my ears. Airpods, like Earpods have horrible fit on my ears.
Personally, you're better off getting some of those Bluetooth neckbands like from Aukey for like $20-30. Cheaper and they'll do the same thing and have like 8 hours battery life.

If they both fail at doing a satisfactory job in their main functionality (aka sound), they are both bad. 6/10... That's low for such pricey devices.
And yet, there are much better, much cheaper wired earphones that do the job much better. Now let's not talk about wired earphones that are as expensive...

Having Prassad do this, is like asking a vegetarian to compare cabbage and meat dishes....
And no it would not have been better to ask an avid Samsung fan to do it, but what about an impartial person?
I love the self contradiction in the last lines, a very clear verdict followed by practically equal low scores.... Feelings versus facts perhaps?
"....somehow the original is still the best truly wireless pair of earbuds out there.
AirPods: 28/40
Galaxy Buds: 26/40
"
(And NO I would not buy either of them, I'm for wired)

almost identical scores while the galaxy buds are obviously terrible - their main functionality in particular, you know, sound.
but nope, both get 6/10 on sound.
fear of not receiving free samsung goodies anymore, so we have to read between the lines uh?

To be honest I could completely see myself nightly charging both my phone and earbuds, so I don't think the Qi charging is useless at all. In fact, I plan to use this with my Mate 20 Pro when my Discord Hub arrives.

Tried both, soundwise are crap, my useless cheap sony ones sound better thru jack. Sent back both. Ordered a chinese 15 euro one from aliexpress, sounds better than any of these. Overpriced crap.

The samsungs look better and cost less. Hopefully Apple can make some without that bar hanging down the side of my face.

It hurts my head on how much I disagree with this review. "best truly wireless headphones"?. that is so far from true. Both of these have crap sound, mediocre battery life and the airpod look is worse than any bezel that gsmarena bitches about on every review. almost every alternative bud out there is better than these

Eh, I'd rather have the Galaxy Buds, at least until the Air Pods get a better design
