Any reviews of how the buds are ??

Given the track record of true wireless buds up to now, I'd imagine they'll fall into the 'do some things well, but fall down in others category', so anything above that would be a pleasant surprise.
Gone through a couple of different sets from other manufacturers and been let down by them, mostly due to spotty connectivity, terrible battery life, lack of bass, and given the reviews of other sets I've not experienced, the technology still appears stuck in the 'decent first attempt, but hopefully the next will be better' phase. Settled with on and off use of the Sony 1000Xs which while relatively OK, still exhibit terrible battery life and audio drops, but still more reliable than Bose and Jabra models I had.

Couple of online reviews I've read of the Samsung ones appear to be in the above category so pretty average, but sounds as though the battery life is decent in actual use.
Can't argue with free though.

I've seen mainly positive apart from the usuals who hate everything about Samsung. Ordered a set myself after I seen you can call up Google Assistant with the taps, though I'm worried about how they'll stay in without an ear loop.

Sound quality is meant to be clear, which is about as much as anyone really wants seeing as anyone who christens themselves an 'audiophile' isn't using buds anyway.

I'm using these ones atm not 100% wireless but decent enough

If I order an S10 now, is it too late to get the buds?

To get the free buds the S10 had to be preordered before March 7th.

Inquitus

Does anyone know if the buds that are still being offered with the S10+ 512gb and 1tb through Samsung have to be claimed by the same method as the pre orders?

Not strictly true. If you order the 512G or 1Tb model from Samsung ie E shop you also get free buds. I bought the S10+ 512G ceramic black phone and free buds should be delivered tomorrow. This is the phone I wanted, the free buds are a nice bonus though.

Mine were shipped automatically, no claiming required. Apparently the only reason they did not ship with the phone was due to a stock shortage.

Inquitus

Anyone recieved them yet?

17. The Reward will be delivered within thirty (30) days of the Claim being validated to the postal address provided in the Claim.

Another while to go ye so, I know it says within but I wont hold breathe.


Didn't realise they were white only when pre ordering.

Disappointing really they didn't let you choose and wait for your colour to be stocked.

Will be hopefully sell them on ebay for near the price of the black version.

Has anyone in Ireland received theirs yet? Or received any updates since the validated text?

March 10th here. They have until next Wednesday to dispatch them.

Few people on Reddit already received theirs in UK.

Cina

Nothing here either.

Samsung's service is really poor in Ireland. They use Exertis who don't really provide any updates or details until the last minute. I heard nothing about my phone til the day before dispatch. I got my trade in pack about a week late. I haven't even head yet if my trade in is accepted, and it looks like I won't get my buds before 30 days seeing as I've heard nothing since they were validated. Shambles.

Nice too know there starting to get delivered around this side of the world

I have had mine since the 22nd March, but they were not part of the pre-order deal. They were offered by Samsung Ireland E Shop when you bought the S10+ 512G phone. I only ordered the phone on Mar 15th, received it on 18th and received the buds automatically on 22nd.

Exact same carry on as with the free Dex with the Note 8. Got my dispatch email well after I'd already received them.

I think DHL tried to deliver mine yesterday.

Same as, arrived earlier. No change from Validated, no dispatch email. But mine were delivered by DHL, no signature needed. So I'd say others will arrive soon.

My claim was Validated on the 10th.

PTH2009

Hope I get them next week sometime as it will almost be a month since it was validated
