Really love these earbuds - great for calls, good audio quality and I was able to replace the batteries after a year+ of extremely heavy usage.
I agree. I have Samsung Buds+ and Apple Airpods Pro and Buds+ is better in every aspect except that it doesn't have ANC. How did you replace the battery?

just squeezing the buds between a vice breaks the seal. Then you just have to be careful not to break any ribbon cables and take it apart - battery is not soldered.
I got the galaxy buds pro w/ 10 percent r---ten cashback from Samsung for 71.99 after $30 any wired headset trade in since 2 days ago. But you have to use healthcare discount and first responder discount.

Wasn't aware these are considered the most reparable wireless earbuds so thanks for the info! Are they still sweat resistant after the battery swap?
Hopeful. Considering I used the double sided 2mm Tesa tape to wrap around the crease where they come off. But wouldn't really be pissed, if they aren't. $11 batteries for a work earphone that I can take calls in - that is good enough for me.
And they are the most repairable and they have acceptable audio & call quality and battery life. That is why I paid $80 for a two year old design.

I also got these on BF for iPhone and really like them. One thing they have over the AirPods is touch volume control - you can adjust the volume while detached from ure Apple device without bothering Siri.

I have tried various true wireless earbuds and these remain one of my favorites despite their age.
Pros:
- Small case w/ wireless charging & USB C
- Ear buds work independently
- Comes with multiple tips and wings for fitment
- Great mics and audio quality
- Good battery life
- Easy pairing w/ Samsung devices (almost like Airpods with Apple Devices)
- Great software support, still receive updates now and then
Cons:
- Touch control can be too sensitive (e.g. detects multiple taps when you only tap once)
- No ANC, but isolation is still pretty good with the right tips
Those are fakes. Newegg isn't publishing my review telling they are fakes and the item is not eligible for returns. You can raise a complaint and still return them, but not worth the effort.

The pros have active noise cancelling, this does not.
If that one feature isn't as important for you (this being a earbud and with proper seal you shouldn't hear noise anyway), then Buds+ is better option than almost all the other Samsung earbuds considering battery life, sound quality.
Anyone have problems with unbalanced battery life on these? I've gotten left/right battery levels as far apart as 11% and 74% with both buds in use at equal volume.

I've had this problem, also occurs for me with my left bud being lower. I assumed it was due to a poor/loose connection between the buds and the case. It doesn't happen too often and happens more with wireless charging for me, but super annoying when it does happen nonetheless

I'd definitely buy another pair at $59.99.
