    Sounds good but not perfect

    Posted .

    I haven't had wireless earbuds in sometime, but have been guilty of using my girlfriend's airpod pro. 1st off what I like about the samsung live is that size, it's compact, comfortable and in terms of the sound (mids/high) works extremely well. Haven't tested out the battery length just because I'm not constantly worrying them this was more for a joint occasional music and picking up phone calls (more about the phone call later). If you happy to be an Xfinity customer you'll be pleasantly surprised to know that you can pair your live to your x1 4k dvr and enjoy tv without disturbing anyone in the home. What I dont like, compared the the airpod pro the bass sounds weaker (makes sense it's over the ear, rather than in your ear canal). While speaking on calls at time I get a little distortion on the right live, and at time seems to cut in and out. Also while they are small and compact, the touch sensitivity is a pain. When you up the case and take them out to place them in your ear, your almost guaranteed to activate music or whatever setting you have placed onto it. While you can block touch features, it's something that I wouldn't want to do since I like controlling the volume from my live. All in all I'll give them a week or two and will either keep them or return them.

    Takes some time for ears to adjust

    The first two weeks of usage made me want to quit on them. Im in the small percentage when I write this but hopefully others will see. These buds were aching my ears in discomfort for those two weeks because of its unique shape and I had only used Airpods before this. However and thankfully after those two weeks the discomfort went away. These are amazing open ear style buds that still allow me to hear. Ive had them now for a few months and Ive had no issues with them in terms of discomfort. The one big issue is the touch controls. There are times when the taps arent recognized the way I input them. A single tap to pause will register as a double and a double as a triple and a triple as a double. I know theres a tempo to it but even doing it right it wont register. That is my only issue with them and other than that they are great if you get over the initial discomfort.

    I love my buds live.

    I have owned all the Samsung buds. I really like the fit very comfortable. I like that my ears are not plugged all the time. Like my buds plus. And I have not had to take them out to wipe them down. Because of a little ear wax. (I clean my buds every night) Because they would feel like they were about to fall out. Call quality is great. Music sound great as well. Samsung once again is is leading the way. For others to try and follow. Thank you Samsung. A Samsung customer for life. P.S No wonder Samsung has so many haters. Always taking there products to the next level.

    Okay, I had a bit of a love hate relationship with these when I first got them. I have small ears, these buds were the ones that officially made me realize that haha. The sound quality and battery life are great on these, I just couldn’t keep them from falling out of my tiny lil ear holes to continue using them. Fortunately my boyfriend has been loving them! They fit his ears very nicely even without the attachments. His one complaint is they are a bit of a wax/oil magnet, so it’s best to just do a quick wipe everytime you take them out if you can.

    Amazing! The fit is perfect, the sound is perfect, and it doesn't have the rubber insert that other headphones have. I think it is a great competitor to the iphone headphones. I have broken and lost many of these (I Travel a lot), and I keep buying the Buds Live over and over again.

    Solid Earbuds

    I prefer these to the previous Buds iteration. For me the open design fits better than the enclosed versions that other buds use. What I like about these is that they don't obnoxiously stick out like the other designs out there. For me they are quite comfortable and sit well in my ear. The sound is surprisingly good too, I've haven't tried other brands so I don't have much to compare to. But the sound is clear and bass strong. It really helps if you personalize your sound through your phones settings to get more out of them if you're displeased with the out-of-the-box experience. My only gripe with them is the placement of the touch controls. The sensor is right where you normally go to adjust the placement of the beans to get the speaker facing properly. You also may accidentally touch them and stop music or what you're watching. After a while you get used to it and learn not to touch the area but it can get annoying if you do.

    These are perfect for me. Connection with my Note10+ is flawless, battery life is great, sound quality is extremely good. Great full range sound with heavy bass when listening to songs with heavy bass and better overall sound quality than AirPods. Range is good, but a few feet less than airpods. I use these mainly at the gym and while running, they fit my ears very well and dont budge, but when letting my mother and brother try them we found they didnt fit in their (much smaller) ears so thats something to consider. The active noise canceling is good, but mainly blocks low-end sound like the hum of a central AC or rumble of a car exhaust, doesnt do much for stuff like a vacuum, clanking weights, or any other hissing type noise. Overall well worth the money and I'd recommend and buy again

    A top tier product, galaxy buds live are so seamlessly compatible with samsung's products. The noise canceling is effective and the base is powerful. It's easy to enjoy an immersive musical experience. I can use these for a good 8-12 hrs before i need a charge!

