thada2607, 17 Jan 2020The water resistant standard on the buds is kinda low, so I... moreAll I care about is making the wings bigger to keep them in , I like the surface buds more I think

    The water resistant standard on the buds is kinda low, so I hope they improve that in this new one.

      Expensive but without the fanatical followers of the airpods.
      Now without ANC.

      Hahaaaa, Samsung stupidity.

        Finaly a great flagships got jack removed.
        Besides jack is not essnetial it never was so its get removed.
        That lousy hole in any phone is only good for catching liquid debris and other fuss and mess.
        Plenty of wires also got in the way for other more useful and future like things a phone without jack would and should have.
        And thats why the battery on galaxy buds were improved and the technology used is far greater than it ever way.

              I think ANC feature is a bit overrated. Also normally ANC feature degrade the sound quality since the way it works is that it actually producing sound to cancel the noise, thus can actually interfere with whatever coming from your headphone. Personally what I really love to have is a pass thru / ambient mode. This doesn't require ANC hardware, but simply allow the mic to be turned (it would be better if it has separate mic optimized to capture environment noise/sound, which is normally included in an ANC headphone) so I can use the headphone/buds/iem more safely + more practical when you just want to have a short conversation with someone. Safely because when you're walking on the street, it is not smart to totally remove environment noise (like those in ear style buds, they provide passive isolation big enough that I'm a bit uncomfortable using it when walking on the street), thus it is nice if I can hear environment noise (+ adjustable volume for it). It is actually a super simple feature to implement, thus makes me wonder why it isn't a standard thing to do it.

                I find ANC unnecessary, if the ear-tips are well designed. Good decision!

                  Samsung are disappointing this year, also with the Galaxy s20: no WQHD with 120 Hz.

                    Anonymous, 15 Jan 2020Big mistake to skip the ANCI don't even know why they bother with the launch. This is what I call DOA

                      Anonymous, 15 Jan 2020Big mistake to skip the ANCReally strange actually, seeing as they are a premium brand (Samsung) you would think they would include something "Premium" about them.

                          Passive noise cancelation works great owing to the design. It won't be that good on the Air pods though because of their design.

                            I bet they don't use the easily replaceable Varta batteries anymore and probably used glue this time. The main reason I went with the Galaxy Buds was the great repairability and I really don't want to spend 100+ euros on headphones every three years...

                                Does this mean the ambient sound feature would be better too?
