This is probably one of the silliest analogies I've seen in this thread.
Nuff said. You purchased a defective TV 3 years ago and ipso facto, ergo, e pluribus unum, veni vidi vici... it somehow is relevant? Nuff said, indeed.
You mean like Airpods and my Beats X? This is an issue in general for the segment. It's a very disposable product so you kinda have to go in to your purchase willing to accept the fact they will probably only last about 2 years.
I can definitely appreciate those who don't find the EarPods/AirPods comfortable or say they don't stay in their ears. They work great for me.
My AirPods have been surprisingly sweat resistant. I've had them since day one and I don't hesitate to run in them even in the hot summer sun. I even washed them in the washing machine once on accident and they keep on working. I think Apple intentionally undersold their sweat resistance/waterproofness. I will be purchasing the new version the second they go on sale, though.
Clearly in the delusional world of sheep. There is no such thing as competition and competitor.
Who cares when companies compete, clearly not the best thing for consumer.
it's bluetooth, so I'd imagine it'll work... but you won't get integrated features. Airpods are touch/tap sensitive and respond to Siri. Meanwhile these earbuds work with samsung bixby. Each product work better with their own phones.
Until they can match the active noise canceling of the Bose headphones (or even come close in terms of audio quality), these tiny headphones hold no appeal to me. Quality is far more important at this price point than making it smaller and neither Apple nor Samung here are even trying in that department, apparently they just assume everyone only listens to 128 kbs pandora and doesn't actually care about good audio quality.
How nice would it be if Apple gave us a pair of AirPods for free with the pre-order of a new iPhone?
Call 911, you’re delusional.
Hahaha I legit almost spit out my Red Bull after reading this.
looking good...waiting for the reviews though.
before the AirPods were released they were getting such negative (pr)reviews, it hurts reading them nowadays.
I would not be surprised if it's the complete opposite when it comes to the Galaxy Buds.
only time will tell.

This is for when the battery blows up it takes your headphones out as well.
I think they look good and would fit my ears way better for working out. I also like the wireless charging from the phone. Pretty cool.
The case is just a smaller version of this from 2016:
The original Gear IconX from 2016. It amazes that someone could claim that looks like an AirPod charging case.

Now this the thread when Samsung bashers / Apple lovers totally and utterly forget all and every wireless headphones that existed before the AirPods..... and accuse Samsung of copying Apple exclusively.
