Note 20/Note 20 Ultra accessories discussion.

This is the one I have. It feels like a tank, but I like it. Lol

Which case is that? How fingerprinty is it?

 

[SuperLeakTX]

I bought the black buds...this guy made me do it. Should ship Monday, so they'll probably get here with the Note. *sigh*

I don't like that one bit, but doesn't surprise me. Samsung probably following Verizon's policy book.

It's supcase unicorn beetle exo pro . I have a popwallet on the back of the case , but there are a few fingerprints.

They already sent my credit so I bought my sister the charger duo and me the UV sanitizer. I'm proud of myself. I didn't go anywhere near those bean buds. Lol

I spent hours on chat in the last 2 days trying to buy the UV sanitizer, but it was ripped right outta my cart & I couldn't add it back.

Finally got my phone today.

Still waiting for my earbud lives and Samsung case with the kickstand but I had bought this case last week and will probably buy at least one more for a total collection of 3 cases.

Still researching what I should make my 3rd case be. I had Parallax case on Note 9 and leaning towards that. I like minimal cases with one sturdy one just in case I'm going to be doing something adventurous.

It's strange because I went to Samsung on my computer to buy it , but they didn't have it. It wouldn't come up in the search, but I went through the Shop Samsung app through my phone and it was there.

These buds have changed my life. That is all.

Controls - I'm not familiar because I've been using this Aukey set for a couple years. I have had the beans in for about an hour and I'm good controlling my music.

Sound - I'd describe it as "full". I feel like the sound is in my head. I don't have it loud, but it's like it's coming from all over. When I cranked it up on the Dynamic setting, I got my life... at 5am

They're so comfy it's like nothing is in my ears. May be why it's like the music is in my head. I do still hear my ceiling fan blowing. Kinda like soft background white noise. I personally don't want everything blocked out. I live alone so I need to be able to hear Jack tell me to grab The Punisher - my gun!

So to wrap it up, stick with your buds+. I'm coming from dinosaur Aukeys so I'm easily impressed. The comfort is what really shines for me. Sound is a close second.

I love telling this story to people who ask me how I like my Buds Live.

Now, I have had the original Buds... They sucked... then the 2018 and then 2019. I skipped the Buds+ since my 2019 model were working perfectly.

Now, the Buds Live. I fought with myself to upgrade to these since the ones I had just worked and worked really well for me.

Okay, the story.

On Wed, (Aug, 19), I was called by my carrier to tell me that my Note 20u arrived. While I was there getting it set up, I was notified by FedEx that my Buds arrived. WOO HOO!!! So I went home and put them in and played with them. I had an eye appointment so I had one in my left ear (my normal usage) while on my way there and after I checked in.

I was listening to music and then I was called into the exam room so I paused my music. I forgot to take it out of my ear. The entire appointment, I had my left bud in and didn't have ANY ISSUES hearing the doctor clearly and interacting with him during the exam.

After the exam, I went out and order my contacts and was glad to be done.

I pulled my buds case out of my pocket to put the bud back into my ear so I can resume the music and panicked... I mean seriously panicked. I was searching the ground around me in case I dropped them and was about to head into the exam room looking for them and the receptionist looked at me and asked, "Um, are you looking for the ear bud that is in your ear by chance?"

I reached up and felt the bud in my ear... Ugh... **blush** "Yeah, thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for!" We talked and she thought it was pretty cool that I totally forgot I had it in and that they must be pretty comfortable for me to forget I even had it in!

Now, I have to agree with people that the Active Noise Canceling is pretty... meh, at best. But I never use ear buds for that. When I need isolation, the only real good headphones that do that for me are over-the-ear ones. I have a fantastic Kove pair for that.

Other than that, I have to admit, these are absolutely THE BEST earbuds I have EVER used. I have had the Samsung buds listed above, but I have also been sent several pair to review and NOTHING measures up to the sound, capabilities and comfort that these Buds Live have.

I will, literally, cry if these ever break or get lost. Well, at least until the replacement pair comes.

Great story, I love it! Yes, I feel the same way and I could see that happening to me. It's like when I look for my sunglasses and they're on my head!

Yeah, so I typed all that up and I did it again. This time though, I didn't panic... as bad... since I am home.. yeah, we'll go with that. These are going to take some getting used too.

The Parallax is nice. Good protection without the bulk.

The Parallax is nice. Good protection without the bulk.

Yep! I'm leaning that way. I remember last time and for me that was 2 years ago, they had all of these sales on their cases and I cleaned up. I bought like 5 different cases for like a dollar apiece or some crazy low price like that,with 2 parallax cases (one black, one blue) in that bunch.

I was hoping to get lucky on some dollar cases this time around too, lol.

Yep, We were getting all kinds of Amazon coupon codes! I sold the majority of mine.

Out of curiosity, I just went back to my old order history with Amazon and found that I got two parallax vases for $1.40 apiece. Attached is the receipt for one of them. The other was in a large purchase order.

Where are these deals now?

 

[theurbantwist]

I usually do the upgrade every other year so 2018 got my hopes up, lol.

But with the way 2020 has been going, I shouldn't be too surprised, lol.

I'm really glad you found it, and thanks for letting know. I just checked and I see it in my app too, but I do not sign into this app, and many others, because Samsung insists that I surrender my entire Contacts database for the privilege of signing in. --I know, I know they already have so much of our info anyway, but this tactic really bothers me. I also have HIPAP-protected contacts, so I can't do this legally.

I spent over 8 hours on chat/phone about this on Wednesday & Thursday....

Right? No headset, no extra pen tips. Less base storage. Glad we got a charger.

Deals not even coming through. Must be #DaRona
