What would be the best buy 100$ Buds + or 150$ Buds 2 ?

August 11, 2021 at 5:44 pm
Well buds plus + is good but I’m pretty sure buds 2 are gonna be better so buds 2 If you can get it

Buds Pro they have 360 sound and have the mini earhooks for working out the buds 2 are junk

Meh. Disappointed actually. Was hoping for more and when they are actually a “lite” version of buds pro, then what the heck. Doesnt like the design either. Too bad I have lost my buds+ when I was moving. Hoping to find them one day. ???? Well, atleast I will probably buy a new Galaxy Watch. ????

I purchased the buds+ when they came out. When the buds pro came out, I purchased it, but hate it them. The buds pro requires a mirror to get a proper fit and practically speaking fit makes more of a sound quality difference than the technology for sound quality. The buds pro had very screechy trebles too. I also don’t like ANC because it makes negligible difference as a feature but has problems. I use a widget on home screen to turn on ambient mode and off. Due to ANC I have to cycle between 3 modes to choose what I want. That was the biggest reason I don’t like ANC. You get so little for too much inconvenience, because I love the widget for cycling between ambient mode on and off. I have no problems with outside noise with my buds+. I ended up returning my buds pro in a week and repurchased my buds+. I did not get a chance to test the ‘wind proof’ microphone of the buds pro before I returned them, and that is the only reason why I am still considering upgrading from buds+ to a better buds such as the buds 2, but based on looks it seems like the buds 2 no longer have windproof design like the pro and live 🙁
Buds+ are the best, with only problem being outside wind when using the microphone 🙁
I forgot to mention the buds+ you can wear longer before you feel like it is irritating you and you need to take it off. I could not wear the buds pro more than 30mins before it was annoying me! due to the oval tip instead of circular tip.

i’m so comfartable with my Live, but one day the relieve pressure make loud noises when i turned it on and also the active noice canceling, even i never used it but it’s quite annoying. Never drop it but i guess got to get it to service center.

Wish I hadn’t lost my buds live… not invasive, secure during a run and super light. Hope they do an updated ver soon.

Those are severely underrated. I think the weak anc overshadowed the positives and people shelved them unfairly

I forgot one of the earbuds in my school campus but the buds live app saved the last seen location so I was able to go back to the exact room and retrieve it

I think samsung messed up by making the legendary buds plus. Even the buds 2 seem over priced and provide diminishing returns.
