WearablesThis is my second pair of wireless earbuds (my previous ones being IQbuds, which I didn't really get on with for a number of reasons).
There are a number of key features/quirks of the galaxy buds I have discovered over the last month:
1) the case really is tiny, I keep it almost permanently in the little front pocket of my jeans (no other wireless buds case would fit)
2) battery life is good - 5-6hrs from the buds and a full recharge (and a bit) in the case. i.e. enough to comfortably get you through a day. The only time battery life may be an issue for you is if you are unable to recharge for an extended period of time. which brings me onto .....
Here's the link for my video REVIEW

3) ....wireless charging - every evening I just drop the case onto a wireless Qi pad and it is fully charged when I need it again in the morning.
4) The earbuds are also small and fit well thanks to the multiple 'fins' provided. I have 1 misshapen ear (20 years of martial arts) so a lot of earbuds fall out of my ears, but the Galaxy buds fit. Previously with the IQ buds I needed to get some comply foam tips to help them stay in (and even this didn't prevent them falling out sometimes) but the galaxy buds stay in well with the provided silicon tips.
5) Sound quality is acceptable, you won't be blown away by it but it is pretty good considering the size of the units.
6) connection strength - generally very good, but there is sometimes signal interference in crowded places with lots or wireless signals - this isn't bad enough to be a huge issue though
7) call quality - just about usable (i.e. not great)
There are 2 improvements I would like to see in the next iteration of the galaxy buds to make them perfect -
1) better call quality so that you can make calls and have your voice transmitted clearly with minimal background noise.
2) multipoint Bluetooth - it is very frustrating having to disconnect from your phone in order to connect to your laptop. Some of my other headphones allow me to have the headphones connected to both phone and laptop at the same time.
On balance the galaxy buds are great and well worth the money.
