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

    • The controls are also easy to work because the instruction booklet made it really simple
    • The controls are decent
    • A very cool feature is the ambient sound, you can listen to music and still keep a conversation with somebody, it’s a great feature to keep you aware of your surroundings, since it has a microphone built in (not recommended on a windy day)You can receive and make phone calls, listen to your favorite tunes, keep track of your health and much more all in the power of your finger, as it is controlled through touch pads!I highly recommend the Samsung
    • Because the IconX have touch sensitive controls on the ear buds I have to be careful when adjusting them to not accidentally switch the music or functionality or touch the heart rate sensor
    • Great quality, good sound, easy to setup, easy control
    • These are extremely comfortable, have excellent sound quality, excellent touch controls, and do not move at all when running or working out; something I've never been able to say about other earbuds.
    • Great idea, great controls,
    • The controls are horrible, I mean bad
    • The media controls I guess are supposed to be like a touch control with your finger rarely works or is spotty at best.
    • The major negatives are the poor battery life and the unreliable touch controls
    • Seriously!!!Comfort, not good, using the controls, i.e. tapping and sliding to control tracks and volume increase pressure in your ear
    • The audio quality over Bluetooth is not great, the battery life is terrible, and the controls are frustrating, especially when you're trying to do anything in the middle of a run
    • The controls were simple and worked as expected
    • The controls work like a trackpad on a computer
    • Surprisingly easy to set up as well as in their use; intuitive, consistent controls, with useful feedback; well laid out - much better (simpler) approach than any similar buds.2
    • The controls were simple and worked as expected
    • However those do make my ear uncomfortable if I wear them for a long time, the controls are kind of finicky, and the fitness tracking function is really useless
    • It took me a little while to master those controls because I put the earbuds in at a bit of an angle, and couldn't remember which direction was "up."Overall comfort was good, once I found the correct inserts for my big ears
    • The right headphone touch control also does not work.
    • The controls work on either headphone, which is good because when my head and fingers were wet and I fumbled with the controls, I had to switch headphones to try to control from
    • The controls were also not working
    • Awesome sound and control through the phone
    • 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
    • If you like R&B/Rap/Hip-Hop for working out you should be fine but don't count on great Bass.
