- Hey, what's good you guys?
Welcome back to TechSmartt
for a really interesting video.
I'm sure a lot of you have seen these
on YouTube or in the news.
I mean, YouTube, right?
These are the brand new Samsung Galaxy Buds
that kinda come with the s10,
if you pre-order it,
but I've just been looking at the TechSmartt channel,
I'm sure you guys are commenting it right now,
Keaton, you've been checking out
way too many AirPods,
now the Galaxy AirPods,
fake AirPods, earphones, earbuds.
Think it's pretty safe to say,
you're a budtender now.
(techno theme music)
- In front of me, though,
are the new Samsung Galaxy Buds,
and you've probably seen these all over YouTube.
Tons of people have been getting them,
but Samsung only handed these out
at the s10 event,
which I was at in San Francisco,
last week.
So if you guys missed that,
it's on the insta story.
I met up with EverythingApplePro,
Phillip and I had a great time,
but we didn't get Galaxy s10,
so that's all gonna change this week.
Tons of videos coming up,
so make sure you're subscribed,
with notifications on.
You're gonna see him in a few.
But right in front of me are the Galaxy Buds.
So they gave these out to everyone
that attended the event.
And why these are special,
is the Galaxy Buds go for 129 dollars,
compared to Apple's AirPods,
I'm sure you've seen a few videos on these,
which go for 159 dollars.
So, basically figuring out how good
is thirty dollars worth.
Of course, we gotta bring the tried and true,
the trusty magusties,
never dusty,
the i10 TWS.
So, you guyshave been commenting like crazy.
If you've missed a video from Wish,
it's right there in the I-Card.
If you wanna check out a cheaper pair,
there's a four dollar pair,
I'll leave all those links down below
to everything in this video,
if you wanna pick them up.
You guys know Samsung's made these Iconx before.
Those go for a 179 dollars.
These are a 129.
So, they come in three colors,
unlike the airpods,
unless you get them customized,
or you put a skin on there.
So, digging into the box.
What else we get?
Ooh, some ear tips.
So, you get some interesting ear hooks.
It's like they include all the tips for ya.
Is that even for an ear.
What?
what I think is really cool
about the Galaxy Buds,
and I haven't even tried 'em out yet,
is the USB-C charging at the back,
and all Galaxy buds have wireless charging
in the case.
So what's cool with the Galaxy s10 this year,
is there's wireless charging built into the back,
and actually can charge other devices.
So just by setting your Galaxy buds down,
this is the Galaxy s9,
remember I didn't get a Galaxy s10.
It would charge just like that.
So, kind of interesting concept,
the AirPods don't do that.
Alright, enough jibber jabber.
What's really cool about these,
so the Galaxy Buds have a different shape
compared to the AirPods.
So putting them into my ears,
they have a nice tight seal.
I actually feel like they are in my ears,
and wow, Sherlock there.
Pump the breaks!
Yeah, I know they are in my ears,
and they're not just hanging out like a toothbrush,
but what I do like about these,
is they just feel a little bit more comfortable.
And they were talking about this on stage,
and Samsung said the buds just have
a tighter seal in the ear,
I can definitely feel that,
and I haven't even switched out these ear tips.
What I think is kinda cool,
and this is something I'll have to test with the s10,
is if the double microphones on the buds,
do anything?
If they help call quality,
if they really help accuracy,
say I wanna use Bixby.
And just looking at the shape
between the Galaxy bud and the AirPod,
you can tell there's something different going on.
This actually goes in your ear,
like traditional earphones or earbuds.
They're Bluetooth.
They feel pretty good.
I mean, AirPods just felt standard
for so long.
That just fits in,
I don't have to worry about it.
Whoa, that is kinda interesting.
I can just drop them in
and not have to worry about it.
I know where the hole in my ear is.
But with the Buds,
you almost have to just make sure it makes it in.
And that's interesting.
That's definitely something you have
to remember to do.
And now that I have both in ear,
I feel like the AirPod will be the first one to fall out.
And I got one of the three AirPod tricks.
I made a video,
it's up there in the I-Card.
It's got this little rubber thing,
so it should stay in your ear a little better.
But it was only two dollars,
so,
interesting.
I am liking these buds!
Interesting.
So battery life on these guys
is estimated around six hours,
whereas the AirPods get around five hours.
Drop a comment down below
if you've ever got five hours
of usage on your AirPods.
That's just not real.
I don't believe that.
It's two years later,
they're not lasting that long.
Even if you're buying them new.
So, I don't believe that,
but with the Galaxy Buds,
I'm interested to see the battery life.
Just because these have a larger case,
that I don't think I'll lose as easily
as the thin AirPods.
I know, I'm on pair 37 right now.
But with the Galaxy Buds,
it's just really all about the touch pad.
