Bought these earbuds originally in 2019 and I have not been disappointed.
I have tried several other types and brands but none of them come close to the sound quality or durability of these bad boys!
The noise cancellation is also fantastic on them as well as the battery life.
They’re a bit hard to track down now as Samsung have stopped selling them and only sell the newer versions, unfortunately.
Be aware that some of the newer versions do not fit airtight in the ears, which means no noise cancellation.
I’ve also recently tried Google Buds and the difference between the audio quality is night and day. Where the Google Buds are tinny with no noise cancellation, the Samsung Buds are deep and rich, with fantastic noise cancellation.
Overall, highly recommended!
Worthwhile thread, but I also feel like by definition true wireless buds cannot be BIFL sadly. I don’t think a single model from any manufacturer has replaceable batteries or parts, so every single set will be ultimately disposable after a couple years.
+1 I love mine
Haven’t tried them, but fairbuds should be repairable
Thank you, I was actually looking for durable, high quality earbuds. Do you happen to know if the battery is replaceable somehow?
No idea as I haven’t had any problems with them yet, but the case doesn’t seem like you could take it apart very easily :/
Yeah, that’s the main problem for me. It drives me crazy that I have to trash something that still works just because of a stupid battery. Sadly not even fairphone buds (or whatever they’re called) have a replaceable battery as of now
