It works just fine
the earbuds sound lush and balanced across a wide dynamic range
Seamless
simple swipe-and-tap-based operation

excellent frequency response consistency

earbuds are not on par with wired/wireless headphones
the Gear app does not let you set the equalizer on the PC
could turn off prospective buyers is the price tag
the plastic around the POGO pin connectors gets quite slippery due to sweat
it does not have a heart rate monitor
It s a little bit annoying
Bluetooth connectivity glitches
touch controls are a bit hit or miss
the buds only shut off when you put them back in their charging case
ambient noise as I ran
it lacks a heart rate sensor
Treble and Clear made music sound a little too tinny
swipe up/down on one earbud to control volume
the Gear IconX has no integration with streaming music services - not even Google Play Music
the Gear IconX lacks integrated heart rate monitoring
The touch controls could be a little less twitchy
lack of heart rate tracking
Wallet Pty Ltd is not a bank and does not offer banking services
service does not include all providers or all products available in the market
the Gear IconX also has 4GB of internal storage
minimal Master & Dynamic logo also doesn t look half bad
plenty of key features are missing on iOS devices
the controls are fundamentally flawed
the battery life is inexcusable
isn t just limited to the treble
the sound was breaking down(maybe Bluetooth issue )
there is no means to switch the buds off
the connection is lost and music stops or is paused
Sound quality is poor which is directly related to the fit in my ears
lack in the volume department
these earbuds are mostly made of plastic
ear pain is to be expected after at least half an hour of use
abysmal battery life on these things is clearly laughable by
eliminates Bluetooth stuttering by completely taking Bluetooth out of the equation
IconX does not offer direct integration with streaming music services
extremely short battery life
workout tracking is not accurate and the built-in heart-rate sensor has
the touch controls are a bit difficult to master
it is a little harder to transfer your music
you can't power either earbud up or shut them off without carrying an accessory
assistant s voice often seems muffled
just a little too big to slip into a pocket with my usual accoutrements
earbuds have dinky touchpads on the sides
There are no buttons on the IconX
They only play music or other audio when used with an iPhone
There s no shortcut to this on the earbuds themselves
the app only shows battery life in a small graphic
the impact on your ear socket lands somewhere between annoying and painful
Heart rate data only appears on Samsung phones
Battery life is alarmingly short and falls short of claims
the control interface is annoying
interface is imprecise and annoying
left earbud would often get clogged and lose a lot of its volume output
their control scheme is somewhat unreliable
high latency for gaming and watching movies
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
latency is worse on the Galaxy Buds than the Gear

Can samsung gear iconx work with iphone?

The Samsung Gear IconX earbuds work with both iOS and Android devices, though, as you might expect, you'll get more out of the earphones if you pair them with a Samsung Galaxy phone. With an iPhone, the Gear IconX works just like any other pair of Bluetooth headphones.

Samsung Gear IconX review: Almost perfect, but with one fatal flaw. 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. The Gear IconX have a great fit, and never fell out of my ear during exercise.
