Samsung Galaxy Earbuds SM-R170

3 years ago by BreakNeckJim to c/buyitforlife

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!

I've also been using these and I've had no issues with them. The noise cancelling is NOT active for those thinking about them.

Mic is decent and I got them for a fair price on sale. I'm pretty sure the buds 2 are better in every aspect though.

They sound great but be aware that they can get clogged with earwax really easily and at that point they'll sound really muffled and you'll need to open them to clean them, which is a pita.
