Samsung Gear Icon X review

Samsung hops aboard the all-wireless train with mixed results

Stunning design ; Onboard storage ; Compatible with iOS ; Super snug fit

Sound quality isn't stellar ; Short battery life ; Expensive

If you're looking to cut the cord and step onto the treadmill, Samsung's Gear Icon X are a fully-featured and comfortable, albeit flawed solution.

Samsung Gear IconX review

(Rating Hidden)

The Samsung Gear IconX headphones are an unusual pair. They're wireless Bluetooth in-ear headphones that are designed with exercise in mind and have built-in fitness tracking features. It's an interesting combination of two different products, but how...

Samsung Gear IconX review: Wireless earbuds with great sound—and lots of problems

You'll love the strong bass and 4GB of onboard storage, but these wire-free earbuds have scads of nagging drawbacks.

Rich sound, strong bass, high volume. ; 4GB of onboard storage for music tracks. ; Wire-free design is incredibly liberating.

Control interface is imprecise and annoying. ; Battery life is alarmingly short and falls short of claims. ; Heart rate data only appears on Samsung phones.

Samsung Gear IconX

The Samsung Gear IconX is a completely wire-free pair of Bluetooth headphones with solid sound quality and the ability to track your workouts.

Seamless, simple swipe-and-tap-based operation. Built-in heart rate monitor, works with app for fitness tracking. 4GB of internal storage for music. Carrying case doubles as charging dock and portable charger.

Not for those seeking huge bass. Delay with ambient mics.

Conclusions There are currently few comparable cable-free wireless models to compare the Gear IconX with, but that will change in the coming weeks and months. The aforementioned Bragi Dash performs so similarly across the board, that at times it felt...

Samsung Gear IconX review: Impressive looking product but needs better battery life - Tech2

Samsung launched the Gear IconX earlier this year before Apple even had a chance to announce their own candy-cane like AirPods.

I absolutely love how Samsung has made this product. It looks like something from the future. A future we used to see in movies. The sounds quality is not impressive, but it is still quite good for daily usage, especially while working out. The biggest...

Samsung Gear IconX review: Wireless earbuds with great sound—and lots of problems

You might need a leap of faith to insert Samsung's Gear IconX wireless earbuds inside your ear canals. Indeed, as Note7 owners showed us over the last few months, electronics packed with lithium-ion batteries can do double-duty as incendiary devices.

Samsung's Gear Icon X heart-rate fitness earbuds are completely wireless, coming later this year

Getting fit usually means wristbands and watches, but a handful of companies are trying out ears. Samsung is now in the fitness earphone game with the Gear IconX, debuting later this year. They're small buds that combine fitness tracking with Bluetooth...

Samsung Gear IconX review: Great sounding cord-free fitness earbuds

Our Samsung Gear IconX review takes a look at a pair of cord-free fitness earbuds that can store your music and track your fitness activity without needing a smartphone nearby.

Fantastic sound ; Ability to store music ; Independent volume controls ; Accurate fitness tracking ; Drowns out the outside world nicely ; Ambient mode works great

Poor battery life ; Heart rate monitor only works with Galaxy devices ; Requires phone nearby for GPS tracking ; Music stops when removing one earbud when streaming ; Limited fitness tracking options when used by themselves ; A bit on the pricey side...
