    Mine arrived today. Validated on the 15th.
    Small enough package & no signature required. If you're not at home it'll fit in the letterbox.

    So clearly they are not going by claim date, my claim was validated on 9th and still nothing.

    And some people getting two. Samsung really messing this up so.

    Mine validated since 9th March and still no sign of them.Was going to sell them on anyways but the market be flooded by the time they arrive:D

    Those who got a second pair.



    I hate you just a little.

    No sign for me . Another day at the gym with my older set of earphones.

    Enjoying them so far, will take a time too get use too stuff like the commands on the touchpad etc

    There actually a lot more thicker than I thought thus not as easy too lose. Charging case is compact enough


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,093 ✭✭✭rawn


    Validated on the 15th and recieved yesterday! I'm impressed so far, the charging case is tiny and the ear buds themselves are comfortable and balanced nicely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,892 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    What's the battery life like??

    If I was travelling all day could I do with just bringing the buds themselves and not the case too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,315 ✭✭✭dan786


    40 days still nothing.

    Quite worrying considering there is no way to get an update, a way of tracking and with others reporting getting two.

    I guess it ll be another good but of time until they get them out to everyone.

    And as there seems to be plenty to stock in stores and online the preorder requirements appear to be bottom of the priorities.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,624 ✭✭✭Thor


    Still no sign.

    Same. Reaching 45 days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,555 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    47 days for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 90 ✭✭Alligator Wine


    Mine arrived last week and were working fine for a few days, then suddenly stopped working. One of the buds won't charge and won't connect, while the other works fine. Seems to be a common issue and the only solution is to send them back for a replacement :(

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 899 ✭✭✭DrZeuss


    Received mine this morning, DHL signed for.

    I have to say I am finding them better than I expected, not over-ear replacements but the sound is pretty decent and they feel snug enough to use on a run.

    Initially I thought the volume was crazy low even at max, but turns out there is Bud volume and Media volume settings (which I've not encountered on other BT headsets).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,892 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Is turning off bluetooth the only way too turn these off???

    They were 80% at 3am last night and I didnt put them in the case but when I turned them on today they were 20% and i had no bluetooth on at that time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,315 ✭✭✭dan786


    52 days now.

  • Registered Users Posts: 235 ✭✭Bradz213


    Got an email 12 days ago saying that they had issues and that they would be shipped in 10 days at the latest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,555 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    Mine arrived today,52 days waiting.


  • Registered Users Posts: 155 ✭✭Geimhreadh


    Got mine this morning too.

    DHL guy said they had to go back to them as they left off eircode and needed a number to call me.

    Manufacturing date is 22/3 so they are shipping them as they are making them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,315 ✭✭✭dan786


    Still nothing. Got my Sonos for P30 today which were validated almost month later.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,762 ✭✭✭✭Inquitus


    Got mine on Mon finally, 40+ odd days, maybe 50, they are very decent for free, can't argue with that, not sure I'd pay the asking mind. They fit well in the ears and don't seem prone to falling out easily. They paired no issue and keep pairing as soon as they are out in my ears.

    Loving them.

    Fit well and sound great.

    Really like the seamless connection to the phone.

    Phone in pocket and put them in and straight out of the case one tap and my music starts playing.

    Loving them too and even better they were free ha

    finding using the touchpad and battery life are small issues but tbh cant bring them travelling as my ipod touch is too old too download the app so very happy with them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,647 ✭✭✭✭McDermotX


    Had to wait over 50+ days for mine to show up.
    Limited use so far, but probably fairly average soundwise (even for true wireless.....turning on the bass boost does help a little though so I found myself leaving it on). That said the connectivity and battery life are excellent in comparison to the Sony WF-1000s, and far more comfortable in the ear.
    Bit fiddly to remove, but overall not bad for free.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,315 ✭✭✭dan786


    Reaching 60 days now. Anyone else still waiting?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,892 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Having an odd issue. Showing up like the pic on my phone but there is sound coming from the left bud but pad wont work on it ??

    Same here. No word on them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 671 ✭✭✭brianc27


    i've been emailing them every few days for the last few weeks, i get the feeling they have no idea whats going on, they told me two weeks ago that they were delighted to inform me the buds are about to ship, nothing a week later so emailed again and was informed again they were about to ship, asked for a tracking number or courier name and they said they couldn't give me that information as they don't know what courier is being used :confused:

    they seem to be pushing the fact that the buds are free too, they mentioned this numerous times in every mail i've received, get the impression they want me to drop it and give up :rolleyes:

    Same case here. 80 days now. Their terms clearly state delivery within 30 days.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,388 ✭✭✭Cina


    think it's likely that your buds got shipped to those of us who got two, lads.

    Was it? Still no moving on mine.


  • Registered Users Posts: 671 ✭✭✭brianc27


    After emailing them every 3 days for the last few weeks they finally explained to me that my delivery had "failed" (whatever that means) and I needed to confirm my delivery address to them again, sent them my parcel motel address this time instead of my home address so no reason for the deliver to "fail" this time round.

    Yes delivered last week were only shipped two days before delivery. They say they couldnt find any info about one they originally sent.

    Just call them and ask to speak to a supervisor and explain it to them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 480 ✭✭browne_rob5


    Anyone know the cheapest place to but these at the moment? Think I lost mine last night and have become very attached to these!
