    Pretty Good So Far

    I purchased these with the black Friday deal. I'm going to hit on a few key points I've noticed so far, and update as needed. Fit: These fit a thousand times better than any other earbud I've tried. I have small ears and that includes a tight ear canal. That being said, traditional earbuds (both with rubber/silicone tips and without) either fall out of my ears no matter what size or made my ears ache after an hour of use. These fit snuggly in my ears, and they don't feel like they're going to fall out. The left one fits a bit better than the right one, but I think this issue is specific to me. They are comfortable, especially without having to jam them into your ear canal. Noise Cancellation: It's practically non-existent. For this reason, I'm giving 4 stars. The sound quality gets different when you turn the noise cancellation on, almost a tad louder. It's hard to explain. My sister was talking to me while I enabled it to test it out, and her voice only sounded as if it was going through a tunnel when I turned it on. I would love the ability to turn noise cancellation on and off.... if it actually worked. Sound Quality: I'm not an audiophile, but the sound quality is pretty good. It's going to sound different than any earbud most of us are used to since we aren't cramming this one into our ear canals. I do feel like I have to raise the volume more than I would like, but that's the trade-off of the bean shape. Charging: USB-C charger on the end that goes into the charging case, USB charger on the end that gets plugged into the wall. The charging brick is not included. They seem to charge pretty fast. However, I only wore one earbud for 10 minutes and the battery dropped by over 5%. I'm going to update this review if I notice it getting better/worse. Connection: I have an iPhone 13 that I bought this year. I did not need to download the Samsung app to connect them like I was told. I was able to through a traditional Bluetooth connection. However, there are good features in the app like battery monitoring, an equalizer, and a noise-canceling button (though there is a way to turn it on without using the app as well). So I would recommend downloading the app anyway if you have the storage space. Overall, they seem to be pretty good earbuds so far. Would I pay full price for them? Probably not. But the bean shape is so unique and works so well for my ears that I might have considered it if they weren't on sale. IMPORTANT: These earbuds come with two tiny rubber adjustment pieces in the same box as the charger. I almost missed them, so make sure you don't miss them too. I believe they're a wider size for the top portion of the earbud, though I just left the original ones on because they fit fine.

    I have every edition of Galaxy Buds (including pro and pro2)... These have crazy awesome bass and every feature operates exactly as it should. Phone calls are clear with nice cancelation. I have bought 5 pair of these for every member in my home.

    I was not sure how I would like these, however I took a chance. So glad that I made the purchase. These are rock solid high quality. The sound is great and when using with my phone, people comment that the clarity is perfect. So far, the battery life is very good.

    These are niche earbuds. They're not going to be for everybody, but they're definitely for me. The open design let's me be able to wear the earbuds in car rides or go grocery shopping without needing to take out an earbud or having the mics on at all times just to be aware of my surroundings. Also, not feeling so plugged up while in public places is nice. I'm also able to.use these at work, while still being able to hear everything/everyone around me. My gripes are that I cannot use these buds for any sort of exercise, I have to adjust the fit every now and again, and touch controls are so-so. Also the actual touch control functionality is limited. Either have volume controls, or have an ANC/voice assistant/spotify toggle. ANC does work. In a car ride, it gets rid of the A/C fan noise and the low rumble of the engine, but everything else is just about the same volume. Hence the more open design. They sound great, and they fit better than I expected, but I'd recommend getting these on sale or get the buds plus to rid of the issues I mentioned above us they're cheaper.

    The best earbuds for the golden skinned gworls

    I purchased these to replace an older pair that I had for 3 years before I accidentally washed them inside the case. These are the best earbuds for me because my skin is golden brown and these earbuds look the most discreet. Someone should really come out with flesh-coloreds earbuds in a range of skin tones, because I'd buy the crap out of those. I also like these earbuds because they snuggle just right into the concha cavum of my ear without feeling like they are going deep into my ear. These also have excellent volume control: I have other earbuds that are much more expensive but I cannot wear them outdoors because I cannot hear anything else if I have my expensive earbuds in, which is a safety risk. With these, I can wear both and still hear my surroundings, but I usually just wear one to be on the safe side.

