Tap to play or pause a track, double tap to skip a song, or swipe up or down to adjust the volume. Once paired, you can control your audio with a series of gestures on the IconX. The Samsung Gear app lets you upload music to the IconX, as well as monitor battery levels Even though there’s a Samsung Health app for iOS, it’s not currently compatible with the IconX. However, with an iOS device, you have a much more limited set of functions which is a bit of a disappointment.

When pairing to an Android phone, you’ll be prompted to install the Samsung Gear app to manage the earphones, as well as Samsung Health to monitor your fitness goals. The IconX offers Android users more features than when paired with an iOS device, and as expected you’ll get the best usage from pairing it with a Samsung phone. To pair the IconX with your smartphone, you simply open the case and the device will be ready for pairing. Personally, we just prefer to tell it when we’re working out rather than leaving it to chance. There’s also an Auto Tracking mode that automatically starts tracking your activity once you’ve been walking or running for more than ten minutes. Or if you’ve got a Samsung phone, you can directly plug the IconX into it using the supplied cable.

There’s 4GB of onboard storage to play around with, and you can transfer music for a PC or Mac, or wirelessly through Bluetooth. What we absolutely do love about the IconX is the ability to transfer music directly to the device, which means you can grab these for a run and leave your phone at home so you don’t get disturbed. There are a number of different eartips and wings to ensure a better in-ear fit The IconX will still measure distance and speed when you’re walking or running by using the built-in accelerometer, but that’s about it. The heart rate monitor has been axed from the new IconX, which is probably for the best as it wasn’t the most accurate. Included in the box are a number of ear tips and wings, which will help you get the most comfortable fit when placing the earphones in your ears.
You’ll need to carry the case around if you need to pair the IconX with a new device The case is a bit bulky to jam into your pocket if you want to keep your earphones charged on the go, but is fine to throw into a backpack or handbag. Yes, you’ll need to have the case with you to pair these earphones with a device, which is bizarre.

At the back there’s a USB-C port for charging the case, as well as a small button that turns on Bluetooth pairing. So if you accidentally drop the case (like we did several times), then it will most likely snap open, and your precious earphones will come tumbling out.Īt the front of the case are two LEDs which will change from red to green when your earphones have been fully charged. The earphones fit snugly into the case, but there’s no magnetic support to keep them secure. You get three colors to choose from – black, grey, or pink, and they come in a pill-shaped carry case that also doubles as a charger for the earphones when you’re out and about. Design-wise, not much has changed from the original IconX.
