    Good Ear Buds - Depends on your ear shape

    I bought these to pair with a Galaxy Z-Fold 3 phone. They pair very easily and work excellently within the Samsung Environment. They are shaped like a large kidney bean, and apparently, my ears are large. They sit very low in my ear, but seem secure. My right ear is shaped differently than my left, and that Bud works its way up in the ear, requiring me to push it back down occasionally. They are very sensitive to touch, which is good and bad. When I am reseating the right ear piece, I often pause or skip to next song :(

    Overpriced with a terrible microphone.

    They are ok. the best part is the fit. They fit pretty well, without falling fall out. The sound is average, not bad but at higher volumes you can hear crackling. The volume also doesn't get very loud, not quiet but at max volume it is not extremely loud. it is loud enough for most cases though. My biggest issues with these by far is the microphone is horrible. Every time I am on a call I get complaints. I end up taking them out so people hear me better. If your only goal is to listen to music, they aren't bad. But if you even think about using these for phone calls, look elsewhere. The reason I am giving these 1 star is for $170, they have issues in almost every area. The best part is the fit of these headphones. The audio quality is average. The microphone is just horrible. I would say get these if you just need a pair of headphones that are comfortable and don't care too much about audio quality or using the mic.

    These are nice and small and fit comfortably in the ears. The sound quality is pretty good but they don't isolate as well as the buds plus (I have those too). Overall I am happy with them.

    Sound was great, controls work well. The right one fit my ear perfectly, but my left ear was just a little too small for it fit comfortably. I returned them, but they would be great for someone with a bigger ear.

    Best buds!! Amazing sound and COMFORT!!!

    They sound amazing with a great and punchy bass that doesn't affect mid's and high's. The bass sounds much better than the Buds +, even though these buds are open, and not sealed with rubber tips like the Buds +. I can compare the sound to the Jabras Elite Active 75t which were my favorite buds until now. The Buds Live are my new favorite, not only for the great sound, but for all the features and specially the COMFORT!!!! I can wear these the entire day without any discomfort. You forget you are wearing them. They fit perfectly in my ears. The ANC is "meh". Don't buy these if you are looking for ANC. You can notice a little bit of a difference, but they don't block any noise. They only block the sound of an A/C or fan. But for me it's not a deal breaker, because I didn't buy them for ANC. When I need ANC I use the Sony WH-1000XM4 or the Bose 700.

    Love these ear buds, I have the apple AirPods Pro’s too and to be honest, the bass on those are subpar. These on the other hand sound so much better and they work perfectly with my iPhone too.

    Despite the negative talk about the way these bud fit in the ear due to their radical design, i actually find that they fit very well in my ear once i replace the silicon

    I love these ear buds. They fit perfectly in my ears. Noise canceling is great. I purchased the Galaxy buds Plus but they hurt after a while. They dropped $40 at Best Buy two weeks later or three weeks later very disappointing

    Overall these are high quality buds. The audio is clean and dynamic. The battery life is good given the price point, especially in my line of work that allows me to top them off between stops. The only "drawback" is the fit. When I say "fit" I don't mean they will fall out. I mean these don't seal in your ear like a traditional ear bud. They more or less sit snugly in front of the opening of your ear. So they basically have an open back sound quality, which means people can hear what you are listening to at higher volumes. It also somewhat defeats the idea of having a noise canceling feature. The ANC does work, but only for lower frequencies. In most settings the feature is nice, but I wouldn't ride my mower with them. If you want noise isolation, get the Buds+. Otherwise the Buds Live come highly recommended from me.

    These samsung wireless earbuds are great quality. I bought a pair for me Rose gold and a pair for my boyfriend the blue ones. He really enjoys them too. We use them everyday. The charge lasts a long time. Great purchase. Highly recommend
