Not one mention of the Samsung ear buds. Samsung is continuing to beat Apple in technology innovations. Wireless charging, heartbeat monitor. You can even charge them on your S10.

The other thing I don't like about the pods is how much sound the let out. Ever been in an elevator with someone with airpods, you can hear everything they are listening to.

The problem with Samsung ear buds is the same as with other samsung premium products: they are really nice, but at the end they are only slightly cheaper than apple ($150 vs $180) whereas they are worse in a few categories - battery life, multi-device support and microphone quality being just three of them.

Not to mention charing from S10, which for now seems to be as terrible idea as the built-in fingerprint sensor - using S10 as charger generates significant amounts of heat that will quickly kill your phone battery.

And that's a problem with every samsung products - cheaper, but still really expensive considering all of the drawbacks.

Nobody really cares about Samsung ear buds.
