Got my new S7 Edge on Wednesday and really haven't done much but transfer all my stuff over and attach it to my Gear 2 Neo. That being said, I must say I'm a little disappointed in the headphones. The earbuds I got with my S5 Active and S2 Skyrocket were really impressive for earbuds in their respective generations. It looks like they've jumped further on the Apple bandwagon by trying to make the earpod style headphones with a silicone cover plus they sound really crappy, even compared to my now 2 year old earbuds that came with my S5 Active.
I use the earbuds that came with my S5 for cycling, running (which I do like 3 times a year), and yard work. I've never had a problem with them. These fall out of my ears just sitting at my desk.
The "squishy silicone" style of the older earbuds is also much more comfortable, these are very uncomfortable if your ears aren't exactly the right shape.
The sound quality is mediocre at best, and I do mean for earbuds. I know they'll never sound like my JVC HA RX900s, but I would expect them to be at least on par with my old S5 headphones. There is zero bass and the highs are just this side of audible. The mids are not terribly impressive either. I mean, Beats sound better than these earbuds!
Anyone else as disappointed as I am?
