I'm thinking of getting these to replace my gen 2 airpods, as I have a galaxy s10+. Are these more comfortable than the airpods? Is it worth the switch?

Do I have to charge these wirelessly or can I charge them with a cable?
edit: Can I pick these up in store? It basically asks me to check local stock but doesn't mention in store pickup during checkout.

Jabra 75ts have complete garbage silicone pieces ( the ones that go in your ear), and a lot of people have to buy aftermarket ones. You'd figure an almost $300 dollar pair of buds would come with something you wouldn't have to switch.
Even though it's an cheap fix I returned them based on principle.

Just got these at the Samsung website for the same price a couple days ago. They're fantastic, I kinda wish I got them from the source though, cause I heard they have good warranty service
I was actually going to buy the surface buds, but they had really bad reviews
The Galaxy buds, sync very quickly to my phone, has some neat options like ambient noise and sound options for the genre of music you prefer, like extra bass for hip-hop music, and their pretty comfortable. They just may not have as many features as other wireless headphones, but at this price, there probably isn't anything comparable on the market.
I did a 5k run with them yesterday, and they felt great. Highly recommend
Actually one gripe, is that the touch controls suck compared to other earphones. Pause, play and skip track. Otherwise it's better to pull out your phone for pretty much anything else. I know you can customise controls but ehh

Anyone own a pair of these?
How are they when you go running, do they stay in your ear? And does sweat destroy it?

Several different size tips so you will find your size. Sweat is no issue - gym was ok and summer heat has been a-ok.
