Pretty simple question. Which would you recommend? I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 rn. Probably gonna get either an S11 or OnePlus 7T Pro when I upgrade. I'm only asking because the JBLs made it to the top 4 in James' wireless headphone roundup and are about the same price as the Galaxy Buds in the UK.

I have the galaxy buds and use them on a daily basis. They work as well as you'd expect. Really good battery life. I like that I can wirelessly charge them and they come in a small pocketable form factor. I run with them on and they stay in just fine. Sound Quality is fine but for £130 is not great, I got them free with my S10+ but think if I had paid for them separately  I would be disappointed with the sound. I never take calls with them but have only heard bad things about the mic so if you plan on taking calls often I would stay away.

I would expect the JBLs to sound better although have no experience with them
