Small and light enough that you forget you're wearing them. Fully wireless with decent sound quality. Battery life hovers around 4 hours while streaming. Charging clamshell case provides an extra two charges. Includes a voice coach with fitness tracking a
Touch control is too touchy. Charging case is bulky and you'll need to carry it around. $200 is a lot to spend on earbuds, wireless or not

Abstract: Far and away the question I get asked the most when I'm wearing a pair of AirPods is: do they stay in? It's a fair question, and for the answer is, yes, but probably not for everyone. I like the wireless earbuds quite a bit, but they suffer the same issue...
Automatically tracks running, Built-in coaching feature, 8GB of onboard storage, Relatively long battery life
No heart rate monitoring, Some fitness features not available on iOS
With the Gear IconX 2018, Samsung improves its fitness-focused wire-free earphones with smarter fitness coaching and longer battery life, but loses heart rate monitoring in the process...

Battery life now equals AirPods, Solid sound quality, Ear-clinging fit, Onboard fitness coach can be useful
Battery case is chunkier than AirPods' case, Heart rate sensor has been sacrificed, Local music storage of limited use

The short answer to this is Yes. If you are in the market for a new set of headphones and consider $199 a doable price to pay, then these are very good earphones. Gym and fitness-focused users will certainly get more out of them than other users but gener...
Battery life and charging process improved, Pairing and connections work well, Media transfers and updates now handled by phone
Still expensive for "secondary" headphones, Not everyone will value the fitness features, Battery life less than typical neckbud-style headphones, Sound quality isn't great
With the second generation IconX headphones, Samsung has fixed two of the biggest issues with the buds: they now last longer (and charge faster), and the software experience has improved markedly. That means you don't have anxiety about battery life every...
