Overall Verdict - Exceptional
I would recommend this product to anyone in the market for a set of true Bluetooth earphones, and for anyone still rocking the last generation wired earphones, I would strongly advise you to upgrade to this exceptional life changer.
While the Galaxy Buds don't boast all of the gimmicky features of Samsung flagship Pro X Buds, they do punch well above their weight class when it comes to value for money. Controllable through Samsung's unmatched Galaxy Wearables app, the Galaxy Buds feature the ability to play real-time audio captured from two independent microphones on their exterior (known as Ambient sound); while these can pick up a fair amount of background/wind noise, they have been exceptionally useful, especially when talking to someone with the buds in. This is because of the Buds rubber driver tips which create a competitive sound seal inside the ear canal, blocking around 75% of ambient sound, something that Apple's Airpods lack. In addition, the Buds can: read aloud incoming notifications, answer or decline incoming phone calls using their touch controls located on the surface of each ear, pause, skip, play previous tracks, and adjust media volume using the two touch-sensitive buttons. Samsung has also updated the Buds to incorporate some of the more advanced features, such as their seamless earbud connection, allowing the user to 'seamlessly' switch between previously paired Bluetooth-enabled devices without having to enter the Buds' initial pairing mode, a very versatile feature. Find my Earbuds have also been incorporated to ensure you do not lose your buds, playing a surprisingly loud location sound allowing you to quickly relocated your lost earphones.
The Earbuds' performance is where the device really excels, with powerful bass drivers and the ability to equalize your music to your preferences, the Buds offer excellent music quality. Coupled with Samsung's onboard Dolby Atmos the Buds have never disappointed. With the exception of a few Bluetooth connection dropouts, which last for approximately half a second, I have no complaints about the Buds' performance.
Personally, I love the Galaxy Buds design, I think they look smooth, sleek, and modest. I think Samsung have hit the nail on the head with a balance for understated and boastful aesthetics, more than I can say for Apple's appalling attempt at design with their Airpods. Furthermore, the Buds are far less prone to theft, due to the absence of a large cylindrical pole that is easily accessible.
Finally, value. Without a doubt, I think Samsung's created a very competitive product with many edges over other competitors. I believe this product is priced perfectly and would pay every penny for another pair of these exceptional earbuds.
Thank you for reading.

Buds - short life
i bought my buddies on august 2020, in september 2020 left earphone stopped working, so I swapped them, in december 2020 I swapped them again (same issue, left earphone stopped working). In January 2021 same issue again! I gave up! it was a waste of my money and now I cant swap them back again because I bought them in another country and with the lockdown I may not be able to swap them. At this moment the left earphone doesnt work and the right one can cant barely listen any music unless I am in a quiet room! They were so expensive! I am now using new earphone that cost me 35 pounds and they are perfect they do want samsung doesnt.
Note: they have never fell on damaged in other way.,

Not Worth the money but decent
They are great with music and podcasts etc. But and a very big but! I am on the phone alot with calls and they aren't great at all. Constantly having to mess with them to get them to have some what decent quality. I won't be replacing then with similar products not worth the extra expense at all

so comfy!
I've been fancying a pair of these since they 1st hit the shops & I've finally allowed my hubby to get me some now they've come down in price for Christmas. They're so comfy, the sound quality is absolutely crystal clear & the equaliser works brilliantly to suit. I also love the fact that there's plenty of extra size choices of ear bud fittings. Mine fit like a glove & I think you'd have a job trying to find anything to fit so well...nothing can compare to these. Well done Samsung these are simply just PERFECT!!!!
