Comfortable-to-wear
Totally wireless earphone that has improved battery life and a smaller charging case than the previous model's. They fit discreetly
Sound decent for this type of headphone
And have touch contro
On-board storage still good
Improved ergonomics
Good all around Bluetooth ear buds with some cool features
The short answer to this is Yes. If you are in the market for a new set of headphones and consider $199 a doable price to pay, then these are very good earphones. Gym and fitness-focused users will certainly get more out of them than other users but gener...

Onboard storage, Better battery life
Average audio quality, Poor iOS compatibility, Overly snug fit

Finely balanced sound, Rhythmically and dynamically adept, Long battery life,
Coarse upper mids and highs,
So if Samsung has piqued your interest with all the tech crammed into its Gear Icon X earbuds, we'd heartily recommend you seek a pair out for an audition.SCORESSound 4Comfort 5Build 5...
