They came back into my life.

I've been using the air pots kind of enjoying their wildly successful.

You see them out in the world.

Other manufacturers, they're entering the space.

This is the latest incarnation of the fully wireless Samsung Earbud product has a couple of features that haven't been seen before.

Prime.

My favorite one is the fact that this entire setup can charge from any phone that supports wireless charge sharing.

Because this is a Samsung product and this is a Samsung phone.

There's also some interplay there that's a bit smoother than it might otherwise be with 1/3 party pair of ear pods, your puds.

But once you're into the app, this is where I think they have a bit of an advantage over the air pods.

They're super configurable.

Here we can see the battery life of each individual units.

You can use one independently of the other.

You can keep one of these guys charging in the case while listening to the other one.

There's some different equalizer settings here for a bass boost.

Soft, dynamic, clear and so on.

You can manage how these things deal with notifications.

They do have touch pads on the side.

Unlike the air pods, these have interchangeable ear tips and ear hooks as well.

Look at all those options.

The airport you've seen it before doesn't fit that far into the ear canal.

For some people, this fits really well.

Others it won't stay in their ears.

These, on the other hand, are going to be a bit more predictable because they sit further in the ear canal and they have that secondary rubber plastic key component.

They should just be a bit more secure in their considering the way that they're designed.

Air Pod is a bit taller, but also slightly less chunky than three galaxy.

But so people want to know.

Hey, which one should I get?

Considering that you can use either on multiple platforms that to work his Bluetooth headsets, you could use the air pots on Android, you could use the galaxy buds on IOS within.

The actors also find my earbuds button so that will track these down.

These things could be pretty easy to lose.

I mean, they are tiny.

Also, there's a pretty cool, ambient sound option.

I can actually elevate the volume of the ambient sound of sound around me.

So it'll be amplified into my ear so I can hear my surroundings while I'm listening to music, podcast, audiobook and so on.

Now you could toggle that all the way down so that it's muted.

You know what's going on around me is muted.

You could have Ambien.

If you're on the bike, your cycling.

You need to hear if if a car honks its horn or something, this can really amplify your surroundings.

Of course, it's not on the air.

Pods has also a voice focus feature in there, so this looks for voices specifically and allows them to cut through that that particular frequency range.

I find this to be useful from time to time.

Now, the way that the touch pad works, you can tap to player posit, track double tap to play the next track answer or end a phone call, triple tapped to play the previous track and touch and hold.

To use a user configurable user's choice, you could have that launch something specifically do something specifically, and that's user configurable.

That's nice.

Now that I have it for quick ambient sound I'm gonna touch.

And Holden, see if I can lighten up the surroundings.

Here we go.

Go.

Wow, that's cool.

It toggles ambient vote while you're holding your finger on the touch pad.

I'm in ambient right now.

I can totally hear my conversation.

Hear my own voice.

Now, do I look a little strange doing this?

Quite possibly.

But the question you all have is like, how do they stack up against the air pods?

Now, As you guys know, I'm an s 10 user.

This is the device is currently in my pocket.

So the effectiveness of either of these here, but it has to be in correlation to this particular device.

We talked about some advantages within the APP.

Who knows?

I might be willing to give up those extra features in exchange for potentially better sound.

I'm not really sure we'll start with the galaxy buds.

I want to make sure I've got maximum volume.

Okay, so now I know I've got Max volume.

A little sample.

Mmm.

Okay, now we're in soft right now, dynamic clear base.

Okay.

I'm wondering right now if the people that have tested he's already had them in full volume or not, because I read some of those things that you read.

And that was the experience I was having until I made sure the buds themselves were Max Volume and the phone was Max Volume.

Now there's a lot Maur thump way more base.

Are people doing it wrong?

It's a headphone.

I'm hearing instruments.

I was gone for a minute.

Did the trick?

Sort of.

I've heard better Con feel like I got to do this exact same track right now on the air pockets, like right now, without further ado.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Way less isolation.

I hear the fan on the camera.

Here we go beginning, You know, neither are blowing my brains out.

You know, obviously I've tried some very expensive headphones in this spot in this seat right here.

We've done it together, you and I, Jack, Kirk and whoever else happens to be behind you on any given day.

These are tiny dental floss situations.

Look at them in terms of sound.

I think I can say based on that quick little test right there, the buds there's a bit more thump to it.

Maybe my expectations were too high, either probably closer to this performance, then they are till, like a full on para headphone performance.

That said, the most striking difference for me between the two is the fit and the feel and the sound seal.

When you put these on, you feel isolated.

But there's a drawback to that.

I noticed there in my ears a little bit more this I don't even feel it.

This is, ah, kind of a tighter feel if I had to choose.

This is a bit more comfortable for my particular ear canal, and that's part of the reason I think I keep reaching for the airports in the first place.

Not because they sound the best, but because you just don't even notice you're wearing them.

That could be a good thing or a bad thing.

Neither are going to be an amazing audio experience, but really, these products are about convenience, so evaluating them on convenience, you have to give certain points to the new Samsung product because of effect that it can charge wirelessly and off of the phone itself.

Also, the APP gives you more configurable ity.

Also another thing worth noting.

The Galaxy buzzer bit cheaper than the air pots.

That's not much of a surprise.

That is a hard pick.

I really don't know.

I mean, it might be so simple as if you're on Samsung or an android.

You might go for these.

And if you're on IOS, you'll probably go for these just for the easier pairing across devices.

Oh, it's a hard decision.

I'd say if I'm about to do some kind of physical activity, if I'm going for a jog or something, I don't job.

But like, let's say I did, I will probably reach for these ones.

It's just a bit more confidence into fit.

But if it's just if it's in an environment like around the house, I actually really like the idea of not feeling the thing in your ear.

As stupid as that looks, you forget that it's there.

I already have so many great sounding headphones.

If I want to get down to business with music, I think I'll probably still reach for these more because of that factor, and then also keep my Sony have phones.

The dedicated over here have phones with the noise cancellation, everything else.

Keep those for the discerning listening.

But if I didn't have those other headphones and I needed something that could isolate better than the air pots and I only have one pair, I only had 130 bucks for one pair.

I probably go for these only I want a pair of headphones.

I probably would choose these over these, but in conjunction with a really nice pair that you use sometimes this is that I don't even notice I'm wearing them headset.

That's the bottom line.
