Rock solid, works really well with Android (ofc), iPhone and my Windows 10 desktop. Would be nice to have mute as one of the touch options (couldn't find it in the app) but not a huge issue. Would just be nice to mute calls in teams on my phone using the touch controls. That's really just nit-picky though. These things are the *first* buds (including apple standard, various jbl/jabra and beats buds) that don't hurt my ears after using it for hours. It doesn't make a solid close so you can still hear outside noises and bass can be a little muted at times but you don't get these kind of buds for the bass. The biggest selling points of these? Since buying these refurbs about a month or so ago, they've been through a good 25-30 hours of Microsoft Teams meetings on various devices. I love these things and considering purchasing a second pair for my wife. Pros: * Perfect fit for my medium-small odd shaped ears * Stays in despite me moving around or reaching above me. * Great distance from my phone/tablet/desktop without issues * Easy to setup and use in Android, iOS/iPadOS & Windows 10 (likley others) * Qi Charging and USB-C on the case is a great touch * Touch controls work great for me, just take a little to get used to. * You can use the left bud, right bud or both buds as needed - so many of the ones I had previously had problems with this (jabra). Cons: * No microphone mute feature on the touch controls (unless i'm missing it) - would be nice for meetings * Don't make a solid ear seal so other noise can bleed in, doesn't bug me though. * Not ip-rated for waterproof, not recommended for those working out building a huge amount of sweat or dropping in water. Fine by me though. I was worried about getting earbuds through the Geek Squad Certified program but these came looking brand new and the battery lives up to it's specs. Quite happy with these!

Excellent sound on the galaxy live buds. Upgraded sound from the original galaxy buds I had. Great bass, tremble, clear voices, good mids. Love the app accessibility, and live active noise cancellation, comfortable, forget I have them in my ears, where as the first pair of buds I had my ears always ached after being placed in ear for some time. Still getting that snug Samsung fit, no worries about my new buds flying out my ears, they fit just as tight as the others which is great. The box also came with an extra ear adapter piece if needed for size, and a charging wire. The case feels more durable and sleek, also has the option to be wireless charged from a phone that has that feature wireless power share. I love the new bean shaped galaxy buds live, and would recommend buying them.

I absolutely love how these earbuds sound and feel. I can wear them and also hear things happening around me, so they're great for walking (or running) in areas where you still need to pay attention to your surroundings. They do fall out quite easily though, so I bought some larger silicone rubber pieces (see photo, left is original, right has the larger silicone piece) so they now fit more snugly in my ear and work great! Compared to other samsung earbuds I've used, these are the better option if you want to hear your surroundings.

Bought these Geek Squad refurbished. They sound great. I have gen 2 airpods. Comparing them, they both sound amazing. The Galaxy Buds have more base than the airpods. But the Airpods sound a bit more clear. Overall i'm very happy with both. Reason i got the galaxy buds is because i own a Galaxy Note 10. Another thing i noticed is, the Galaxy buds cut out at a shorter distance than the Airpods. The Airpods have better range without a doubt. The Galxy buds are not as comfortable as the Airpods. But you can't go wrong with either or. If you have a Samsung Phone, go for these. If you own an iPhone, your better of with the Airpods, no question. I pair both my Airpods and Galaxy Buds with my Surface Pro 7 which has BT 5.0. Also my LG CX is BT 5.0.

If your upgrading from the galaxy buds don't expect same quality at least in noise canceling as well as noise leakage. The sound is great and I love the fit. If you aren't getting a good fit try to the other tips in the box. Overall imo galaxy buds are better but these aren't bad.