With the AirPods you can actually customize
the controls on the sides.
With the Galaxy Buds you have this touch pad
right here.
Use touch pad.
Double tap to play next.
Triple tap to play previous.
Touch and hold - decline call.
Okay, so pretty basic stuff.
So you got your equalizer.
You can customize notifications.
So which come through the buds
and which don't.
But one thing that I do really appreciate,
is find my earbuds.
I'm gonna take these out and see how loud they get.
(chirp sounds)
Makes like a little bird chirping noise.
Okay, so you'll probably find your Galaxy Buds
if you ever lose them.
Another cool thing about the app
that I actually showed you guys
on the Three Tricks,
you probably didn't know about AirPods,
I'm dumb plugging, I promise,
is the ambient sounds.
This is just one of the nice things
on the Galaxy Buds,
is you can just hear the outside if you want to.
Live Hearing is exactly the same thing.
If you see the ear right there,
same thing on the iPhone,
but voice focus makes voices stand out more
clearly from abient sound.
How you doing, Hef?
- [Camera Man] I'm doing good.
- I can hear you.
It works.
So kind of a cool feature,
but really I think the only thing left to do,
is play some music.
So, we're gonna jump into Spotify
to PBJams' playlist.
I'll leave a link down below.
It's updated every single Friday,
so when you wake up, you got new music
delivered right to your Spotify.
Or YouTube music.
Or Apple music.
All links are down below
to whatever platform you have.
For some reason my Galaxy Buds
are not playing any audio
and they're pretty cool,
I'm not gonna lie.
Kinda like how they feel in the ear,
but if they can't play music
that's a problem.
Basically we're gonna head up to Portland.
The Pacific North West.
We're gonna go see EverythingApplePro
for a big week of Samsung stuff.
This video is gonna be the first one out.
And what we're gonna find out is
how good are the Galaxy Buds.
- We've finally made it to Philip's house.
It took a little bit.
Missed three flights,
but on the fourth attempt we got there.
- Three flights?
No way.
- We had some plans in for the week,
so you guys definitely gotta get subscribed
to both channels.
I'll leave his link down below
and make sure you have notifications turned on.
If only we had a Galaxy s10.
- If only.
- So we have a Galaxy s9 here.
I've got Phillip's Galaxy Buds
and hopefully everything works.
So, they're paired.
I wanna see how they sound, finally right.
Had to fly, what, 900 miles to do this test.
- What you choose for the song?
- Benly - Temporary.
You guys know the playlist.
Link down below. PBJams.
On Spotify.
- I don't know it.
- Well dude, you gotta follow it.
- Alright.
- Here we go.
- It seems like it's not as loud on Samsung.
The iPhone was like blasting my ear.
That's full volume?
- Well, you mean AirPods on?
- No, these.
Connected to an iPhone it seems you get...
- You connected them to an iPhone?
- Yeah.
They're not as loud.
But I dunno, it could be just me.
Maybe not having both in.
- I gotta connect them to an iPhone after this.
- Yeah.
- I only tried it out with a Samsung.
- You didn't know you could connect them
to an iPhone?
- No, dude.
- You can connect AirPods to that.
- They call it TechSmartt,
but I think I picked the wrong YouTube name.
What?
Give me your bud.
I gotta see this on iPhone.
So this is how you get your Galaxy Buds
to connect to an iPhone.
We had it once.
- Yeah, close the case.
So if you just hold the left one.
- I think it's a placebo.
- Boom, Galaxy Buds.
- It's gonna show up either way, who knows?
- Also wants to connect to the s9 plus.
- Basically copied the entire interface
with the AirPods and brought it over to Samsung.
It works.
- Let's see how these sound on the iPhone.
- All the way, all the way.
- Definitely louder.
Definitely louder on the iPhone.
- It's strange.
- Something I didn't know you could do.
- It's a lot more isolated than AirPods,
for sure.
Like, I prefer the quality,
but it's not something I'd wear.
I just don't like in-ear headphones.
Period.
- Do they fall out for you?
- Um no,
but it's just a weird feeling.
I like on-ear/over-ear headphones.
- Alright, so,
Galaxy Buds.
Would you buy them?
129 dollars vs 159 for AirPods.
- Oh yeah.
If I was waiting for AirPods,
I would just,
might as well get the out of the way right now.
It's even for iPhone users it's a good deal.
You can connect 'em.
They auto-connect to iPhone.
- It's pretty true.
And with the Galaxy Buds,
if you pre-order s10 or an s10 plus,
they are included.
So that's it for this video.
If you guys liked it,
make sure to drop a like.
Get subscribed and
make sure to turn notifications on
to both our channels.
'Cause I think we've got
a pretty interesting week ahead of us.
- Oh yeah. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
- Alright, I'll catch you guys soon.
