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.

I also have the same issue.  Just received my new buds pro in the mail yesterday and I can not wear it for more then 5 min before the irritation start.  I know I am not allergic to latex, I tried to wipe down/clean the buds with no help.  I also have the Jabra Active 75T, Bose Quiet Comfort with no issue at all.   I purchase this buds because this allow me either wear either the right or left earbud unlike the other manufacture.

Prior to getting the Buds Pro, I used the Iconx earbuds with no problems.   I purchased these when I bought the Galaxy S21+ in January.     Most recently, I have noticed every time I wear them, within an hour of taking them out, my right ear is extremely itchy and red and within a day, there was an infection.   I thought at first something scratched my ear canal so I waited until the scab healed and the itching stopped.    I tried them again after a week and half and within an hour of taking them out, my ear is red and itchy.    I never had any issues with an allergy with the Iconx.    I want to like the Bud Pros but it's not worth the pain I experience for days after wearing.

I sent a private message with all of the information.  Hopefully we can resolve this issue because the earbuds cannot be worn.

I have the same issue.  Over a hundred posts, in multiple threads, of people with allergic reactions to these earbuds.  Support keeps saying "contact us we will help".  NOT ONE consumer has replied that samsung has fixed their issue.  Sounds like a serious material defect with these, with no solution from Samsung insight.  Buyer beware.

I have the same issue. Galaxy buds pro. Been using them and now developed itchy ears, crusty, lots of clear yellow fluid discharge.  This is a serious health issue and i am very concerned now.<edit>
