Samsung Galaxy Buds
vs Apple AirPods! Impressive.. #Helpful Post
hello
my buds today we're gonna be
taking
a look at the Samsung Galaxy buds
that
are shipping alongside the galaxy s
10
you know sitting there at the event
watching
them set these up and actually
use
them it seems that there is an
actual
true competitor for Apple earpods
from
the Samsung side it's just good to
see
the competition to finally catch up
it
only took two years so let's see what
Samsung
cooked up just how good these
are
and they're replacing the samsung
gear
icon X I also got some chocolates
which
I think I'll have one Samsung
Galaxy
S 10 chocolates thank you at the
event
I didn't get a galaxy s sent for
review
about this chocolate and the buds
so
thank you for that Samsung but I hope
that
changes next year that's why we're
gonna
be setting this up with the Huawei
P
20 pro so I'm gonna set that up real
quick
I never got a chance to look at
this
phone this was provided by
Aliexpress
where you can get these
phones
and many others had actually a
very
decent price so check them out down
below
I have to plug them these guys
hooked
me up with a brand new P 20 pro
this
is the only other device besides
the
S 10 that features the reverse
wireless
charging the thing and wow that
actually
looks pretty cool too bad
they're
outlawed here in America
otherwise
heard they're pretty decent
this
thing is actually very similar to
the
s10 series like the bezels obviously
the
notch is gone on the s10 but very
similar
designed so this is the
packaging
ooh I like it a lot so I got
the
white ones with a little blue tint I
got
to see the design they got that
right
it looks so cool so fun like a
little
pebble you can just skip across
the
river they got the colors right a
variety
of colors a matte texture and so
it
seems like they beat Apple to the
punch
with so many of the features
they're
adding two air pods to and for
the
first time ever these are capable
these
are these are tinier than before
than
the gear icon X and this matches
the
white color of the samsung galaxy s
10
series that color with a little bit
of
depth to it so it's got a 3d effect I
absolutely
love it there are several
things
about these that even the air
pods
to won't be getting and I'll try
and
explain it as I go into detail here
let's
compare these to the air pots by
the
way this is patacas new wireless
charging
air pod pow so just want to
plug
this as well because they sent one
this
is a prototype but just using this
for
a little bit it is
awesome
honestly ads wireless charging
even
more battery life and you can clip
it
onto your belt if you like doing that
and
you can use this to reverse charge
something
else so all around a lot of
innovation
in this little guy if you
want
to check some of these out I'll
leave
a link down below so let's compare
the
sizing here fundamentally completely
different
designs this is an in-ear
headphone
as you can see it actually
goes
into the canal this is more on the
surface
so it's not gonna get the same
ambience
it's not gonna get the same
noise
filtering the sizing is completely
different
again this is what the air
pods
3 will look like Apple will be
going
to this design Samsung just beat
Apple
to the punch with it I think it's
definitely
a good place to be like
design
and sound wise you can usually
get
a lot out of a design like this this
has
two microphones so this has this new
first
ever dual microphone setup one on
the
outside one on the inside and it'll
switch
in between them depending on the
sound
and ambience which is a cool
feature
I heard that a lot of reviewers
do
like that so see if there's anything
else
important or noteworthy here for
fitment
it does come up with various
assortment
of in-ear fits over here very
cool
the case first off the case let's
let's
play around with this it is pretty
quick
it gives a very satisfying
clunk
not the same as earpods I'd say
but
not as clicking but still they got
it
rights like it's very satisfying very
solid
and USBC best of all ooh wow that
actually
fits very nicely so this little
crest
right here in my ear personally it
fits
right into a little nook right
there
so I don't see these going
anywhere
this definitely is more
comfortable
already versus the shallow
me
air dots so in there already beeping
in
my ear I'm sure that it wants me to
set
it up so I wanted to show you the
iPhone
connection process because I know
a
lot of people will be buying these
just
to use with the iPhone there it is
so
you got a tap and hold shows up as
galaxy
buds these actually have a very
diverse
customisation option on samsung
phones
on androids you're gonna be able
to
control which side does what with
which
tap there's multiple ones single
tap
double tab a triple tap and then a
tap
hold
as you can see they went ham on the
softer
side which is what I like to see
Apple
should have done a lot more stuff
like
this just for the software alone
that's
cool not to mention I can't show
you
this part but Samson completely
redid
the way you connect them to an
Android
device you have to be running
Android
7.1.1 or above on your Android
device
Samsung preferably and it'll pop
up
just like earpods do as they showed
at
the events I can't share that with
you
as I do not have an s10 but the the
functionality
will be baked in on
Samsung's
beyond a 7.1.1
I
just want to see if you were to
disconnect
them what's it like to
reconnect
them back so disconnected
let's
pop it right back in let's see if
they
auto connect that's very important
to
me and they did they don't autoplay
but
all right so with a song going here
I'm
about halfway it's alright 75% okay
so
this is subjective but sound
definitely
is good it's not very punchy
though
it's not very loud okay going up
all
the way let's see what what the
sound
isolation is like pretty
considerable
okay that's actually pretty
loud
it's fairly piercing so what can I
say
the sound quality seems pretty good
I'll
try another song so it's got a
pretty
good amount of punch to it too
