Sounds amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great. They are comfortable, and light. Noise canceling but you can still hear around you. Very clear sound. No static and if they fall out audio stops. Quality sound feels like you at a concert.

Best headphones in the market
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones for this price. I was used to BOSE audio quality ( the best) but the form factor did not accommodate to me . Just add the boost base and these buds are really out there in terms of sound. The battery lasts forever, (without exaggeration. it last a lot, i maybe recharge every other week) given that i use them only for around 2 hours daily while im at the gym.

You Won't Be Disappointed!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased Samsung Galaxy Buds Live TWS earbuds for my mom who has trouble with traditional earbuds hurting her ear holes, and doesn't like big cumbersome over-ears. And she can't be happier. The fit was perfect for her right out of the box (I tried them too, and fit well), also she thinks they are spectacular to look at with that blue. I tend to agree, except for the the shape when looking at them on table. But when in ear, they look awesome!! Sound quality is an A-, (I have the Buds Pro and those are an A+). Bass is full, but a little short on detail, and highs can come through a little shrill and thin. But the overall sound that comes out of these things is pretty amazing when you consider there is no seal with your ear holes. Your basically just blasting music at your ears, kind of like when we used to carry a boombox on your shoulder aimed at your head. I know I' old too, that was back in the late 80s, early 90s, but same concept.) Never thought of carrying one on each shoulder, WOW. Sorry, got distracted. Anyways, for two speakers the size of my finger tip, with know seal in your ears, THESE ARE AMAZING!! The only better way, is in ear. She also says these are the first headphones she can lay on her side with. Noise cancelling is as good as it can be without a seal. All in all if you have trouble or discomfort with traditional earbuds, then you can't do any better than these.

Comfort is King
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds really surprised with comfort and sound quality. For an open ear design the sound is quite good. The bass is slightly better than galaxy buds plus even without having that seal. The comfort is great. My work allows for us to wear earbuds so wearing these for long periods of time is easier than it was with my galaxy buds plus. Only negative thing I can say is that the ambient mode isn't really helpful here. I still sound like a robot in my head. You really don't need it on at all since these are open ear design. All the outside noise is piped in. There is Active noise cancelling but it is very minimal. Cancels out low frequency but high frequency noises are still very much there. Overall if you these are great. If you are ok with outside noise coming in then these are great. It is perfect for me because I need to hear my surrounding while working.

Great earbuds!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these earbuds! I also bought the Galaxy Buds2Pro and they kept falling out of my ears even when I bought aftermarket memory foam pieces. These stay in my ears, but you have to clean the speaker entry of earwax. Easily pairs with my Galaxy Tab S8+, Galaxy S22+, and my Galaxy Watch 5pro. I listen to music on my mountainbike with these buds!

Good fit, good sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These little buds work really well. They fit perfectly in my ears - I was a little worried about them coming loose. The sound is much better than my previous pair (different brand). I haven't quite gotten the hang of the tapping for different functions yet, but I also don't use them all the time. Even so, I feel they were a good investment. I also like how small the case is.

If you get it, you get it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are weird. If you're into them like I am, they're absolutely amazing. They fit my ears perfectly, the ANC is pretty good for open backs, the battery lasts the entire workday and I can just drop them on my wireless charger at night. They don't have the best fidelity, but they're decent for the price point.

Great earbuds, stay in ears, good sound, case
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great ear buds. Originally I was concerned with fit due to not having different tips for the ear canal. I've always had 1 size smaller than the other with ear buds to fit correctly. The first few hours I could feel the pressure in my smaller ear, then it went away as my ear adjusted. Now I wear multiple hours a day without any issues (driving for Bluetooth, music, etc). Sound quality is good. I'm not an audiophile, but I do like to have clear treble and decent bass. Obviously, you can get a better overall sound from Over the Ear style with bigger tweeters/speakers in headphones - but I don't always want to wear/I can't always wear that style (driving, work). The ability to use just 1 earbud helps when just doing a quick call. The case acts as both charger and battery pack reserve. I have yet to kill both ear buds and charger case in the same day. Earbuds last about 6 hours. Then case can recharge another 2 or 3 times before getting low. Both the earbuds and charger case have battery indicators in the App. Also a low battery audible signal in ear bud that is low. The App has the ability for EQ settings (dynamic, clear, bass, etc) as well as Noise Cancelation on/off. Overall, nice set of ear buds. Stay charged as long as I need. I also put buds back in case when not using. Sound quality is good for my use. They fit and stay in place (surprisingly) without any support - Includes working, walking/running, shaking head, skating.

