If you activated developer options on your phone and change the Bluetooth avrcp to 1.6 it should be just as loud as the wired. Also change version pbap to 1.2. these changes make bluetooth volume louder and cleaner on any wireless speaker.
To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ru-vid.comUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
I use my AKG earbuds faithfully. The simple answer is you don't really get the same "UMPH" in the Galaxy Buds. That's not to say that the Galaxy buds are bad at all. But it falls under that age old topic of wired vs wireless. Wired will always have less lag than wireless and not lose that sound quality.
Watching the video on S10, with AKG earphones,, I agree with everything you said, but two things to mention, 1st, Equalizer is available in the settings, so toggling between the profiles can also be done with the wired AKG through the phone's settings, or a premium player app. 2nd, the buttons are very convenient. There is a small pointy thing at the button, which is used to play/pause/call handling. So i can understand the position of that button even without looking. So far, the AKGs are more than satisfying. But I do want to buy buds+, only for the convenience of being truly wireless.
The wired akg earbuds are super uncomfortable, none of the tips fit my ear, they constantly fall out, the wire makes a horrendously irritating echo sound everytime they rub on my clothes. The buds are way better in terms of ease of use, however the sound quality is not that much better but the features that come with the buds make them better !
Unless you need the convenience, I would spend the same price as the Galaxy Bud Pros, and get some entry level IEMs for like $150-$200. If you want a step up in sound, I would suggest the Sennheiser True Wireless 2 for wireless, or the FIIO FH5s or FH7s for wired. The FH7s are starting to get into the MidFi range though, as they cost $450.
I'm kinda confused here. You didnt really say if the Galaxy Buds+ have better sound quality or not. One thing I dont like about the AKG buds I'm using rn is the bass. I used to use $15 JBL earphones that had way more bass, and kinda made me feel like they had better sound quality because of it. So I would really like to know if the Buds+ have better sound in your opinion.
Yes . He didnt say which had better sound quality and I'm really curious as to which has better sound quality. Overall a very good brief video underlining the features. I just wanna know which sounds better.
Thanks for bringing up a very interesting topic, great video👌. Since you only mentioned the volume difference, is it safe to assume that the sound quality of the Buds+ is the same as the AKG wired? Since you didn't talk about it much. Keep up the good work 🙌
Coming from the note 8 to the Ultra I know how decent the AKG ear buds are. However I finally caved and got the Buds plus. I have to say. I'm impressed. The most useful feature for me is the ambient sound toggle for work. Since they do create a solid seal in ear. Very comfortable after a while you forget you are wearing them. I have even fallen asleep with them on and the morning sounds didn't wake me up. Not sure if I recommend sleeping with them on but if you are someone who sleeps with ear plugs. These are just as good. My only issues with them are the accidental skips and pause. Even happens wearing a hoodie. And the worst part about them is they will eventually fall out once or twice if you don't re adjust every once in a while. Other then that they are a dub!
@@mihaitax7118 If you are an audio file these might not be for you. They do not get as loud as the wired AKG buds. The Audio quality is decent. You won't get the super punchy base on either set. Just well balanced nothing special or over the top. Just right if you ask me. The only thing I have found be annoying after 60 days, is when you wear a hood made from nylon or synthetic material the touch controls get activated. So stay away from windbreaker hoodies while you use these. Cotton hoodies do not interfere fyi.
Man, of all the earbuds I've ever received with a phone, the AKGs are fantastic and the best by far. Nice balanced sound with a good bass presence. I'm picky with this shit so, was a nice bonus to the Samsung S20+. I imagine the wireless buds sound a bit better, but no complaints for the AKGs.
Also, I'm really looking forward to seeing you get your hands on the AKG N400 wirelss earbuds they just announced. Hopefully those have better sound quality as well.
I'm really glad you made this video. Was looking to get Galaxy Buds+, but sound quality is very important to me so I wanted to know if they're better than the wired AKG headphones that came with my S10
i bought the akgfor my ipad but the sound still come out of the spearkers yet i can turn the volume up and down with the little + and - button, so the c type is connecting to the ipad so why doesnt the sound come through the ear buds?
Please!!!! I hope you read this I have a very sensitive question, For someone who has been working with the akg wired headphones, will he find any difference "even if it is a tiny little thing" in the sound quality if he uses the galaxy buds? Because we're talking about 150 buck! it's not just something that you can bring it for some features when the main purpose faces troubles. Please!!!!!! I really hope that you give me an answer?
I have both. I think the wired AKG earbuds sound better, because there's no bluetooth codec in the middle. But the Buds+ sound quite good, you won't regret buying them. The wireless feature is a huge plus, also the touch features are great and you can use it with a lot of bluetooth enabled devices. The wired AKG earbuds are limited mostly to samsung phones and tablets.
