Review: Worth the money - My first pair looked brand new but the functionality was poor. The buds didn't last even an half hour. The left bud died in 10min and the right in 20min. I sent them back and ask for a refund but they shipped me a new pair. The new pair were obviously used and damaged but I didn't buy them for the look. They work 👌🏾 perfectly. Honestly I think these were samsungs best earbuds. They always get it at first but try to keep up with the competition and miss and there new products. These with my galaxy S10 plus was amazing. Probably the best phone and earbuds they ever made hand down. Thank you, fast shipping, 2 days more like a day and a half lol. Would recommend and buy again and again
Review: Impressive first set of earbuds - My first set of ear buds of any type and I am quite pleased. Got last year's model, used, but in good condition and very happy with them. The fit is good out of the box for me, but still comes with alternate fitting pieces and extra ear cone tips. Sound is very good, and the app gives you some equalizer control to fit your preferred sound envelope with several selections of presets.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it genuine**
A: Yes, this is genuine. One thing I like about the buds is that once you charger the case it holds the charge. All you have to do is pop the buds in when it gets low. I love it

**Q: What is the difference between this model and the one i see on Amazon for $96.95 ?**
A: Sorry, no way to know which one you are referring to (as prices often change)... guessing it may be a refurbished version of the same item.

**Q: Does this include a wireless charging case?**
A: the ones I purchased,  but sent back did.

**Q: What is the difference between these 2019 and the IconX (2018)?**
A: On board storage period. Iconx 2018 had around 4 gigs of inboard storage. All versions of Samsung buds after the iconx 2018 had inboard storage removed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive first set of earbuds
*by M***R on November 2, 2020*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good if you have a Samsung device
*by L***S on June 29, 2020*

Overall, I was unsure of what wireless headphones to get since reviews on other ones would be overly good or bad and I had never bought any before. So after researching different ones, I decided on these ones and was not disappointed at all. With these, they paired perfectly with my Samsung S8 with little to no effort. They charge very quickly and have a very long battery life. So far I've gone at least 8 hours until the battery even gets to a low enough for me to think about changing it soon. Sound quality is not the best, but it is still very good. On my phone, the sound had been considerably low when talking into it directly, so having headphones was necessary for me (also since its not stated anywhere, these do have a microphone). These do cancel out background noise very well, but for some things, even with the volume at the highest setting, it can still be slightly lower than I would like but still not bad. If you're looking for ones for music, these would work fine but there are probably better ones out there. They stay in your ear very well, and come with different size wings if you need to switch to a smaller or bigger size for them to fit more comfortably. I have no worries about them falling out and feel like they would be good if you were thinking of getting these for the gym or other outdoor activities. The only thing I dislike is that it seems these particular headphones are only able to pair to other Samsung devices. They were not compatible with my PS4 like I hoped they would be.
