Galaxy Buds Series allergic reaction

JoeE2009 — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 13:59:17 GMT

I, like so many others, am having severe issues with my ears after wearing my Buds Pro. I awoke this morning at 3:30 with very wet ears. They also are very itchy.

This is the second time this has happened. The first time I had the same symptoms. But, after my ears began to heal, the flaking and extreme itching began. I noticed it began not long after wearing them. I discontinued use.

Last night, I wanted to try again. I wiped down the silicone tips with alcohol. I wore them for roughly 10 minutes and here we are. Wide awake on a work day with awful symptoms.

I own multiple Samsung devices. My televisions (2), 4K UHD Bluray, sound bar and surround sound, phones, tablets and I just bought the Galaxy Book Go. I love that I can connect everything. Needless to say, I am disappointed in the Buds.

What can be done to make this right? Thank you.

Has anyone else bought different earbud tips than the original ones? My ears have been itching & are sore because of an allergic reaction. I think it's the tips. I'd like them to still allow the earbuds to fit in the case.

wearing ear buds for too long can give you a yeast infection. check with your doctor

I only wore them for about an hour for a few days in a row. I did go to the doctor after my ears were very sore & was prescribed antibiotic eardrops. Other earbuds have not caused this reaction. I'm looking to try some other tips that are not silicone. I do want them to fit into the case for charging, though.

I really like the foam tips from Comply and the custom ones fit perfectly in the case and allow charging. You may need to wash your silicone tips in rubbing alcohol/water solution and let dry completely.

I found the Comply ones on Amazon but some of the reviews say the M & L sizes don't allow the earbuds to charge in their case. Have you had that problem?

I've tried all sizes to try best fit. They all fit perfectly in case. Make sure to buy the ones that are specifically for your model. As well, Comply direct purchases have a much better fit/ return policy.

Galaxy Buds Pro tips - allergic reaction

Hello,

I just got the Galaxy Buds Pro, they seem to be causing an allergic reaction in my ear. Has anyone else had this issue? If so what can be done to keep it from happening?

What are the earbuds tips made from? I believe it's the tip of the buds that are causing the problem, not bulk of the speaker housing.

Galaxy earbuds Pro - tips are causing pain and allergic reaction in the ears

I just bought new galaxy earbuds pro and the tips are causing pain and allergic reaction in my ears which never happened before. Anyone faced similar problems?

I noticed the tips causing what felt like a burning sensation in my ear. I believe the cause is the buds slowly sliding out while the tips try to hold them in. I tried the smaller tips and those caused less to no irritation.

It happens with me too!
First starts with Galaxy Buds. After 5 months of intensive use (5h a day for 5/7 days), suddenly my ears started to get wet and inflamed! Then dry skin patches appeared. I stopped using them for about 10 days, the symptoms disappeared. I started using Buds again, then the symptoms reappeared :(!
As a result, I sold Buds and bought Buds +. They had the same problem. The same thing happens with Buds Live and Hu_awei FreeBuds3 ...!

I found in the Apple forum that this phenomenon is often observed by their buds ...!
There are ~700 users with a similar problem ((

No issues here. I found them extremely comfortable for long wear. First I heard of any reactions.

Same for me, just with the Buds Pro though.

Owned the Buds Plus and Original Buds and used them constantly without issues.

has replacing the tips with foam tips made a difference for anyone?

I've been having the same problems with my Galaxy Buds+: itching, burning, moisture buildup in outer ear, flaky skin. I love them, but I had to stop using them because symptoms start within a minute or two.
