Seperate Gear IconX Plugin needed for Android 8.1+
I'm in two minds about the Samsung Gear Icon X. On the one hand, they're not as refined as the AirPods and lack the audio quality to make them a recommended set. They also don't seem to play well outside of Samsung's ecosystem.On the other hand, if you'r...
Samsung Gear IconX 2018 is a lot better than the company's older generation wireless earbuds. From impressive sound quality to ease of use, Gear IconX 2018 stands out from the competition. Currently, the device is available online for much cheaper at Rs...
Should you buy the Gear IconX (2018)? Well, Rs 13,990 may look like a lot of money for a Bluetooth headphone, but it's not something that the mass audience will buy. The premium headphones are for the ones who want truly wireless freedom and have the kind...

Dynamic sound, Ambient sound adjustment to hear the outside world, Secure fit during exercise, Lots of features
Touch controls are fiddly at times, Connection not perfect, No built-in heart-rate sensor limits fitness potential
The Icon X offers a tonne of features and decent dynamic sound, making them among the most versatile wire-free in-ear earphones on the market.Saying that, they're not perfect. The touchpad controls are tricky, while the connection glitched every now and t...

Onboard storage, Better battery life
Average audio quality, Poor iOS compatibility, Overly snug fit
The Samsung Gear IconX 2018 is an improvement on battery life compared to what Samsung had launched previously, but still leaves a couple of things that need to be checked out properly. There's the overly-sensitive touch controls, the overly snug fit, and...
