Use an open source, privacy friendly app like gadgetbridge which has most of the functions the galaxy app has but without the need for all of the special permissions. Problem solved

      The app is fucking spyware though. Before you buy these know that you will have to give Samsung access to everything on your phone, including your messages and notifications, regardless of what you want to use them for. It's a huge privacy violation and it's complete bullshit that you don't find out about this until you buy the earphones and connect to the app and it won't let you unless you allow the pap access to everything.

              I would like to know if these new earbuds are made of the same materials as their predecessors because my ears get itchy every time I use them. Please let me know.
              Thanks.

The fact that they're getting decent reviews when everyone (including myself honestly) thought they were going to suck says a lot. I'm going to give them a few more chances before I can definitively call them bad. It's best to not jump to conclusions like that. We'll just have to see when the Ear 2 comes out, or whatever Nothing's next product is.

For example, a company has no ambition just because their first product is mediocre. If they continue making weak products, then yes, that will be true. The Ear 1 aren't even that bad, calm down and give them a few product launches, because at this point you're just spewing nonsense.

It's just another Amazon brand among the others, just run by a guy who knows how to trgggrrr a few gadget bloggers for free advertisement.

                          It is not an alternative to Galaxy Buds. It's an overpriced budget brand. An oxymoron. 100 bucks for something that would have cost 50 bucks without the marketing expenses.

                            AnonD-762416, 30 Aug 2021Is sales going that bad for "nothing"? Ask bad th... moreFor a first product, I think Nothing did a good job. Were you really expecting them to compete with Sony or something? Of course, if it continues like this, then yes I will agree with you, but if they improve and evolve, which they likely will, they have a bright future ahead. Besides, the Ear 1 have been getting decent reviews, and aren't being panned like you're implying. Also, ffs, Nothing isn't charging $250 for them. They're not meant to be competing with Sony or Bose or Apple or any of the big boys yet. If you thought they were going to be an XM4 killer, for a first product and at $100, then that's your fault, not Nothing's. Nothing just entered the industry, you have to give them a fair chance, and one product is definitely not that, especially when said one product is decent. Give them more time before calling them a con company, that's a bold claim to be making so early.

                              Solun1, 30 Aug 2021You have a good point. I really enjoy my Buds+ altough they... morethe buds2 is very comfortable, however, i feel like the buds+ and buds pro still sounds better. Using the 3 at the same dynamic setting, the buds2 sounds like a concert hall speaker was inserted in my ear or like im listening to sound underwater. ITs like im listening to my neighbor's loud speaker. There is too much bass and a little too much echo for my taste.

                              The buds+ and buds pro are pretty close in sound, and for me i think is both better sound-wise.

                              I dont know how id feel about the new one.

I really enjoy my Buds+ altough they are not as good as wired earphones (even cheap in-box Samsung earphones are better in sound quality). And I'm a little concerned about the fit because Buds2 don't have those rubber wing-tips anymore. I wonder how would anyone who tried both Buds+ and Buds2 rate the comfort.
