Samsung ESC01
Its 24-bit/96kHz Hi-Res audio over USB-C delivers clear, detailed sound and deep bass from a dynamic driver without needing a battery. Weighing just 32g and water-resistant, the earbuds include an inline mic and remote for full playback and call control across a broad range of devices. They suit budget-minded Samsung Galaxy and iPhone 15/16 users seeking a wired backup for media, but with a 28.9 call quality score, they aren't built for frequent voice calls.
