Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus review

The all-new Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus offer an significant upgrade to the sound quality and battery life of the originals, but without noise cancellation they're not quite perfect.

Dual-driver design 11 hour built-in battery life iOS compatible

Limited audio codec support Only IPX2 splash resistant No noise cancellation

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus offer better sound quality and an extended battery life compared to last year's Samsung Galaxy Buds, but they're still missing advanced audio codec support and full-on noise cancellation.

Samsung Galaxy Buds+ review

Samsung's Galaxy Buds return for round two

Lightweight design ; Good battery life ; iOS and Android compatible

Sound flat and uninteresting ; Lack dynamics and detail

Packed with features and capable of inoffensive sound, but the Buds+ are not the most dynamic or detailed performers

Samsung Galaxy Buds+ review: Enough of a plus?

Samsung's third-gen true wireless earbuds are here. These buds are considerably better than the first generation, but are they quite good enough?

Lots of bass ; Battery life out of the case is very good ; Wireless charging case is convenient ; Secure fitting ; Ambient noise is useful

Case only holds one extra charge ; Not always comfortable for long periods ; Sound quality could be better

A solid pair of wireless in-ears. Sound is improved over their predecessors, while battery life is excellent. But don't shun other similar priced competitors, which will have the upper hand for some listeners.

Samsung Galaxy Buds+ review

Are Samsung's second stab at truly wireless in-ears the perfect fit?

Sound quality step-up ; Fantastic battery life ; Excellent microphones

Limited water resistance ; Multi-device support is poor

Small gains in every area add up. The Galaxy Buds+ are now some of the best wireless in-ear all-rounders under £200, and you’ll need to spend a lot more for better sound quality or more advanced features

Samsung Galaxy Buds+

With a whopping 11 hours of playtime on the earbuds alone, the Galaxy Buds+ are some of the best true wireless headphones around - whether you use a Samsung phone or not.

Samsung Galaxy Buds+ review: Like AirPods for your Galaxy phone

Samsung's Galaxy Buds+ packs in stellar battery life with a slew of other pleasant features, making it a very decent true wireless earbud for Galaxy phone owners.

Stellar battery life ; Good call quality ; Easy pairing with Galaxy devices ; Well-supported on iOS ; Compact and pocketable ; Wireless charging

No outstanding features ; Average sound quality ; Doesn't do much to stand out from cheaper alternatives

Samsung Galaxy Buds+ Review: Better sound and battery, but these are no AirPods Pro

An improvement on the original in important ways.

22-hour battery life • Noticeably better sound quality • Ambient mode is surprisingly good

Buggy pairing on iOS • Touch pads are too sensitive • Still uncomfortable for smaller ears

Samsung's Galaxy Buds+ are a noticeable improvement from the original Galaxy Buds, but they won't make you ditch your AirPods.

Galaxy Buds+ review: Samsung finally has a worthy AirPods alternative

Don't let the familiar design fool you, Samsung's latest earbuds were overhauled to drastically improve audio, nearly double the battery life and boost call quality. There's now an iOS companion app that brings most of the Buds+ features to Apple...

Affordably priced ; Improved audio ; Longer battery life ; Deeper iOS integration ; Better call quality ; Impressive wireless range

No active noise cancellation ; On-board controls require sacrifices ; Still only IPX2 rated
