Samsung's open-fit wireless earbuds with adaptive noise cancelling and a wireless charging case, intended for people who prefer earbuds without silicone tips.
Reviewers find the open fit comfortable for some ears but unreliable for others, and agree that noise cancelling is limited without a seal. Tom's Guide praises the warm sound, while SoundGuys says sound depends heavily on fit and TechRadar finds the bass poorly defined. They also note the short battery life and Galaxy-specific features.
