Find the Right Equalizer Settings for Perfection
This review is purely on sound alone, since I can't speak much to battery life and connectivity having not experienced many other bluetooth true wireless buds.
I originally didn't like the sound of these, but I've come around after playing with the settings. Some of the problems I have with a lot of earbuds is the emphasis on the low mids and bass, since it tends to make the high mids and treble, especially that characteristic of snares and other high mid percussion, sound tin-y and annoying. Having heard good things about these IConX buds, even two years from their launch, I was disappointed when I was having the same problem with sound. I went from a wired pair of Bose earbuds that had a more rounded, softer sound to the Samsung ones, which just...well, loud, drum-heavy rock music literally made me want to turn down the volume it sounded so weird. The timbre was just...wrong.
Well, luckily, the equalizer options my Samsung Galaxy S9+ offers from a software standpoint, as well as the advanced sound features that allow you to customize sound to your hearing and the Samsung Gear Wearables App, made these earbuds sound just as good as my Bose Soundsport wired buds without the wires. I highly recommend customizing your settings to get the best out of these earbuds. I have the Gear Wearables equalizer set to "Soften" in addition to having my own personalized sound profile, and it's made all the difference.
Also, hey, the bass is awesome in these. Rich and thumping, EDM sounds so good.
Now, Bluetooth still has some...quirks. The range isn't great, but I rarely go around without my phone in my pocket. And like I said earlier, I don't have much to compare to in terms of connectivity. These buds work for my phone and connectivity needs well enough.
They're ultimately pretty comfortable too, thought try as I might, the little wing tip won't stay in my ear super well. I have very small ears, however. I find them just as comfortable and the sound quality still very good even without using the wing tips to their full potential.
I guess the TL;DR is they're pretty great if you're comfortable adjusting the equalizer settingsRead full review
