The Buds+ can play for 10-11 hours without recharging, and the case still has about two more charge cycles inside. The Galaxy Buds+ launched a year after the original buds, adding a dual-driver array for better audio and much longer battery life. The Buds+ improved the battery life and audio quality compared to the original, but they're no longer the best Samsung earbuds. Samsung still lists the OG Buds for $149, which is too much when you look at the rest of the Buds family. These are perfectly serviceable earbuds that'll last about five hours on a charge, and the wireless charging case has two more charge cycles inside. The Galaxy Buds are the oldest, launching just over two years ago. Samsung's current true wireless earbud lineup consists of the Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Buds+, Galaxy Buds Live, and Galaxy Buds Pro (left to right above). Samsung has launched new Galaxy Buds at every opportunity in the last few years, and they're all still on sale.


Samsung even offers bonus cash when buying a new phone to make accessories like earbuds cheaper. If you have a Samsung phone, these true wireless earbuds work like a dream, and they're still pretty good on non-Samsung phones with the Galaxy Wearables app. Folks on the Apple side of the fence can pick up the AirPods if they want a tightly integrated audio experience, but the closest we've got on Android is Samsung's Galaxy Buds lineup.
