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.
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.
