Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

These are comfortable. The ANC is not that of Bose or anywhere close. It it is noticable. .these sound amazing. Better the the Galaxy bud+. Battery life is.far better on the +. If you get these you will not regret. Apparently red is coming out. Only negative poor waterproofing like all.samsung buds

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.

Went from using Over-the-Ears to these at my job as a forklift operator. The Noise cancel works well and they are quite comfortable as they lay in my ear. I've had trouble with most in-ears falling out. These stay in place.

These headphones are not your typical in ear headphones. One cannot compare them to a real in ear model as these rest inside the ear rather than in the ear canal. The sound is clear while the bass is strong. You will not get the same listening experience as other in-ear headphones. Therefore, I don't think one can compare them to other models as they seem to fit a certain purpose...these are a complement to your headphone arsenal. If you still desire to beware of your surroundings while listening to music these are a go (which is what I prefer most of the time). I also have Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro. These block out everything which may not be good if you need to hear whats going on around you (one is totally oblivious to outside noise). The only downside to me is the lack of sound profiles/customization you can do in the Galaxy Wearables app. There are some options but not as much as I have seen from other devices. They are also comfortable to wear and at times I forget they are in my ear if I am not playing music.

These are the best. I have had mine since September, and I've enjoyed these compared to the galaxy buds. Those never fit in my ears without hurting within maybe 30 mins of wearing. I got these because so many reviews said they were a more comfortable and better fit. I've had them almost 3 months now and after testing out the 2nd set of ear covers and trying them with no covers and letting my ears get used to them they are good for long term use for me. They do take some adjustment so give you're ears sometime and see what works for you. Not shoving them in helps. I place them in my ear vs jam them in their like the regular buds. They stay in really well and I do dog grooming. They also let you share music with someone else who has these buds and that is THE BEST FEATURE!! Music quality is great and you can change the equalizer to help with sound quality. Overall I definitely recommend for people looking for better fitting buds compared to the other ones they have. My fiancé even got himself a pair!!

I love these earphones. They're my favorite. They connect fast and easy and the sound quality is excellent. I use them for my laptop, Fire tablet and Galaxy S22 Ultra cell phone with now problems and the battery last a long time.

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.

Amazing headphones. Love the different options, especially the noise canceling. I have used these every day for the last two years, and they are still going strong. Love these so much, I bought my husband a pair. By far my favorite headphones ever.

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.

I had the Samsung Galaxy buds before these that still worked, but I thought I would give these a shot. I would definitely recommend this product and upgrade. First the sound quality was greatly improved. Good bass while keeping the mids and highs clear. The stylish design is great, very comfortable wearing it for hours. I also like that when I turn my music off, I don't have to take them off to have a conversation. Gym: I wear these now to the gym instead of my Galaxy buds. They are very comfortable, stays in during runs. I will say on the very hot days, and I am excessively sweating, the earbud tends to move affecting how loud the music sounds. I would recommend Samsung provide some attachment or maybe a gym version of these would be great. Overall great product!

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.

Great sound quality and fit. More comfortable than traditional shaped truly wireless headphones for my ears. Battery lasts me two or three days and i usually have them in for at least half the work day

I'm no audiophile, but for me, these sound great. The battery life is great, and they are very comfortable. They stay firmly in ear during exercise , hiking and mowing the lawn. Touch controls take a bit of practice.

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.

The new samsung buds live are the best all around buds you can buy today. I have tried Jabra 75 (sound good for audio not phone calls), Air pods ( good for calls, ok for music), samsung buds+ (sound bad, calls great), Bose true wireless ( bulky, audio problems cutting in and out, sound ok), Google pixel buds (gpod on calls, adequate music). Sony buds (not good with calls and music was adequate). All of the buds cause ear fatigue for me except the bose but could not handle the sound dropping on one side. I was looking for a good set of buds that could handle call without sounding like I was under water and decent misic. When I saw Samsung had a new beans design I wanted to give them a try. These buds exceed all my expectations. No ear fatigue, calls and music are great with better than expected bass. I hope this post helps others looking for a good solution. I am very particuliar on audio and recommend these buds over all others in the price rangs.

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.

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!

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.

They fit just perfect in my ear and are comfortable! Be mindful that you must sit them in your ear to where the shape of them sit naturally. If you do so, they won't be felt at all. I forget they are there. They easily connect to everything. I love the sound and the nose cancellation is awesome