Super Comfy and Easy to Use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the most comfortable earbuds I have worn, and they are the only pair I don't rip out as soon as I am done using them. They allow more air flow in the ear and are cooler than other buds that seal into the ear. I am not an audiophile, in that I am not that critical of sound quality, but the sound on these is very good to my unsophisticated ear. I use these with my Pixel 4XL and my Macbook. They paired super easy to the phone out of the box. The live pairing is nice. Once I looked figured out how to manually engage pairing mode, the second device paired easily. Touch controls are sensitive, but not terribly so. You can customize them in the app a bit, and that makes them better. My only complaint is about the live noise cancelling and that is mostly because I am using them "off label" so to speak. I often use headphones to block snoring from my spouse. These reduce the noise well, but pipe the snoring to a single ear and it just doesn't work for me. In all other situations the selective noise cancelling is great. You can get a similar experience for less money or with AirPods, but the comfort is tops, to me at least. User Tip: The user manual Samsung provides in the Wearable app and the Quick Start guide are super lacking in detail, but the Wearable App is pretty self explanatory, and I was able to find the answers to any questions with a quick Google.

BEST EARBUDS
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my lives so much that when my first pair started to die after 4 years of daily use i bought a brand new pair. The main wining factor for me is the confort and good sound quality. The main con would be not great noise cancelation due to them not actually pluggin your ears. But eh comfort alone wins these , as i can put then in four hours and forget about them.

Five star audio/design; doesn’t work w/iPhone
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The design is innovative and despite the bean jokes they are incredibly comfortable and fit surprisingly well. The audio is full and dynamic, and I don’t know why some users can’t hear the ANC at work but I can. Sure it isn’t the AirPods Pro level sound isolation, but it gets the job done and there is less ear fatigue. My major complaint and why it gets a three star is it utterly fails to work with iPhone. The iOS app is buggy. It won’t connect with iPhone to play music (even when it says it’s connected via the app, it doesn’t show up in Bluetooth). This is bad when you consider even closed off Apple allows their AirPods to link to Samsung devices. Part of the problem with these buds is there is no link button on charger case, a major omission. Of course it pairs seamlessly to my Samsung Tab S6 Lite. A great product...for Samsung use exclusively.

Really Want to Keep These, However.....
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 4 days, I really want to keep these, however, still not sure. I tried the Buds Plus before these, but they were uncomfortable and no matter how many combinations of wingtips/eartips I tried, they would not stay in my ears, so am trying these. I like the Buds Live much better as there is nothing jamming into my ear canal, so that's a win. They are comfortable, sound great, the app is great, but there are still two items I am hoping sort out in the next few days. 1) the right bud is not secure in my ear. I have contacted Samsung and am awaiting the Bud Sleeves--hoping this resolves the issue as I really want to keep these. 2) The Buds Plus allowed me to set touch controls to control volume AND use voice assistant. It seems I cannot have both of these functions at the same time with the Buds Live. If there is a way to do this, please advise. Not having this functionality may be a deal breaker for me, however, if right bud does not stay in ear, that is a definite deal breaker. Will update final decision.

Galaxy Buds Live
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the galaxy buds live on an impulse purchase, but actually like them a lot. They looked a bit big for my ears at first, but they fit well. Sound quality is good and they are easy to use. Overall, I am quite pleased with these.

Almost perfect, but exceptional true wireless buds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am overall very impressed with these buds. They paired seamlessly to my Galaxy S9. Sound for music quite good. Noise cancelation is not very helpful, but these buds do not cover the ear nor are they designed to make a complete seal. They are comfortable to wear. While sound quality is very good for music, the sound during a call takes some getting used to as it is a bit tinny and not completely synced between the buds. The other party can hear me clearly. I mostly use them for daily walks outside and I am thrilled with the results, no longer needing to deal with a cord connecting the buds. I have used these for more than an hour at a time, so no charge anxiety. The case recharges these buds mtiple times. The case is compact, and really nice to be able to wirelessly charge these and the case/charger using a the same qi charge pad as for my S9. The bud design is unique, they do look like beans, but they are comfortable and securely fit in my ears without fear they will fall out. The touch buttons have good sensitivity too.

Great for the first year, then problems
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones started out great. They were easy to connect to my samsung phone, and the quality was pretty good. The price was also very reasonable. The issues that i have now with the headphones is they lose connection alot, or have very choppy audio when the phone is in my pocket. This seems to be a common issue from what i've seen online. I have re-paired them to the phone, and cleaned them up.... but these issues still remain sadly. These headphones were great for the first year before they started having trouble, so i would still recommend them to someone looking for headphones, but may want to replace them after a year or 2.

Can you hear the Music in my ear
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was kept a call when I first purchased this item. Only because my ears are extremely small. But I was really shocked and surprised to see that I was able to fit them no problem. This product is extremely crystal clear so clear. I asked people if they heard the music in my ear ... This is a must buy.... 1000 percent sound quality
