  • Abstract:  (Above: Samsung Gear IconX)So, the new buds could be a rebrand for the AKG earbuds that are included in the price of its flagship smartphones, but more likely represent an attempt to challenge the market dominance of Apple’s AirPods, or perhaps to produc...

  • Dynamic sound, Ambient sound adjustment to hear the outside world, Secure fit during exercise, Lots of features
  • Touch controls are fiddly at times, Connection not perfect, No built-in heart-rate sensor limits fitness potential
  • The Icon X offers a tonne of features and decent dynamic sound, making them among the most versatile wire-free in-ear earphones on the market.Saying that, they're not perfect. The touchpad controls are tricky, while the connection glitched every now and t...

  • The Samsung Gear IconX are better than their bad name. They are best paired with an Android phone with the aptX Bluetooth codec, so check first. But like the Apple AirPods, these are a Samsung product and work best with Samsung Galaxy devices.The integrat...

  • Onboard storage, Better battery life
  • Average audio quality, Poor iOS compatibility, Overly snug fit
  • The Samsung Gear IconX 2018 is an improvement on battery life compared to what Samsung had launched previously, but still leaves a couple of things that need to be checked out properly. There's the overly-sensitive touch controls, the overly snug fit, and...

  • Finely balanced sound, Rhythmically and dynamically adept, Long battery life,
  • Coarse upper mids and highs,

  • Significantly better battery life, Comfortable fit, Great sound quality,
  • Finickity tap controls, Clumsy assistant feature, Bluetooth problems persist,
  • The Gear IconX (2018) are a vast improvement on last year's model with an excellent battery life that won't disappoint. Less capable in fitness, sure, but the trade-off is a smoother, better overall experience. There are still a few connection hiccups, es...

  • Charging case offers only one charge, Some functionality still buggy, Stereo channels wobbly over Bluetooth, Fit not particularly comfortable
  • For Android users who absolutely have to have true wireless earbuds, and also have the need to work out without their phone, Samsung's IconX could be a viable option. For most other users, there are better true wireless options at the same price or less...

  • Surprisingly good sound, Great fit, IPX2 sweatproof
  • Battery life, Clunky case, Touchsensitive playback controls suck
  • There's been plenty of talk around the Samsung Gear IconX; though they are definitely a solid pair of true wireless earbuds, they have one fatal flaw: the battery life...
