    Great sound and battery life is amazing. Does not go directly into the ear canal which makes it very comfortable when wearing for long periods of time and still has amazing sound quality.

    At first I didn't know what to expect since these aren't your typical earbuds. The buds do require a little adjusting to fit in a way so that you get the best sound (as the app suggests). But they do offer amazing sound. The one thing I don't understand is how to use the "active noise cancellation". Due to the earbuds sitting kind of "loosely" (though they don't fall out at all no matter what I'm doing) in your ears, it doesn't feel like the ANC is an actual thing...? But then again, the way it is advertised, it is not supposed to be like complete isolation. But the sound they produce is extremely nice I feel, or at least for "open-style" earbuds. Would recommend for anyone who wants to try something uniquely different.

    The Samsung - Galaxy Buds live sounds amazing. The sound clarity is great and the bass is just perfect. The design is comfortable and these buds sit in my ears and I don’t even notice that I’m wearing them.

    Do You Hear What I Hear

    Great in ear headphones. Does a decent job blocking outside ambient noise when listening to music. Unlike other newer in-ear headphones that have the cushion, these don't fall out of my ears. Unsurprisingly, these work better with other Samsung products. The transition and syncing abilities is less smooth with Apple products. Highly recommend getting these if you have a Samsung phone or watch. Also recommend for Apple, but not as highly.

    IO purchased these to go with my Galaxy Note 8. Pairing and setup was simple. The sound from them is very good. These are very comfortable n the ear and can be worn for long periods of time with no discomfort. They are surprisingly secure in the ear. You would think that they would easily fall out, but they sit in the ear very securely nd I have not noticed the shifting at all. I have tried the active noise canceling but did not notice any difference between having it on or off. However, since I am working from home I am not in a noisy environment so there is not much noise to cancel, so my test is not a good test of this capability. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend these earbuds to anyone.

    These would definitely be a little to chunky to fit in someone else's ear, but they fit in my big ears. Great price when i bought mine on sale.

    Purchased as a gift for mom and she liked it very much. Ease of use. I like design it fits well and no need to adjust multiple times. I used other buds with ear tips but compared to them this is most suitable for ears.

    These remarkably stay in place very well. The sound is pretty good. I bought these for my wife who has small and slightly convoluted canals, and has trouble keeping most earbuds in place. I bought a pair first, and had her try these. I thought they might work because they don't go into the canal. She wears them to exercise and has no problem keeping them in place. Also the immediate connection with phone is good. I'd give them 5 stars if they had a way to control volume in ear - not just with the phone (or other device).

    The quality of these earbuds is fantastic. Love the tap functions for easy use. My only hangup with them is that my ears are a tad smaller so they hurt after wearing them for a while.

    The quality is good, but I wouldn’t recommend sleeping with them thought, I’ve woken up multiple times with pain in my ear because of them. If you’re the type of person who loves dancing (like going crazy) these are definitely for you, they don’t come out easily like wire earbuds. They’re also very easy to connect and really fast charging (I got to 75% in 5 minutes). If you’re a music blaster these are also good but if you change the settings (let’s say double bass) then the music will get quiet not dramatically, but normal is loud and amazing.

    Innovative Design That Doesn't Quite Work

    I was excited to get these earbuds as I have used both previous versions of the Galaxy Buds, and the precursor IconX. Until the Pixel Buds, I only used the Galaxy Buds, as I found they had a good fit, decent touch controls, good battery and good sound. The Buds Live are a bit of a step backwards in the sound department. The sound isn't a full, and that is partially due to the Buds not creating a seal in your ear. It lets much more sound in, which is good for when you want to hear your surroundings, but bad for everything else. And that fit! I find these cause my ears to hurt after not too much time using them. Since there are no tips, there is no way to try different fits. Although I like the innovation of the bean shape, it's harder to use the touch controls on this, compared to the regular Buds or Pixel Buds. I often had to touch multiple times, or would mistouch and trigger the wrong action. I also experienced more connectivity issues with these compared to other buds. Of course, there are always firmware updates, but who knows when the one that fixes the issue lands (I was using a Note20 Ultra). Overall, I would stick to the previous Buds version. Best Use Case: I love Samsung and like to support them and innovation in technology. Worst Use Case: I want good sounding, easy to use earbuds.
