Hi anyone else has similar issue with galaxy buds pro? Everytime I used them (no matter the duration or how clean I wipe them up or the kinds of tips I used foam or silicon) I will have ear infection. Have already spent a few hundreds on a ENT specialist :(

I had a mild infection from in-ears some years back, so I switched to headphones.

Been using the Buds Pro for a few months, have no ear infections whatsoever.

no issues on live buds, so probably is due to your ear sensitivity / reaction to the silicon attached to the buds.

Do remember also to keep your earbuds clean and free from earwax or other dirt. I clean mine after every use, and that’s the same for my other TWS earbuds.

I think your ear is sensitive to the foam or silicon buds. try other alternative....

I had it on other ANC based earbuds. Maybe you can try Latex based ear tip?
It somewhat worked for me.

I am intending to use the redemption voucher from the pre-order for the Galaxy Buds 2 ( for someone else ).
I saw someone mentioned it and found this thread.

Would appreciate for more feedback whether having issue or not for the range of Galaxy Buds. TIA.

Just to feedback, apparently, the Galaxy Buds don't seem to have this issue despite the contacts being corroded and also the body having significant wear.

I guess the TS has got ears that's sensitive to silicone.
I had used the buds, buds+ and buds2 before all no issue.

IMHO.
TS mention that swap foam or silicone still the same.
After much "internet research", it could be also allergy/sensitivity to nickel and acrylate.
I have seen a pair of buds that have corrosion on the contacts ( poor maintenance ) and wear on the body.
My guess is that if the versions are the original buds are to made better, they amount of these two components may have increased.

Thanks for sharing you have no issues with those versions.
