I got these during the Black Friday sale for $69, which was an absolute steal. However, the $99 base price is also an extremely good deal. I have a large amount of earbuds as I'm an audio nut, so I can give a good account as to how these perform.
For the price, they're near unbeatable. Active noise cancelling, instant pairing, and ambient mode at this price point is unheard of given the quality of each feature. Compared to the airpods pro series, the ANC on these earbuds beats the Gen 1 Airpods Pro, but not the Gen 2. Same goes for ambient mode.
The case feels of impeccable quality, and holds a longer charge than my Airpods. When comparing it this way, $99 vs $249 is a no brainier. These win without an effort. The Airpods Pro are not $150 better than these. Not even close.
The biggest thing for me though was that I love the old galaxy buds and buds plus' fit. The fit of the new galaxy buds series never worked for me well at all. The round shape and weak seal made me turn my nose up at a lot of the modern Galaxy Buds 2 and Buds Pro line.
These fit like the original galaxy buds did, and that's exactly why I bought them. I love it. They fit snugly, they don't fall out, and they don't make the ears itch. Perfect.
Sound is pretty good, though the highs are slightly blown out and can create a hissing sound if in the right scenario, which is unfortunate, but the sound is far from terrible. It's warm, deep, and full of life and detail. I have yet to find true wireless earbuds with all these features for this price, especially ones that still maintain sound quality this good.
Overall, these are a fantastic deal. I highly recommend them.