    BLUF: Great fit & comfort, never fall out, small size, good battery life, good sound, great mic quality for calls I’ve been looking to replace my last set of earbuds (Razer Hammerhead - awful customer support) and I find any in-ear buds uncomfortable and itchy after about an hour max. I wanted something comfortable with good mics for phone calls. I saw a lot of negative reviews that these fell out of people’s ears, but it couldn’t have been worse than the Razer ones. So glad I tried these because they haven’t fallen out once. I’ve worn them for hours at work (I’m in an open work area) and no discomfort. These aren’t going to block out all sound, but that wasn’t my goal. I use them at a fairly low volume and can hear just enough around me to notice when someone is talking to me

    “Samsung, Please never discontinue this design”

    First off, these are not the kind of headphones that will knock your socks off. If you didnt catch that indication by the price, then thats me saying it. However, these are the kind of headphones that have decent sound, subpar Active Noise Cancelation, and in my opinion, a perfect design that executes a simple fit that i have yet to see anywhere else on the market. I have tested Beats, other Samsung models, Airpods (base and pro), and more… and the only model that came remotely close to ear-fit without fatigue over extended use were the AirPods Pro 2 closely followed by the Pixel Buds Pro. These are simple, they’re pleasing to the eye - while also taking on the approach of almost being unnoticeable depending on the color you get. These are one of my favorite models when it comes to easy use and convenient fit. As I said the audio won’t blow you away but it’s also not something that you’re going to regret buying either. And I won’t bore you with all the technical jargon as most people in this price range are just looking for a decent pair of earbuds that aren’t a waste of money. And considering these used to be up in the high $100’s and have since dropped due to other models that Samsung has brought forth, I would say these are a great buy! As I said they do have subpar active noise cancellation. If you’re looking for premiere ANC then go with AirPods Pro or Sony’s WF/XM4’s. But let’s be honest, that wasn’t the main goal of these buds and with that being stated you can forgive the lack of exceptional clarity when blocking out unwanted noise. Personally I leave the ANC off, especially when I found out, by experience, that it’s just better to leave them off and gain some extra battery life. On that note, the battery life is adequate. I don’t use both buds at the same time very much because 9 times out of 10 I need to have an ear free for various reasons. But even so, they do a good job at not needing to be constantly in the case. The battery within the case is pretty good as well and the fact that it has USB-C brings on one more added benefit when matching to modern standards. I’ve used these via smart TV’s, laptops, Samsung phone, OnePlus and Pixel Phones, as well as the ubiquitous iPhone and there are no complications across any of those devices. Obviously they’re a little more cohesive with any Samsung Phone, but not enough that I would discourage you if you own any of the other branded phones. With all of this being said, I truly hope that Samsung never retires this design. Obviously this particular model will eventually be discontinued BUT I hope they offer a Galaxy Buds Live 2 before that happens, retaining the exact same design with some updated internal specs. I would be surprised if the majority of you didn’t find these buds to be the perfect match for what you’re looking for. They’re a mid-range model while slowly falling to budget-range pricing. At the very least, try them out and see if they’re worth it for you and your set of expectations.

    Purchased these for my son. He's a Samsung guy so these paired and worked flawlessly with his S whatever. Great battery life and excellent sound without any kind of distortion. Clear highs and mids with surprisingly tight bass (all via my son). Well worth a look.

    The earbuds have been great. I don't have to deal with the feeling of having something poking my ear canal while offering great sound. This is the second pair I purchased like this and wish Samsung would keep this style instead of following the trend to allow for options for different ear types.

    These are my absolute go too. Most comfortable and longest lasting battery life. I usually use these at work, and one bud will last me almost an entire 8 hours. The sound quality is pretty great. I recommend this for sure. 5/5.

    So comfortable and with active noise cancellation. The app makes them usable on IOS as well as Android. They don’t fall out while not inserting into my ear canal making my ears sore like others that push in.

