I like these compared to the pros and plus, its nice not having any inner ear pressure once youve got the hang of how they go in your ear. Battery not as good as plus though. At low volume you can hear around you but not fully. ANC is non existent it will only quiet low hums that you didnt notice were there until there gone. Hope that makes sense. I can wear these the longest out of all three for sure though

Thanks OP. Didn't buy two sets when the Buds+ had the really good deal.

Those mentioning range, maybe you have defective units. The Buds+ I got for my wife have excellent range. She'll leave her phone in the kitchen and walk about the house without reception loss. She'll even go into the basement and upstairs. It's an 1,100 sq ft house built in the 50's.

Just want to chime in as well. I have never had those problems with the pluses I have. They seem to have decent range. Used with my note 9, tab s6, and now s7+.

I just received these today and they are really comfortable. I don't know what else to compare these to sound wise because they are a different type of bud but they sound great and the connection does not cut out when I have my phone in my pocket.

First time wearing these at the gym with ANC on... wow, very bad ANC . My ears hurt from the loud clanging weights across the room when ANC is trying to cancel out the sound. Makes really bad whining pitches. Low hums are gone but Otherwise, ANC is almost nonexistent.

I have XM3 Buds and wow, the sound quality (bass, treble, and ANC kills this thing).

The only reason I like these as as backup is that the XM3s are huge and goes into my ears. Whereas, these do not. The best part is you can lay down and nap or eat with them on and you won't hear yourself chewing!
Lol. ANC on these is meant for constant sounds like AC, fan, machine noises, etc. It won't get rid of loud bangs lmao.

Passive cancellation from a proper seal blocks out loud noises. These don't block the ear canal... With the WFXM3 I can't hear anything going on around me with foam tips. But that's not necessarily a good thing.

No ANC cancels out weights clanging.... It's for droning sounds like planes or road noise

Yes, anything. I'd make sure both pieces work though. I've traded in ones I got while flying with Delta years ago. Or go to the dollar store and get a pair.
do they really check? I sent in a beat up old one . Hope they don't reject Frown

I have the buds plus and these. The buds plus dont hurt my ear but these do. Left ones are ok, but right ones are really painful. Can't wear for more than 30 mins. Tried a few online videos to see how to wear as well as removing/ changing wingtips but they still hurt. Waiting on sleeves from Samsung to see if that helps with the pain. Just not made for my ear shape I guess.
How did you order the sleeves? I called and messaged Samsung today. Both times I was denied.

Comparison with Plus. Essentially Plus is better in every way other than microphone and perhaps looks.

It's a painful process , they should have just included the sleeves in the box.
I chatted and was repeatedly told I need to call 1800samsung.
I did that, on the tele prompts select mobile device and accessories option. After going through few more menus, I finally got a message saying my wait time is 1 minute.
Well I was on hold for 30 mins then someone finally answered, redirected me 2 times, then I reached an agent who offered to send the sleeves.
I had to give every detail, my name , email, full address over the phone on a bad connection, they could have just picked it up from order number but did not.
I am still not 100% sure they got my email or mailing address right as I have no confirmation email.
I called samsung back and was given a ticket number and told someone will call me with further updates.

Definitely a good product when you don't want something that sticks into your ear. For someone who doesn't want complete noise cancellation, it's a good buy. 6 hours of battery life is also good, not sure if anyone wants to wear it continuously for more than that time!
