Absolutely subjective, but I did enjoy then better after a brief listen. Also tbh overall experience of using Buds+ is quite bad, controls are a nightmare.

With the value, it's all down to how much does one value the extra features I guess. It's less about audio and more about convenience, that's why airpods are so popular. (altho apparently the Pros sound great)

Tbh sound wise I bet they are worse than Anker buds that are like $30 (which are better than Samsung Buds + which are one of best in the $100 category from the reviews I've seen). Then there's ANC, wireless chargin and interesting-but-nothing-special design which add some subjective value, but for me it's absolutely not worth the difference in price. As long as they are not super fragile, build quality doesn't matter tbh - all of them have a 2/3 year expiration date.
