While we await our Samsung Galaxy S10 review unit, the unexpected brilliance of the Samsung Galaxy Buds has caught me — at least — off guard. As someone who desperately wants to make the jump from wired to wireless but struggles with the overall lack of quality offered by many Bluetooth options, the Galaxy Buds are pretty darn impressive.
It’s difficult to talk about wireless earbuds and not mention Apple’s AirPods. In many cases, AirPods were most definitely the catalyst for wireless earbuds awareness — at least to those not particularly versed in tech. I think the pairing process and the ease of use are partially why they get such favorable comments and, naturally, are one of Apple’s most popular products.
In my review of the TicPods Free, I said they might be Android’s first real answer to AirPods. But the Galaxy Buds might have taken Mobvoi’s crown already thanks to a combination of comfort, exceptional battery life, audio quality, and ease of use. Plus they cost almost $30 less than the Apple counterpart.
