Ratings and reviews

Look, I appreciate that your earbuds can do all these different things and understand that various permissions are needed for some of these features to work, but jfc our phones have assistants on them already that other earbuds utilize just fine. I don't need Samsung to force its way into all the data on my phone. If you _really_ want to provide me with that option, fine, but let me opt out and use the other features that do interest me and that don't feel incredibly invasive.

Based on permissions alone I can only give 2 stars. I haven't used the app long enough to complain about it's functionality yet. I've been using buds pro for a year plus and they've been working just fine. Only today did I realize there was an app. So far the only thing I've tried is the ambient sound and that works great. So they get to keep one extra star. The permissions are beyond ridiculous so I doubt I will revise my rating.

Best interface for newcomers and easy to use app makes the buds to connect effortless. The dual drive gives off such an immersive experience, with quality bass that's enough to block any outside sounds. The absolute best feature is the fact that it can switch to ambient ( transparent )mode automatically when you start speaking, reducing the music level and increasing the outside sounds, spectacular feature. You end up keeping them in your ears not needing to take them out.
