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

    • I use an iphone, so the features were limited.
    • The exercise mode is a nice, helpful feature but the ambient noise mode was UNBELIEVABLE, which allows outside noise to still be heard while listening to music
    • 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.
    • Best feature is you don't have to depend on your phone for music
    • 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
    • - I have to say, this is a COOL feature that works pretty well.
    • It's quite accurate, and while I've never considered it necessary for my workouts, it's a really awesome feature that I've thoroughly enjoyed
    • prompts so many features to mention.
    • Sound is decent, and love the cordless feature
    • They have so many cool features.
    • Great touch features, I love those.
    • Being able to load music on to the ear buds is one of the best features about
    • Another great feature that I've enjoyed!I would recommend these to anyone looking for a decent quality, cord-free earbud to use with any type of exercise or other activity when one wants to listen to music and/or track their physical activity.
    • love the ambient sound feature
    • They are comfortable in your ear, and the features are unbeatable
    • My favorite features include that I can hear my notifications, take a phone call, and get updates on my fitness goals (how far I've traveled, etc).
    • Being able to load music on to the ear buds is one of the best features about
    • It is probably my favorite feature of this device.
    • The other great feature I love is the ambient sound feature, with ambient sound on, it allows me to use them at work and the reason i say I love this feature is because I can also use them as ear plugs by simply turning off the ambient sound and to an aircraft
    • I like the way they fit, the audio was good for blue tooth ear buds, all the features especially ambient sound were amazing, but they aren't sweat proof as advertised, a little water got to them from my ears, and the left one died, then the right one went, don't buy these.
    • I did like the feature where I could hear outside
    • Charge Time (2/5): This is the worst feature about these headphones by far.
    • I took off 2 stars for the rather useless activity tracking features, the limited playback capabilities and the battery life issues
    • Samsung should give these another shot, drop the useless health features and increase battery life and maybe price them a little more reasonably.
    • These are controlled by touch, which in theory is an awesome feature.
    • But love the feature of loading music right to the bud... nohaving to carry iPod around too!
    • But love the feature of loading music right to the bud... nohaving to carry iPod around too!
    • I could store music on them and just use them as standalone music players, but that feature is so limited it's not really suited to how I listen to music
    • yes it can be paired but you cant access all the features like if you had an andriod
    • The features are also great and the cradle is a good solution to keep safe the earphones.
    • I love all the features on this except...it will NOT hold a charge
    • I'm sure Samsung will improve and add more/better features in their next generation of the iconX, but as a first generation product it's not bad.
    • The ambient sound is a good feature, the ear piece is good
    • Love them... just disappointed by the battery's life... only an hour to 1.5 hours of music via BT connection to my phone.... cool feature... ambient noise is great inside... bad in the wind...
    • From this app is where you control the headphone features, including volume and other features like ambient sound mode
    • I love the ambient sound feature

    • my favorite feature is the ability to leave your phone behind and use the earbuds independently with the music you load on to the earbuds very clever
    • 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.
    • That feature alone makes the earbuds worth it to me
    • As someone who requires a certain amount of incommunicado time each day, this is a great feature.• Touch controls - Samsung has done an excellent job of implementing touch controls into the buds.
    • These ear buds have so many unique smart features that they really open up so many possibilities for using them.
    • I didn't think I'd like that feature at first but after I tried it, I really do love it.
    • Its best feature would be that it is impossible to make these fall out, heck sometimes it can be difficult to pull them out with your hand
    • The other great feature I love is the ambient sound feature, with ambient sound on, it allows me to use them at work and the reason i say I love this feature is because I can also use them as ear plugs by simply turning off the ambient sound and to an aircraft
    • The coolest feature these have is the workout mode
    • - This is a really simple, but great feature.
    • This feature is really cool if you don't want to hold a phone in your pocket while you run or exercise
    • but i do like the other features it has
    • Its best feature would be that it is impossible to make these fall out, heck sometimes it can be difficult to pull them out with your hand
    • Honestly I can't even use them for more than 15 minutes without my ears hurting so any other features of the product are useless to me.
    • My favorite feature is by far the ambient sound mode.
    • 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
    • this is very important, the tips that these headphones come with suck, they are horrible, so look into foam tips and trust me, you will be shocked as to how good these sound, because they
    • However, as mentioned above they are not meant to be headphone replacements for extended time as they died in 1 hour 45 minutes just streaming music
    • There are bluetooth headphones with longer battery life that sit on the back of your neck or have ear pieces connected by a cord - Ive tried and dislike both as they are uncomfortable and even short cords can still get in the way
    • 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.
