The Buds Plus Review – The Best True Wireless Earbuds I’ve Ever Tried

earbuds plus

As its name suggests, this pair of true wireless earbuds has more to offer than the standard Galaxy Buds. They’re versatile earbuds that harmonize warm, satisfying bass tones with crisp high notes delivering addictively rich tracks. They can also selectively tune in or out environmental noise. And their battery lasts all day.

These buds are the best-sounding true wireless earbuds I’ve ever tested, with a clear sound profile that sounds more natural than many rivals. They have a slight boost in mid-tones that brings out the clarity of vocals and helps instruments like guitars and cymbals stand out. They’re great for anyone who loves to listen to music while moving around and want to be able to hear their surroundings when they need to.

I’ve been using them all week and can say that they feel great in my ears, fit comfortably in the ear canal, and don’t slip out even when I’m shaking my head. I can also tell that their microphones are excellent and that calls come in loud and clear. They also have a very useful Ambient mode that lets you hear the sounds around you without stopping your music, which is especially handy in noisy environments. The app has three settings for Ambient, and I’ve found the medium setting works well in most situations.

The app is free and easy to use, with minimal permissions, no need to create an account, and useful options for customization. The Buds+ don’t support higher-end audio codecs such as aptX Low Latency or LDAC, but they do have a proprietary Scalable Audio codec that can provide better stability and bitrate support on Android phones running 7.0 or later.

They’re also incredibly comfortable and have a sleek design that fits nicely in the ears and won’t stick out in public. The case has a nice heft and feels great in the hand, and it’s not too big or too small to fit in your pocket or bag. They’re available in a few colors, too, so you can match them to your outfit.

These are the best-sounding, most convenient, longest-lasting true wireless earbuds I’ve tested, and they’re my new go-to recommendation for everyone looking for a great pair of buds. They aren’t the most immersive headphones, but they have great sound quality with impressive battery life and a host of handy features for all kinds of use cases.

Samsung’s reengineered second-generation buds are an improvement over the originals in every way, with major improvements to battery life, audio quality and call quality. While $200 earbuds still outperform them, the Galaxy Buds Plus are a solid option for most people with no major flaws and an enticing feature set.

The Jabra Elite Active 75t are a close rival to the Galaxy Buds Plus, and they have a little more to offer than most other competing pairs of true wireless earbuds. They have a better-fitting fit, better battery life, and more intuitive controls, and their sound is slightly brighter and punchier with less distortion at high volumes. However, the Galaxy Buds Plus have a more neutral sound profile out-of-the-box and give you more equalizer settings to play with in the app, as well as a longer continuous listening time.