I always pick the wired headphones as they remain functional even 10 years after purchase. The flimsy wireless ones, are like time bombs: it's just a matter of time until the batteries die and they become e-waste, even if the inside speakers themselves are is still functional. Never waste money on products that have been designed with planned obsolescence in mind!
Great video! I think I'm just going to have to get an adapter for my wired headphones because the wired AKG set that came with the S20 sound like absolute garbage to me. I think earbuds just aren't for me. Whether wired or wireless.
The buds sound great and I also use the left ear only when I drive. The built in microphones really work well for the ambience and allow you to do whatever you want at high volumes and still be able to hear around you outside of the ear, i.e. oncoming traffic while bike riding or the doorbell when relaxing at home. Worth it !!!.
They Are both Ear BUDS..So When You Say Buds Here Sound GREAT..Which Buds Are You Refering TOO? The WIRED BUDS OR BLUETOOTH WIRELESS BUDS? Thanks JAMES
I love the Samsung AKG wireless buds but one will not sync to charge together. They do sound fantastic. I have to figure this out or wear the wired buds. See how it goes?
I don't have an issue with wired headphones ... but I DO have an issue with these earbuds with the weird angles to them. I have discovered that if I try to use them as one normally would ... with the wire coming down from your ear, they are utterly useless. My ear canals go upwards, apparently. So they only way I can actually have the AKGs stay in is to flip them essentially 180 degrees so the wire is coming out at the top of my ears. If I do that, it looks stupid, feels weird, but they stay in and sound alright. But the issue would be avoided altogether by just having the damn earbuds NOT have a sharp angle to them ... straight designs have never given me issues. Yeah, yeah, they can't help it if I have weird mutant ears ... but they should design things that make the product accessible to all. YMMV.
Brother loved your comparison review on akg earbuds, it feel good to see you please stay safe it's very bad condition we are under curfew due to corona virus from many days weeks God bless you and family and everyone 🙏 take care brother
I really don't get these so called "reviews" and "comparisons". You are comparing wired vs. wireless and waste time with describing how cables get in the way. Thanks, we all already *know* that - that's the one most obvious reason why we're considering wireless. You also waste time by stating all the features we can (and most likely already did) read in product descriptions online. Look, there are TONS of videos on YT comparing wireless earbuds between themselves and yet almost none of comparisons between wired and wireless earphone counterparts. You stumble upon this gold mine of a topic for making truly relevant content, yet you blow it by wasting 6 minutes listing the obvious, unimportant crap. For a user who never owned wireless earbuds but is considering a switch, the most important question is - is the sound quality going to be at least the same for that sum of money. So, if you want to help, do not ask *us* what we think. Rather tell us how you yourself experience the differences in sound quality between these stock wired and wireless earbuds. That would actually be quite helpful.
I have both and i have to say the wired get louder amd have more bass with good range but they muddy under heavy highs with like drums in the background unlike the buds plus which do there most to keep it all even so you can hear the wide sound stage all at once but the buds cant handle the heavy thumps of bass heavy areas but they make do and it definitely don't sound bad just flat when compared to say the type c akgs not to mention im not trying to mess up my type c port with headphones at work or when working out so the buds plus for me so i can work a 12. Amd have music all day damn near
i've never wear the galaxy buds before. but I think the wired one is a lil bit too low on the sound volume. even if I put it on max level, it's not as loud as my iPhone 6. my iPhone 6 is far better than my galaxy s20.
@@MP-op4su have you tried changing the sound settings to Dolby? And there's also one for the age group. It might also be faulty earphones. It was like that for my s9+ earphones.
Josh can you please answer me one question. Will the regular buds charging case work on the new buds plus??? I lost my buds plus charging case and I'm not trying to spend 90 vs 30 for the older buds charger
The original buds sound now is some kind of a mess. I guess, maybe because of the updates that it had received. Being compared with the akg earphone is nowhere near the superb sounds. Haven't tried the buds+ yet but I won't be getting it. If it had anc maybe I would.
I just want to know, if the AKG wired earbuds type C are compatible with my galaxy S9 ? Mine have most their sound power due to time so I want to replace them, I do have a C port, so I don't know, are they compatible ?
Why us nobody talking about the latency the first galaxy buds are only good for music all the other stuff like Netflix or any mobile game is a pain in the ass because the delay is so damn huge Can you tell me something about the new buds and the latency
5 year old Akg 3.5 earphones still sound bettet than the latest buds pro 2 - this is robbery. Expensive and inferior. Controls for buds does not make it sound better.
