Personally have these headphones and love them. Only complaint was my first pair lost connection and wouldn't ever pair. I sent them in for warranty and they sent me a new pair.
Not worth it just pay $90 and get a Buds plus ( been at the $90 range) for a few time.
My original Bud got it with Galaxy S it is not good fit tend to drop out, left ear start to has low sound then die up after 1 year and then the charge case can't be close for some reason, need to wrap a rubber band around it so it will charge.
Buds+ is much better so far got it 6 months ago for around $90 @ Verizon store
"just pay" double the amount. For $49 with charger these are a better deal than the ones you point out. If I wanted to spend over $100 I can do that anytime. I have these and perform fine, no not exceptional but perfect for what my wife wants now. $49 with charger is a good price for them. Any time I have looked at places I would buy from the plus you point out are over $100 to $110 sometimes not including shipping. Obviously I will miss a temporary price reduction if there has been one.
I picked up the black ones a week or two back when they first went down to $50 at Walmart. I ultimately returned them because of the audio lag when watching video with my phone. I watch enough video with my headphones that I knew I'd be annoyed and I didn't want to limit my use of them to only music/audio.
I thought they sounded alright for the price... but I couldn't get past the lag/latency. I need to look search out another set that supports the aptX codec or some other low latency codec. I have the Aukey EP-B80 and they support the aptX codec, sound fantastic, and have good battery life - they just aren't "true wireless". I got them back when they were $40 on Amazon (2 years ago, but they've come down in price a few times since then).
Anyway, the epic and ever-ongoing headphone search continues (something I feel like I'm always in the midst of and have been for the past few decades).

Samsung Gaming mode fixes that. I pause the video for a second or two and that would work. (Only had to do it once per video if it was needed at all) That isn't unique to these earbuds unfortunately even their better ones and other brands can have the problem. But usually there is a way to fix it.
