The air pods were the revolution for me. This is the one thing I was looking forward to until I heard that you needed a connected iPhone as well. Now it is a non-starter. Guess I need to go test the Samsung buds.


I have AirPods and don't have an iPhone, they work with other devices with Bluetooth just fine.


I own the Samsung pair. Don't have much good to say about them except they work... for a bit. I usually can use them for an hour and then they're completely dead.

They also can't hold a charge very long. If I charge mine up overnight, by next evening when I go to use them, they're already half dead. Great product except for very poor battery life.


Gear Icon X? The new yet unreleased version has much better battery life. 4 or 5 hours


Yeah, Icon X, I probably should have waited for the next generation. But I suppose that can be said about any new technology being released.


You only need the iphone for the initial setup and configuration. It doesn't need to be connected to make calls.
