Sold by 3rd party , so i dont know how warranty will work as 3rd party might be selling out of country versions as well.

Afaik there's only one version of each of the buds, it's not like they have one with Snapdragon and one with Exynos chipsets like phones for different markets.

Even though it's 3rd party you still have Amazons return policy.

I bought a original samsung wireless charger from Amazon 3rd party and fulfilled by Amazon. After 5 months , it stopped working i called samsung and they asked for serial number and samsung told me this is not canadian verison and we cant fulfill the warranty. So i got no clue how they figured that out.

Yes the chargers for some reason seem to be region specific.

When the 45W fast chargers came out I was trying to buy one from the US and ship it here but no retailer was allowing it to be shipped to Canada, haven't seen the same issue with the Buds as they don't come with a wall plug, just the cable and accessories.

EDIT: Non-Plus Model.

Visions refused pm for me, said it didn't meet all their conditions but did not specify which condition it did not meet

Online or in person? They price matched online for me.

Oneplus buds seems a much better deal than samsung earbuds.

With the new Galaxy Buds Live just launched https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile-audio ... buds-live/, would you get the plus or live?

I got the Buds+ a couple of weeks ago from this deal and will probably use them and sell the Buds Live that come with the Note 20 Ultra pre-order.

I'm not the biggest fan of the design but not 100% sure yet.

They have a chart comparing plus and live (https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile-audio ... e/compare/). It is available on the Canadian website costs $250 https://www.samsung.com/ca/wearables/ga ... 80NZNAXAC/.

Just received my Buds+ from Visions. I am a happy camper! They are light like airpods, but I love the extra functionality that comes with a fully Android compatible product.

Sounds better and noise isolation helps. Good fit out of the box. Battery life is amazing.

Waiting for reviews of the Galaxy Bud Live before making a decision

Much worse sound and no wireless charging

Wireless is completely useless and unnecessary.

How do you know that the sound is much worse when reviewers are saying that they are on pair with airpods, let alone samsung buds

Cause airpods sound like crap. Nobody said they are comparable to pro, which is where buds+ sit in tonality with different sound signature where one may prefer one over other.

I think it is wise to wait for reviews and not throw away money.
Oneplus buds , based on their rep, can easily outmatch or at least be on pair with Samsung's or Apple's offering.
Their 50$ cheaper too.

Just setup my wifes buds plus. Right side DOA. She loves the left side though.