    My earBUDS are indeed my buds. I love the transparent look in my ears and the audio quality. It may take a little time for you to get adjusted to the right fit, but it's worth it. Now, I have to feel my ear sometime to make sure it's still there; I've gotten comfortable to wearing them. I like the idea of wearing one at a time, because it extends the use all day. Pop one in to charge, pop one out to replace. The case has a lasting charge and it's a small and convenient pod. No complaints. You will not regret it, if you decide to purchase them, just pack patience to learn how to operate bud features: volume tapping, noise cancelling, one tap vs. two taps, answering calls etc. The Buds are very eye catching and fashionable; others will ask you about them and compliment how they look. I extremely pleased with my BestBUDS.

    The headphones are a steal for the price! Pros: Incredible sound quality, noise surpression, comfort and noise isolation. Cons: The shape is a little strange to get use to, but once you do it doesn't even feel like they're in your ears!

    Great sound, comfortable - just one flaw Samsung

    These buds are great. They were easy to setup - paired with my Note 10 Plus as soon as I opened the case. The buds are very comfortable. They come with 2 rubber "tips" (small and large) that help just a bit to customize the fit. I have larger ears and found the large sized rubber tips actually helped quite a bit. The active noise cancelling is next to none. Don't buy these for that purpose. I didn't so this really isn't a negative for me. I am pleasantly surprised at how well these buds sound. I am not audiophile, but I can definitely appreciate good sound. I've taken these on several runs. They don't pop out and I hardly notice I'm even wearing them. This was a huge plus for me as most, if not all of the in-ear buds I've owned become very uncomfortable while exercising. ***THE BAD*** I pair these with my Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 when I go for runs. I, like 90% of the watch wearing population, wear their watch on the LEFT wrist (no offense lefties, my wife and brother are too). Why, Samsung, WHY would you place the main bluetooth receiver in the right bud? This causes a good amount of cut outs while listening to music. When I wear the watch on the right = no cut outs. I like the buds enough though to put up with this inconvenience. Typical for Samsung. So close to perfection, but somewhere they always poke a senseless hole.

    This is my first pair of truly wireless buds and I was apprehensive about whether I could wear them for long periods of time. I liked the idea of a device that did not fully seal my ear canal. Most buds I've used in the past became uncomfortable after an hour or so. I'm really impressed and pleased with my new Buds Live. The fit is loose but secure. I'm able to wear them for 2-3 hours without becoming irritated by their presence. I can speak to people comfortably with music in the background rather than feeling like they're trying to yell at me from outside my isolation booth. As for the sound quality it seems really good. It's different because of the way they sit in the ear. It's kind of like the difference between standing on the stage as opposed to listening in the audience - if that makes sense. These buds are a little spendy but I'm glad I spent the money. I find myself using them a lot more than those I've owned in the past. I've been pretty pleased with all of the Samsung products that I've owned in the past and feel the same about this one.

    The buds sound great. My comparison is against the buds+ which were also great. My ears do not like in ear buds, so I decided to give the live a try. The sound is nice, buds are comfortable. Noise cancelling doesnt really work as they arent in ear. Takes some getting used to.

    Needed to replace some Jabra's that the right bud stopped charging properly(always fell out of ear anyways) and you cant use the left without the right at all....... so I was super excited to find out these samsungs, either bud can be used standalone!!! They sound pretty dang good and fit so nice in the ear that I have no fears of them falling out when doing yardwork or walking my dog! Now one downfall not sure if its the buds or phone but when I put my phone in my left backpocket with right ear bud in it gets choppy... when I have it same side its perfectly fine. I can set my phone down and walk a good bit away and sounds fine also and they connect super fast once taken out of case! Very impressed!!! Overall pretty dang happy with these buds. Would buy again if needed.

    I never had earplugs that fit in my ears- they always fall out. When I saw these, I was skeptical. However, I have never had an issue with them becoming loose or falling out, and the sound is excellent, and these buds are a great return on your investment.
