Ratings and reviews

Terrible enough to question whether I even want these Buds. It requires literally every permission on the device to do anything, even checking for firmware updates. I should count my blessings that the Android version of this at least reaches the servers without an error. Plugs into two different, but identically named, applications in the store that you can only tell apart by finding which version will allow itself to be installed to your device. No links from here to either one, of course.

Less than two weeks in and one side keeps disconnecting. No matter what device I use it happens consistently. Once on my ears, left side shuts off after 5 seconds and the worst part there is a very loud high pitch sound on the right side which persists until I put back in charger. I don't know what happened in the update yesterday but something went wrong. I reset it several times to give it a chance. Never had these issues with the galaxy buds plus.

I've lost one of my earbuds in the grass. Unfortunately something was obstructing the proximity sensor of the earbud and the sound would not play when I was tapping "Find my earbuds" ("Looks like you're wearing you earbuds" message was displayed). Never found the lost earbud( Looks like it would be useful to add an option to intentionally override this warning and force the earbud to play the sound. This would have helped me (and other users)
