Samsung Galaxy Buds+ specifications and features
To recall the specs, the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ feature AKG-tuned two-way speakers and three microphones on each earbud.

The accessory has a dual-driver audio setup and is IPX2 rated for splash and sweat resistance. Thanks to the Bluetooth 5 connectivity, the wearable can be paired with multiple devices.
As for the other specs, the Galaxy Buds+ have touchpads on both the earbuds. You can use them to play, pause, and skip songs, apart from controlling the volume. You can also use the same to control audio playback on the Spotify app. Each of the earbuds has an 85mAh battery, which is said to provide 11 hours of usage on a single charge. The wireless charging case of the Galaxy Buds+ has a 270mAh battery. Lastly, with the battery from the charging case combined, the accessory is capable of providing up to 22 hours of usage on a single charge.
