    Samsung Gear IconX 2016 Cordfree Fitness Earbuds with Activity Tracker - Black - Discontinued by Manufacturer

    • The connection between buds has been flawless for me, no sync issues, no skipping/signal drops.
    • Robust & consistent connection; continues to pair immediately and I've had very few mysterious dropouts due to Unidentified spells or Dark arts, although I've yet to take them running through Diagon
    • The auto connect is great when it works, but if you yawn or make certain facial movement they can disconnect and reconnect off and on because the sensors lose the tight connection with the ear (I tried the different sizes as well)
    • The connection by bluethoo is horrible, I can not pair the two sides together and now it only connects one
    • When I'm running or working out, I have to stop and readjust them, because they will stop playing if it's not a good connection
    • * on 3 occasions, both buds lost connection with the phone, despite being within 2 ft of it
    • Even with the phone in my right hand in direct view of main earbud, I constantly had choppy connection!
    • Not once did I ever get the 10% warning, Not once do I lose connection
    • Once paired, I only lost connection one time over multiple uses, and that was easily resolved by putting the earbuds in the case to reset
    • The fitness tracker did not work well during workouts that were more involved than simple jogs etc and lost connection with the phone (during jumping jacks for example).
    • will loose connection for about a second every few minutes and is random
    • Good sound but really bad Bluetooth connection
    • I go to re-seat them, but then had to push play in my music app again since it automatically stopped when the Bluetooth lost connection
    • The connection between buds has been flawless for me, no sync issues, no skipping/signal drops.
    • In fact, in the time it took to type this they lost connection at least 10 times!
    • They kept falling out and the connection was poor.
    • The battery life isn't great - and the connection is spotty at times.
    • In less than 5 minutes of use, I lost connection to the left bud 3 times
    • * on 3 occasions, both buds lost connection with the phone, despite being within 2 ft of it
    • The ambient sounds feature is cool, but very loud wind when moving at any speed over a leisurely walk makes it more "neat-o" than anything else
    • A while back I had purchased the "Comply Premium Replacement Foam Earphone Earbud Tips - Isolation T-400" for some other earbuds that I own and decided to try these on the IconX. when I put them on the true sound came through and it was absolutely fantastic
    • And sometimes the touch pad doesn't work as well as I like
    • So, as much as I like them and appreciate the long list of well-conceived features, without iOS compatibility I'm left with a lot of expensive features that I can't access.
