So I fired up Tidal and plugged in the headphones from the box, tuned the advanced sound settings to fit my hearing range, and turned on upscaling. Holy crap. for a pair of Freebies, I am super happy with them.

They definetely sound better than the Buds, though I use the Buds for running, and they sound good for $130 true wireless. Comparing then to my Bowers and Wilkins Px... well, I can't plug those in yet, and wired vs bluetooth isn't fair, or $350 vs free, but they sound good. I probably won't bother buying a wired dongle for the Px.

I think they put out more bass than the Buds.

I thought with correct cable the Bowers & Wilkins PX can use the USB C port.
 
So I finally tried out the included AKG earbuds last night. After a quick firmware update for the earbuds, I cranked up some Sister Hazel, and holy crap! They actually sound good. Keep in mind, I am no audiophile, and I normally use my Bose Wireless earbuds or my JBL headphones (both BT).
 
The only problem I have with the AKG earbuds is that they don't seem to stay in my ears.

I always give them headphone to my nephew's.
My ears are big. So I need headphones that's cover ear or clip around ear.
Even the Samsung new ear buds wasn't staying in comfortably.
My wife took them...

I usually give them away too. At least the Buds stay in my ear.
 
I have a question:
When I was watching you tube the sounds come from ear piece and bottom speaker, when I block the top ear piece the sound is still strong even in back of the phone , so I thought the microphone next to the sim tray might be another speaker I block that and ear piece still strong sound . Where is this other top speaker? Did Samsung use the sound wave through display?

No sound wave through the display but the body does act as a sound chamber. You can feel it more naked.... Not you, the phone

No this different from body sound chamber like pixel , I remember early leaks mentioned Samsung would use sound wave display , but dont know never experience that tech yet.

I haven't seen them boast about that feature. There is definitely sound at the top. Go look at the tear down.