    These earbuds are great, if you can get them to fit your ear well. Unfortunately I couldn't get them to stay snugly in my ear for long periods (4-5 hours) without feeling discomfort. This was a HUGE factor in my return. I owned them for about 20 days before deciding to return them. I was hoping I'd grow accustomed to them but I just couldn't. That doesn't mean they're bad, they just aren't for me. Here's a few things I noticed during my time owning them. The ANC is really just a gimmick. It does help drown out a few deep tones but it not worth the battery life sacrifice and you can barely tell it's on. The older generation buds do a much better job of blocking out ambient noise. As far as audio quality goes, they sound decent. I definitely like them more than my girlfriend's airpods, but I still found myself reaching for my old Galaxy Buds anytime I wanted to listen to music while working. This is just my personal preference, I know there are plenty of people that love these buds. Where this really shines though is when you'd like to have music playing in the background while still being aware of your surroundings. While wearing these, it's easy to carry on a conversation without feeling a need to take them out. I found myself reaching for them anytime I was out shopping since I never had to remove them at the register to hear the cashier. The charging case is just as terrible as the rest of the galaxy buds line up. There is no locking mechanism, so a simple drop from waist high will cause this thing to explode like a grande and send you to your knees looki g for your missing buds. So long as you know this, you can just take a bit of caution to prevent dropping them. As a Note 10+ owner, I found that they sync pretty well with multiple devices. They pair just like a Galaxy Watch/Galaxy Buds, and can switch seemlesly between galaxy devices. I was able to switch between my Note 10+ and my Tab S6 with ease. It would be nice to have them pair to both simultaneously, but I understand why they can't. To switch between them, it's as easy as clicking devices (smart things) in the notification panel and selecting the earbuds. You can also have them paired to your phone and use your phone to tell them to switch to another previously paired device which is pretty handy. Battery life on these were great. They use Samsung's new chipset which handles battery consumption really well. I never had then die on me even after using them for an entire 9 hour work day. I really do recommend them, I just can't own them myself due to fitment. They fit my girlfriend's ears wonderfully and she said they fit snuggly without even feeling like they're there. Hopefully their next pair works out for me, but until then I'll stick with my Galaxy Buds.

    Good phones, strange software

    The headphones seem to work well. I rode on several days of airline travel and they do a good job of substantially cutting down the engine noise and I can hear movies very clearly. Music sounds good. My ears often hurt with headphones squeezing into them but these have been comfortable for many hours of continuous use, they don't hurt and I forget they are there. Do be sure you are taking the time to fit them properly, it was a little different than other earbuds I've used. Battery life is great, I watched a number of movies with noise canceling on, and just put the buds back in the wireless case and they charged right back up quickly. I went days without charging the case and it never stopped charging the earbuds. The complaint I have is about pairing them and the software. The software seems good, and I like being able to use it to adjust sound properties, but I wish it integrated better with my iPhone. Pairing both earbuds took several tries and I was initially frustrated. I haven't tried un-pairing them and pairing them to something else, I assume I will have the same issues. Overall great for sound, noise cancellation, battery life and comfort. A little annoyed with pairing and software (wish I didn't have to use it) but has been OK once I did it the first time.

    From sound to battery life it’s all around great. I wanted to replace my Air pods because of the horrible battery life and they don’t stay in my ear. I didn’t want to leave Apple but so glad I did! I’m a longtime fan of all things Apple. But these Samsung galaxy earbuds are great! They fit well without adding tape (what I did to make Air pods fit). Sound is good and you don’t feel like you’re ears are water logged(like with Bose earbuds). I’ve had the Samsung earbuds for almost a month and still haven’t had to charge them. The design is awesome and I especially love the blue ones. The only downside is the price, but they’re still cheaper than the Air pods.

    The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live are a great pair of wireless earbuds that offer excellent sound quality, comfort, and features. They have a unique bean-shaped design that makes them comfortable to wear for extended periods of time, and the active noise cancellation helps to block out background noise so you can focus on your music. The sound quality is also excellent, with deep bass and clear highs. The Galaxy Buds Live also come with a built-in microphone, so you can use them to make calls or talk to your phone's assistant. Overall, I would give the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live a 5-star rating. They are a great pair of wireless earbuds that offer a lot of value for the price.

    Love the color and unique design. I bought these knowing they will not block out all exterior sound/noise. I have a hard time wearing the traditional in ear canal "pods/buds" for more than 15minutes, these can stay in for at least an 1-2 hours without bothering me. The sound, charge time and usage, and case are all good. Can take a bit of practice to get them in correctly and touch controls can be sensitive but I believe that is true for all wireless in ear headphones as they are so small.
