But there’s the rub—they’re headphones.
It’s not about what you’re able to see.
The Buds+ are that, but slightly more.
As far as features go, that’s it.
The newer Buds+ can even fit and charge in my old case—the exterior design is apparently identical.
The other upgrade is new batteries in the buds and the case, extending battery life considerably for both.
In using the Buds+, I didn’t find any reason to doubt those claims.
The combined time off of a charger was somewhere between 16 and 20 hours, based on my notes.
you’re free to charge via USB-C or wireless Qi.
Combined with the surprisingly lightweight and unobtrusive body of the Buds+, that makes for effortless comfortable wearing.
If you’re considering these as a workout tool, they’ll suffice, just don’t go swimming.
IPX2 water resistance means it can take sweat and light rain, and that’s about it.
I still relied on myAftershokz headphones for bike rides, for safety if nothing else.
Music is richer thanks to the inclusion of dedicated bass and treble drivers.
I was surprised at how much better the ambient sound mode is, too.
Software Improvements … Because I only have the one Samsung phone to test with, it seems like a wash. Don’t let those suckers out of your sight.
If you’re on a budget, though, there areother options out there.
I appreciate Samsung supporting iOS too, making the Buds+ an excellent platform-agnostic choice.
