Review on πŸ‘‚ Samsung Galaxy Buds+ Plus Pink SM-R175N True Wireless Earbuds - Wireless Charging Case Included (Korean Version) by Jaws Yusri ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Im not particularly happy, but basically everything is fine.

The level wasn't high enough at first, but after turning on "Sound volume synchronization," the issue was fixed. This switch is quite well concealed, and the only way to get it is to go to Settings, then Connections, after that Bluetooth, click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen, and there will already be an item titled "Sync sound volume." I will not write these down as flaws, but I will note that in the acoustic transparency mode, some sounds are amplified even though they should not be amplified. This is something I will note. The sound of the rotating blades of the air conditioner in the office is not audible at all in real life, but when "transparency" is turned on in these headphones, it becomes audible to the point where you can hear every turn of the screw. Given that this mode is intended to be used primarily for hearing the speech of other individuals, I would not expect that it would be amplified. In addition to that, the sound of the wind and the rustling of parcels gets louder, and I do not believe that this is the end of the list. It's possible that the manufacturer should have given more care to the filter device, which is what's responsible for sounds being transmitted when the transparency mode is active.

Pros
  • The earbuds have a nice design, a lengthy battery life, and excellent performance when used in conjunction with the Samsung S8. The fact that Softina displays the charge level as a percentage for them is another advantage; this applies to both the earphones and the case. The sound is pleasant, but there is not a lot of bottom to it. There is an acoustic transparency mode that allows you to alter the amount of amplification that is applied to the sounds that are coming from the outside.
Cons
  • 1. The earpieces of the headphones needed to be warmed up before they could produce an acceptable sound (before that, I had first-generation AirPods, and they played fine right after purchase). 2. The software that comes preinstalled on the device includes a peculiar equalizer that has presets but does not display the frequency response of these presets. 3. When the case is in certain positions within the bag, it is possible that one of the earpieces will slightly move away from the contacts and still be able to connect to the phone. The reason for this can be seen in the case's loose fit. 4. The settings of the touch panel offer insufficient customization options. It is quite difficult to fit headphones into your ears without touching these panels, and as a result, single clicks that are not desired can occur. You can only completely disable the touchpad, which is what I ultimately had to do because there is no option to turn off single clicks while retaining double clicks (which are very convenient to turn on the acoustic transparency mode). This is the specific issue that needs to be addressed. - after nine months of use, I ran into a problem in which one of the earpieces became disconnected and lost its ability to connect. As it turned out, the fact is that after a "deep" discharge, the case is no longer able to recognize that an earpiece is connected to it and, as a result, will not charge the earpiece. This was discovered by accident. The issue was resolved without much effort (there are guides on YouTube), but the simple fact that such an unreliable technological remedy existed compels me to deduct one point from the rating, bringing the total to three out of five.
