Whats the difference between the normal galaxy buds and these? (Other than the shape obviously) null

These are open-back earbuds, so will provide a more natural sound. For me, it was a notable difference, but your mileage may vary. They also offer have active noise reduction, though it is not the deadening of the outside world you get with over-ear headphones. It's a subtle effect, so if ANR is your primary interest, I'd hesitate to suggest these. I have the original Galaxy Buds and these Galaxy Buds Live, and they are enough of an improvement to suggest them over the originals.

One consideration for these is the fit. I have had these for about a month, and I'm still not able to consistently get them in my ears perfectly on the first attempt. They are an... untraditional design, and it may take some time to get used to them. On the other hand, my wife uses them more than I do, and she praises how secure they are in her ears, where the original Galaxy Buds frequently fell out of her ears. 

If the subtle ANC or the eye-catching design isn't important to you, I'd probably recommend the Galaxy Buds+ as the better everyday option from Samsung's line.

To me as far as call volume or quality none, but as for listening to music the buds live almost had me thinking I had a full size headphones on.
