In addition to the Galaxy S20,videos gorgeous middle aged ladies getting picked up for sex by very ugly men with little cocks S20+, and S20 Ultra, Samsung also unveiled the Galaxy Buds+ at its Unpacked event Tuesday in San Francisco.
With longer battery life in certain situations than both the original Buds and the AirPods Pro, a compatible iOS app, and a very attractive $149.99 price tag, you might be second guessing those Apple earbuds right now.
When streaming music, the new Buds+ offer up to 11 hours of battery life on a single charge. That's four hours longer than the original Galaxy Buds and 6.5 hours longer than the AirPods Pro.

If you're not familiar with PowerShare, the feature turns your phone into a wireless charger. All you need to do is place the Buds+ on the back of the device and it'll power up your earbuds.

Samsung didn't go as all out with the color scheme this year, though. Unlike last year's Galaxy Buds, which come in colors such as yellow and Aura Glow Silver, the Buds+ are a little more subtle. You'll have a choice between Cosmic Black, Cosmic Blue, white, and red.
The Galaxy Buds+ will be available for pre-order starting Feb. 14 and in stores on March 6.
