I was hoping for something better.
I had a lot of hope in these earbuds. As a previous owner of the Iconx 2018, I was expecting some of the same feature passed down. For instance, on the Iconx 2018, you could set the main earbud to left or right. This was handy when running with my Garmin. Connection issues happen when the main earbud is set to the opposite ear of the arm your watch is own. So the watch is on your left arm and main bud is in your eight ear. This causes the connection to drop out continuously. This is something great the Iconx had. You could change it to any ear. This feature is lost to the Galaxy Buds. I have to change the watch to my opposite arm to combat this, and it's quite awkward
The biggest let down was they had no internal storage. This was very disappointing, as this was my favorite feature on the Iconx. I understand they wanted to cut the size down but they took away what made the Iconx so great.
I haven't decided whether I want to return them or not. If someone can tell me how to set the main earbud or get around this, I'll change my review. This doesn't mean telling me to move my watch to the other arm.