now
the sound quality is undeniably good
I'd
say and the reviews online basically
all
agree that the sound is good
definitely
the fitment I like a lot as
well
like these are just generally
comfortable
and I personally I think
that
they'll probably look better in
your
ears than having this stem popping
out
like the air pod so aesthetically
definitely
beautiful I love the paint
job
it's got this shimmer to it
everywhere
not only on the front but on
the
plastic on the side I like that a
lot
yeah so on iphone it's a tap and
hold
to go to the next song if you pull
one
out the music doesn't stop which is
that
how it's supposed to be for me
these
little details they add up it
really
matters you pull one out and it
doesn't
stop I don't know if that's a
good
thing or a bad thing necessarily
but
okay so sound quality is good the
fitment
itself is good alright here we
go
we got reverse wireless charging and
let's
pop these Samsung buds
right
on as you can see lights up starts
charging
right away basically how cool
is
that this is the future all phones
are
gonna be coming with this feature
soon
eventually you'll be able to pop
your
ear pods on the back
the
iPhone and do the very same thing
but
we're just not there yet Samsung's
certainly
beat Apple to the punch
without
one so that's a feature I
absolutely
love you cannot get it with
air
pods currently that's only on air
pods
- so hands down goes to these for
innovation
ok so there's an interesting
situation
here with the battery life on
the
pods the Samsung buds the actual
battery
is smaller both in the buds and
in
the casing but this still manages to
somehow
get better battery life than
Apple's
air pods
you
get 6 hours of battery life on the
buds
themselves and then an additional 7
hours
in a case which is interesting
because
you get 24 hours in the case
here
and then 5 hours onto the air pods
so
very big difference in battery life
but
still these somehow take the cake
for
longest duration on the pods
themselves
ok so at this point basically
everything
is checking out here you're
getting
a lot for your money $130 they
undercut
Apple gave you way more for
your
money and plus the sound quality is
supposedly
better to me personally I
think
this sounds better than the air
pause
that isolates the sound better
it's
tuned by a cage even Samsung owns
them
so does that even count but anyways
let's
go run some more tests in the
garage
I wanted to test the range with
Bluetooth
5.0 and a splash test as well
jump
rope test I have to do this I mean
honest
is the best way it's more intense
than
running to see if these will stay
my
ear I'm not feeling confident about
this
though I might have to change the
attachments
holding
pretty well Wow actually didn't
fall
out or budge at all cool I'm s'more
yeah
looks good
this
is totally extra but I want to see
the
dynamics of these droppings
sometimes
I drop my ear pods like this
and
that's what happens they scatter
everywhere
let's see if if these will be
any
better
so
just dropping them same way oh yeah
they
don't like to stay close well
either
one didn't do so well here yeah
these
are not scattered proof when
dropping
the magnets are actually fairly
weak
here like all it takes a little
shake
to drop out
I'd
say air pods are better next up
let's
do a range test so same deal as
before
basically gonna put one of these
in
one ear and the air pod in the other
okay
so with both enabled I'll start
press
play on both so from sound quality
alone
what I can tell is definitely the
galaxies
are more isolated like you're
more
in the little bubble obviously
there
in your headphones so leaving
these
here follow me let's let's go see
how
how long the ranges this is
essentially
bluetooth 5.0 versus the w1
chip
and uh still going strong both of
them
and this is through walls to
galaxies
starting to sputter out a
little
bit oh oh both of them are
starting
to go and air pod is the only
one
playing there like on and off so I'd
say
pretty much the same range at this
point
this is playing still somehow so
air
pod maybe just a little bit this is
like
stuttering yeah okay
pretty
close I'd say like they they cut
out
around the same time but the air
pods
hold the connection through walls
better
right here is where it started
playing
on the galaxy but again so I'd
say
about 50 60 feet through interrupted
coverage
cool also real quick just gonna
splash
these why nots these have an IP
x2
rating which is less than the air
dots
meaning they can only be splashed
from
up top you can't splash them from
every
direction very interesting I'm
sure
that eventually the Refresh of
these
will be more water resistant but
yo
I'll splash them I'll test those
claims
definitely
say that constitutes a splash
we
run them under the sink for a little
bit
too only from the top so what
happens
if you flip them upside down is
that
gonna be dangerous I'm sure that
you
can't get the insides of white here
too
okay I gave it a good dunk here will
splash
just from all directions let's
test
it out
oh
they're kind of muted uh-oh I think I
damaged
them I think water got in where
it
wasn't supposed to over here so I'm a
little
scared I'm a sketch that these
aren't
sweat proof it's activating Siri
on
its own now I think I damaged these
oops
yeah
these sound like complete crap now
they
got all tinny I'm hoping it'll
recover
when it gets dry but things
aren't
looking good it actually got into
the
grading through this okay well aside
from
that hopefully you guys aren't
splashing
your ear pods either way but
this
did very well I'm genuinely
surprised
at how capable these are
software
wise if you have an s10 it's
gonna
connect the same way air pods do
like
Sampson got so much right with
these
and undercutting apple's price too
definitely
a solid buy from me good
alternative
to the airport's better than
air
dots Pro even I'd say cool thanks
for
watching guys stay tuned for the
next
air pods competitor whatever they
come
they seem to be coming out every
other
day now but alright peace
