And in my opinion, the Buds+ have gone a little too far. This is more my criticism of the Harman IE target than the Buds+ itself, but regardless: the Buds+ are a very intense sounding set of in-ears, with the focus primarily placed on the upper harmonics which can make instruments and vocals sound clearer and more forward, but also shouty and вЂњin your faceвЂќ when overdone. However in subjective listening, IвЂ™d classify it as a V-shaped (possibly U-shaped) signature given its considerable sub-bass emphasis and potent higher frequency boost.

Objectively speaking, the Buds+ can be classified as вЂњHarman-neutralвЂќ.

Not only that, this is the first time IвЂ™m seeing square shaped dynamic drivers being used in an IEM, so the Buds+ is certainly squaring up (pun intended) to be one of the most unique TWS IEMs on the market today for the hardcore spec nerds like me.

So you can imagine my excitement when Samsung announced an update to the Galaxy Buds to coincide with the release of the Galaxy S20 smartphone.ДЄpart from my expectations of the Buds+ being вЂњa better Galaxy BudsвЂќ, what caught my eye was that the Buds+ uses a rather unconventional driver setup: two dynamic drivers, with one acting woofer and the other acting as a tweeter. It remains one of the highest ranked TWS IEMs that IвЂ™ve heard thus far and probably one of the best IEMs I know in terms of price-to-performance value. Some of my loyal readers would know that I have held the original Samsung Galaxy Buds to high regard. However if youвЂ™re just here for reviews focused on audio quality, you can be assured that IвЂ™ve got you covered. For those who are curious about other QoL things like battery life, comfort, mic quality or connection strength, there are probably other sites who are more thorough with those aspects. But regardless, itвЂ™s still a solid product that can still be considered as one of the best sounding TWS IEMs you can buy today.Д«efore I begin, just a word of warning for any newcomers to In-Ear Fidelity. Perhaps you could say that my problems with the Buds+ is less about the Buds+ itself and more about my issues with the Harman IE target. The bass response is probably the saving grace that prevents me from saying that the Buds+ is worse than the original.

The bass is very clearly emphasised with satisfying impact and deep downward extension, yet remaining free from smearing or masking of the midrange frequencies. Virtually perfect, even in the context of other wired IEMs. However to end things on a high note, the bass response of the Buds+ is immaculate. On top of that, the Buds+ is an IEM IвЂ™d consider вЂњfatiguingвЂќ and I honestly struggle to listen to them for long listening sessions. hi-hats and cymbals) sound a tad too odd for me (either being a bandwidth issue or one relating to its frequency response).

The midrange got even shoutier and intense compared to the original Buds, and the timbre of the treble (i.e.

In practice, while I wanted with all my heart for the Buds+ to be the undisputed upgrade to the Buds (and by extension, the rest of the TWS market), I found myself nitpicking far too much to consider the Buds+ truly superior. As IвЂ™ve mentioned in my Galaxy Buds writeup, this shouldnвЂ™t come as much of a surprise given SamsungвЂ™s acquisition of Harman International and AKG, and so it should only be expected that the new Buds+ would be even closer than its predecessor in this regard.Д«ut thatвЂ™s really all in theory. In regards to the epiphet вЂњObjectivistвЂ™s DreamвЂќ, the Galaxy Buds+ is (at the time of writing) the closest an IEM as ever gotten to the 2019 Harman In-Ear target. And in my opinion, I think the Buds+ is a case of Samsung giveth and Samsung taketh away, improving on certain aspects but performing questionably on others. The biggest question I think is on everybodyвЂ™s mind right now is whether or not the Buds+ is a true upgrade to the original.
