If I buy a Galaxy S21 or Galaxy S21 Ultra, thanks to an instant credit that can be offered to buy accessories online at a discount, I can assume that a lot of people have recently bought Samsung’s new products. Galaxy Buds Pro with their new phone. I know I did it. Tim did it too. It was an easy upload, especially after hearing Samsung’s tone about their latest pair of ANC-equipped wireless earbuds.
We’re still testing ours, but most early reviews of the Galaxy Buds Pro have favorably compared it to Apple’s AirPods Pro and called it Samsung’s best so far. While I can tell you right now that I think they sound incredible for true wireless earbuds, there is another source of concern that a whole bunch of early adopters run into that have hurt the appreciation of the Buds Pro. No one can figure out how it fits.
I wandered through Samsung’s store today (because I have nothing better to do) and noticed that the Buds Pro, which again is almost universally praised by reviewers, has a 3.2 star rating with 120 reviews. a low rating on a product that looks like a slam dunk from Samsung does not take long to see what’s going on.
This is just a small example of the complaints. Most people think they sound and look good, but that’s the problem with wearing them. They do not fit well, cause discomfort or fall out with something as stupid as chewing gum.
The funny thing is that Samsung keeps reacting by basically telling everyone that they are fools wearing them wrong. Their answer includes a link to a guide on how to fit tips on the Buds Pro and also put it in the ears properly.
During my use I can not say that I had problems. My Buds Pro fits outside the box and is fastened by sliding it into each ear and then giving it a slight twist in position. However, I feel like I’m doing the same move with all the real wireless buttons, so these people might just need exercise.
