Recommendation for Replacing Samsung Galaxy Buds+

DryingPan on 08/06/2022 - 13:30

I've managed to lose one of my buds+ and they don't seem to be available anymore which is a shame because they were damn near perfect. I could be misreading this but it sounds like reviews on the current range all have a lot of people complaining about comfort (Buds Live and Buds Pro). Is this unfounded? They don't seem to review nearly as well here -

In any case I need a new pair (samsung or otherwise) for work, gym, and pacing while I call Mum. Keen to hear your thoughts

Budget around $200.

Cheers

    I'd recommend looking into Jabra Active 65t/75t

    If you aren't picky on colour, there still seem to be quite a few places selling the White Galaxy Buds+.

      Those white ones are from the same seller across multiple sites, TechUnion and they just put the price up today, an avg of around $22 - $25.

      Eg they were $127.95 on their own site, now $149.95

      Kogan, mydeal, catch, ebay (currently removed) etc

    It's very much up to personal preference, but I've used both the Plus and the Lives and they're both excellent. It took a few days to get used to the fit of the Lives but can't fault them at all. Connects almost instantly just like the Plus, sound quality and comfort are both good, looks nice (not like you have something hanging out of your ears). I've kept away from the Pros due to some negative reviews (e.g. falling out of ears when moving).

    Plenty of options - all are excellent. Galaxy Buds Pro and Buds2, I also like my WF-1000XM3's, but you might want to have a look at the XM4's. FWIW, I find that with my Samsung phone, the Samsung earbuds work the best in terms of additional features and just ease of use. I don't notice any real difference between the options for most use cases.

    I've found the Buds+ to be the best tbh.

    Had a lot of issues with the Jabra 75t - think they're completely over-rated personally.

    Haven't tried some of the others.

    I posted this a few days ago, but tbh I have no experience with these Huawei buds
    Could be mediocre, could be amazing. They just seemed cheap for ANC.
