Quality
As with any electrical items, it’s particularly important to study the quality of a product before you buy it. This is especially important for Headphones. But when we’re buying online, what can be done to get an idea of a product’s quality?
Our first area to study is normally the features. We’ve given a full list of features for Galaxy Buds above. This should give you a good idea of how good the product is in terms of features and functionality.
You’re also going to want to know how durable the product is, so here we’d advise taking a look at the materials that the Headphones are made from.
There is also a lot of benefit in checking out the brand of the Headphones. Some brands are known for manufacturing much better quality products. As I’m sure you’re aware, brands like Samsung are really well respected for making great Headphones.
It’s also important to have a good idea of your expectations in terms of quality too. You may not actually be looking for the best quality product if your main goal is to get cheap Headphones. So spend some time considering what’s important to you and think about the areas that you’d be happy to compromise or not.
Comparing Prices
That leads us nicely into price, where we’re going to spend some time looking at the price of Galaxy Buds and seeing how that compares to other Headphones and also looking at the sort of price you can expect to pay for products from Samsung.
It’s really good at this stage to spend some time just getting an idea of the sort of price you can expect to pay for your Headphones. When you’re spent a bit of time looking at the prices, consider setting yourself a budget.
Setting yourself a budget will really help you to narrow down your search. It can also help you to avoid the slippery slope of buying a really expensive product that perhaps had advanced specifications that you didn’t need or couldn’t actually afford.
The price that we found Galaxy Buds cheapest in our most recent search was at Currys and cost just £99.
Customers are obviously impressed with the value of Galaxy Buds as they’ve rated it in terms of value for money at: 8.5 out of 10.
How much do Headphones cost on average?
We searched for all of the Headphones that we could find at Currys. In total we found 424 different products available.
The average price of Headphones was £83.00, which makes Galaxy Buds above average in terms of price.
We also thought it would be useful for you to know how much the price of Headphones can vary. Of the 424 products we found, the lowest cost that we found was £3.97 and the highest price we saw was £1199.00.
In the Headphones category, 127 products cost more than Galaxy Buds and 293 cost less.
How much are Samsung Headphones?
Next up we thought it would be useful to narrow down our search a bit more and only look at Headphones made by Samsung. We managed to find 3 options at Currys.
The average price of these 3 products was £145.67. With the cheapest coming in at £99.00 and most expensive currently showing as £179.00. Based on this price analysis it shows that Galaxy Buds is below average against other Samsung Headphones.
Galaxy Buds Reviews
Reviews are without question your best piece of information when researching a product to buy online. We love customer reviews especially, as they’re not incentivised and just written by genuine customers.
We also love customer reviews because many of them will be from customers who have been using the product for some time. We found 137 reviews for . So we’d strongly recommend you head over there and take the time to read plenty of the reviews to get a real feel for whether Galaxy Buds is just what you’re after.
Galaxy Buds has a customer review score of 8.6 and our review score is 8.8 out of 10. The average review score in the Headphones category is 7.8 with an average of 63 reviews for each product.

The other useful source of reviews is expert reviews. Whilst these won’t give you as much user feedback as the customer reviews, it does mean that you’re getting some expert opinions on the Headphones. Companies like TechRadar are really well known for providing great reviews.
It’s also worth exploring other product options and reading their reviews. Just some of the products that we liked are SENNHEISER Momentum Wireless Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Headphones reviews, SENNHEISER Momentum True Wireless 2 Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Earphones reviews or SENNHEISER PXC 550-II Wireless Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Headphones reviews. Or something a little different could be a product like SENNHEISER CX 400TW1 Wireless Bluetooth Earphones reviews or even SENNHEISER HD 450BT Wireless Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Headphones reviews.
Buying Samsung branded products
Brand, as mentioned earlier, is another really important factor to consider for buying Headphones.
It looks like you’ve already got some idea of the sort of product you’re inserted in, as you’ve landed on this Galaxy Buds review. However, if you do want to consider other brands just make sure you spend some time reading lots of reviews. If you decide to stick to Samsung then you’ll not be disappointed, judging by the customer reviews.
