Very nice review. I actually have mine coming in the next few days. Haven't been this excited for a product in a while. Did you notice any drop out or de-sync when playing directly from the headphones?

Also do you have a PC you are able to test pairing with? I'd highly doubt there's anyway for that to work considering the tech

Edit: I only need the left one to function with a PC, I can only have one earbud in due to the nature of my job

You can use them without your phone after setting up. So you can transfer music to the ear buds and start a workout from the ear buds. When you get within bluetooth range of your phone, the data is then synced to S Health.
very cool I guess the battery is the only downside but the charging case helps mitigate this issue.

For anyone curious, you can pair these to a computer but only one connected at a time. They show up as 2 separate bluetooth devices. Make sure to disable bluetooth on your phone when you're doing it so the app doesn't auto pair back

Edit: Apparently that's incorrect. When you pair the primary bud to the computer, the secondary earbud will auto connect to that one and you will get stereo sound from the computer. Has about a 400ms delay so need to adjust for that in video playback

Edit 2: The mic's also work for video chat

Have you got the ear buds in the case? Connected the micro USB lead with the OTG correctly to your phone. Then using the Samsung Gear Manager, using the music option you can transfer music across. This is for locally stored music either on the internal or micro SD card, not music downloaded from the cloud using Google Play.

Charging Case Storage Question

I have been using the Samsung Gear IconX with my S7 until my Note 7 arrives and love them despite a few failings.

Put a review together https://gavinsgadgets.com/2016/08/1...adphones-with-no-cables-a-heart-rate-monitor/

Any questions just ask on here.
Sir, I have a question (and already apologize if ever you think it's a dumb one). I'm just curious as to how we're supposed to properly store the earbuds. I mean, after the light flashes green for both buds, do I just keep the lid of the charging case closed and leave them in there? Or do I need to take them out? Thank you in advance for any reply/help.

Correct, you store them in the case with the lid closed. This way it keeps them topped up, and when recharged, stops charging them.
Thank you so much, sir! This puts my mind at ease. I've recently been leaving the lid open every time both earbuds get topped up because I didn't have proper knowledge as to whether to keep the lid opened or closed after charging. Also, because when I asked the same question from the chat they have in the Samsung PH site, they told me to leave it open after the earbuds get charged. tsk tsk
