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.

My son had the issue. We thought it was due to an allergy to latex or silicone in the buds.

I've got the Buds Live and my ear itches so bad after 10 or so minutes. To the point where I have to take the ear bud out and rub my ear. These are the only headphones I have ever had an issue with.

It is a known issue globally. In Korea, Samsung announced in May that they would give a full refund and treatment cost to all the customers having ear infections due to wearing Galaxy Buds Pro. I have had two ear infections, but here In USA, they offered me only $96 in refund, because I bought with the Phone trade-in Credit, which doesn't make any sense to me. You should call the customer service and file a claim

I see everyone post about the allergic reactions that I am currently experiencing! (ITCHY, BURNING,LEAKING, and skin flaking). I tried replacing the tips with foam ones from what I read and it didn't work. I also read something about nickel allergies??? When i first got the reaction I stopped using them for a month to let my ears heal and went back to my old galaxy buds. No problem. but when i tried using them again the problem came back. WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM!?!?!? no one has posted what caused it and the solution after complaining about it. Should I just stop getting samsung buds and go with a different brand?

I have been experiencing the same ear irritation, scabs, and discharge as others from wearing Samsing buds pro. Had to go to the doctor to get treated. I only have an allergic reaction to these specific buds, and have went back to using the Samsung buds plus. Hope Samsung learns from everyone misfortune.
