Samsung Galaxy Buds - sound demo

2019-04-08
hi and welcome yeah due to all the hype and also because of the high amount of requests by you to review the Samsung Galaxy bats I ordered a pair as I was curious by myself to hear how they sound if they are really that great how many claim if they deserve all this hype so here they are 140 150 euros not that cheap but still cheaper than the Apple earpods which cost a few hundred seventeen hundred eighty I only have the normal Apple earpods which I personally find really crappy the airports do not sound that much different so let's see what Samsung came up with tuned was sound by AKG we already had the Samsung s8 bundle also tuned by EKG so my hope was that it would be really decent unfortunately like the airports are adamant for iOS users only and they don't work with Android devices the Galaxy buds are only for Android users you can still use them with an iPhone but you lose many features so the recent equalizer through an app which is only web on Android so you don't have the option for additional tunings to an iOS device or so you cannot configure the the touch pads and so on and so on but let's look inside packaging is quite app like wide yeah I ordered them in white I think they look a little bit gay like this if I knew like this sound this is a little bit it's not white but has this bluish shimmering here nicely small nicely light this this charging box box is quite nice you can see the remaining battery life if you just open it with the but inside they jump into pairing mode and now they should be already connected to my android phone here they come with different tips also with these logs let's call them logs so to put them in because otherwise they won't stay you have to turn them slightly like this and then they should be fixed I think yeah they have not that uncomfortable so I think they're quite nice I use the biggest tips also tried other tips but like this you can see it looks okay overall white is a little bit gauge mini for a girl it would be nicer and you have these touch control so tapping ones start me Oh stops music double typing jumps to the next track but you can configure this to Dieppe unfortunately not available on the iPhone there is also an option for ambient sound so you have a microphone and it feeds the ambient noise into into the buds here what else do we have notifications you can find my earbuds I haven't tried it because yeah I'm an iOS user so for me they have not that great because with the standard tuning so with equalizer of the sound not that great with a little I mean they don't sound horrible like the bandar-log symbiote play it did which sounded really completely off especially for twice the price three hundred dollars with connectivity problems I noticed that these also have some slight connectivity issues yesterday there was some update so I performed their favor update but when I drove my scooter with with them inside here my iPhone inside my pocket I turned the head around I got some dropouts so maybe the update fixed it I didn't try because I didn't use them that much I simply don't like this sound at all as mentioned it's not that bad but it's not really great either mmm so it's a rather flat tuning with bass and everything needs but rebel has some issues and I would like to demonstrate you this so I will put it inside here it will simply have a listen and I said don't have anything comparable for this price let's compare it again against my Sony mhm 1 which is modded to bring bass to a normal level you can see I sealed it here with hot glue because I think the Sony sounds considerably nicer smoother mmm it has some travel issues and I would like to show you this always keep my samples with some reservation don't take them too seriously if you listen to them you will probably hear something different I rather tuned them for from my own ears so how I would hear them you should hear mmm this tuning quite well from the recording so I will play analog from so Poisson process freedom and at the beginning here the original track just for reference so you know how it should sound then I will play it with neutral EQ and then I will switch to this dynamic EQ there are other settings like soft bass boost clear treble boost but they don't sound that great either I think dynamic is the most common one which was used by I read some reviews or everyone was raving about this dynamic EQ the biggest problem is that the EQ is not saved within the earphone it is saved if you use the same form but when I switch the EQ to dynamic and then I would like to hear over my iPhone it will play again without EQ with this default tuning which is of course a pity I tried it reconnecting again to my android phone and it started with neutral tuning and then after some seconds it jumped over to dynamic so obviously it remembers which phone you were playing from so from an iOS device there is no way to make them sound different therefore the main comparison will be made with the standard default tuning just to let you know and how they sound with this dynamic EQ I recorded in I recorded it like this as well so let's have a listen I think you'd hear the whole tuning is actually not that bad a little bit thin and harsh at the same time this improves when said to this dynamic EQ unfortunate with an iOS or any other non Android device there's no way to set any of these issues so now let's compare them directly to the Sony image one yeah my modded one I will play it with this default stock tuning which is a bit too thin and too sizzling for my taste but it's the way how it would sound over an iPhone I will play my standard three tracks at the beginning and at the end you will always hear the audio track for reference and in between our switch between the galaxy parts and the solemn so literally is it just a treat my loving inside my fantasy call to me you are in my thoughts I never stray from the heart of you am i searching you I wanna feel Hey so in my opinion the sony is a waste with a something in here it's not violence doesn't have all these great features but just on sound alone and not that impressed with the galaxy but especially not with this standard default tuning it sounds a live it better with dynamic but for me there is no way to set it to dynamic permanently maybe let's a look at some measurements to see what's going on here in blue you can see the default tuning and in red the dynamic EQ just for reference I will overlay the modded Sony image one here in black and you can see that the default tuning has pretty flat base maybe even less based on the Hammond target so the modded Sony image one has only more here around 5 dB if I only the unmod it original sunny image 1 you can see that it's around 1012 DB more dynamic EQ improves the celibates all raises bass to a higher level but there is still some drop below 50 Hertz apart from that I think the Galaxy buds are quite close to the Hammond target except this 6 7 kilo has boost you can see the Sony is way smoother here and overall travel is more boosted on the galaxy but therefore yeah I'm not really that impressed I mean they sound ok way better than the pure play 8 which sounded just horrible but you cannot get rid of this 6-7 kilohertz boost here also with the default tuning which is how I would listen to them from an iPhone they sound too thin if you use them in noisy environment you only hear treble and harshness so they are not that great I definitely prefer the Sony the moderate even the original one way more I also think that the Samsung s8 band well also tuned by AKG sounds better than this it's not OLS but you can get it for 8 9 euros and hope to get a genuine one so 450 dollars or euros I mean you can find much better sounding ones they are quite comfortable but they are nothing special so I will definitely return them because they are not for me and as I don't use Android hey I cannot use them I would probably also use them with this dynamic EQ or some other one I tried them all but I found an emic to sound maybe best still I would have liked that they reduce this area around selling kilohertz it's not as pronounced as on many other try five in years but it's definitely pronounced and it's what puts it off I mean it's not that close to for any harm on target or any natural you could hear it from the recording it's not really close to the original sound so here the Sony is definitely closer yeah my take on the Galaxy birds they are not horrible but definitely nothing to hyper be raving about and coming up next I would like to make a comparison of the Sony image one against the Sony I have some here so against the Sony image one see the Sony MH 750 and the Sony image 755 so they are all here so stay tuned but the galaxy but definitely not my thing they are nice comfortable but I mean you are better off with the Sony MH 7 of 755 and some Bluetooth receiver from Sony which you can get also 440 fifty dollars so way cheaper than these you still have some higher but also sound wise way nicer so I hope this was helpful to give you an idea about the sound of the galaxy but definitely only for Android users if you own a iOS device or some other non Android device where you cannot install this galaxy wearable app yes stay stay away from them because they sound too thin and - sizzling - too harsh if there was at least some EQ some parametric EQ like we had on the Jaybirds which you can read in the sound to some reference level this is not possible with these therefore I am NOT impressed and although designed everything is great I think they are not that great overall yeah thanks for watching and see in the next video bye bye you
