Our Verdict

Samsung Galaxy Buds Truly Wireless

Sabbat E12 True Wireless

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Truly Wireless are better truly wireless headphones than the Sabbat E12 True Wireless. They're more comfortable, more stable, and offer a better overall sound quality, on top of having a decent app where you can customize their sound a bit and have access to mappable controls, including volume controls. Their fit also isolates better against ambient noise, and they have a noticeably longer battery life.
