Each earpiece has three microphones with two on the outer while one on the inside of the earpiece. Along with these it also comes with a separate voice pickup unit and a windshield.
For detailed sound, the earbuds have a two-way driver system that combines an 11mm woofer with a 6.5mm tweeter within the driver casing. The features of the buds can be further customized using the Galaxy Wearable companion app. The app lets users adjust the equalizer, active noise cancellation settings, and much more.

The company also claims the buds can cut the external background noise by up to 99%. There are also 4 adjustable levels of noise cancellation as well.

The earbuds have several features designed to work best with Samsung Galaxy devices. Both smartphones, as well as tablets, work better with earbuds. There is a new ‘auto-switch’ feature that allows the earphones to maintain a simultaneous connection with two Galaxy devices. This allows users to easily switch between in situations such as when music is being played through the tablet while a call comes then using this feature the user can easily switch devices.
