Anyone tried them?

I was thinking about getting the Buds plus and then saw these.

If you have the Buds Plus, how sensitive are the controls on them. Wish they came in a beige. :)
What do you like and not like about Buds plus.
I listen to audio book, wondering about battery life.

I had the Buds+ and regret selling them enough that I'll probably get another pair.
Only downside for me was that I would have liked them a bit louder but they do get better with both volume and bass if you put on proper size/fitting eartips for your year, personally I invested in Comply Foam ones.
Look up GAMESKY on YouTube for a very good and honest review.

My brother has a set of the Live buds and when i watched as he answered a call with them I was sold. I'd been using two now-ancient Jawbone ICON HDs with failing batteries. I'd still be a Jawbone aficionado if they hadn't lost their way.

Yeah, I have a couple of older buds, that are not holding a charge long.
So many ear buds to choose from. Decisions, decisions. 🤔

I want some that don't stick way out of my ear and can hold charge while I listen to audiobooks. And easy controls on them.

Thanks.

Initially, the way those Jawbone devices looked were the selling point; that, plus it stayed in my ear where the Jabra Bluetooth earpieces I had fought to get out of my ear. Seeing my brother's Buds Live in action woke me up. He said that ambient sound pass through is excellent. I didn't want to try his because I didn't want to sully them. The in-the-ear fit appeals to me also.

Doesn't the Samsung Buds +, claim 11 hrs? Did you get that on the pair you had?

I never used them for that long before putting them back in the case but I would say it's genuine enoght, give or take a little depending on volume etc..

After watching lots of reviews on the Bud Live, don't think I want them.
First the fit, most reviews said there a one size fits all. And are nor comfortable after few hours.

Was thinking maybe Jabra t75, but battery life not as good as buds +. Can only use right ear one by its self.
Case is not wireless charging.

So unless I can find one I like better, it maybe the buds +, for me.
Any bud + owners out there want to jump in with pro's and cons on them.
Anyone know what the warranty is?

On amazon there are some mixed reviews.

The Buds + last close to 11 hrs. That's what sold it for me.

Thats one of the things, making me think they are ones I may get.

I've been thinking about getting new buds for awhile now. But with virus been staying close to home, dealing wuth 2 old pair. 😉
It takes charging both at least once, to get me thru the day. 😁
But as I said I listen to audiobooks alot during the day. So I want a pair to get me thru the day.
If your wearing just one, is the other one charging in the case?
