    Best Buds Ever!

    Hands down the absolute best ear buds I have ever purchased. Not all of us have ears that fit the thousands of standard earbuds out there that you have to shove into your ear holes. Those are painful to my ears. But these beauties fit great and sound amazing. Not only that, they don't fall out even when I'm running on the treadmill. Sidenote: I have dropped these things plus the case on concrete and hard floorsultiple times plus washed them TWICE on accident and they still work! How tf is nobody talking about how great these things are?!

    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.

    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.

    Really good sound. Stay in my ear while doing basic things. Easy to use. And best of all - they don't end up hurting my ears after having them in for hours.

    These earbuds work really fine. Easy to pair, the sound is reasonable based on the price. This purchase encourages me to get the Pro version. I will definitely recommend these earbuds to anyone.

    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.

    I love my new purchase. To be honest initially i was skeptical because of how the ear buds are shaped, but they do not disappoint. The sound is clear and they don't fall out of your ears every 2 seconds like some in-ear headphones do. I also enjoy that they automatically connect to my phone and samsung laptop when in use. I use them for learning songs and taking calls when cleaning the house. Your callers will thank you for clear audio both ways. The only cons are that you cannot use the locate feature if they're not charged or the case is not charged or near you so i highly recommend keeping up with them.

    These are the best non-apple earbuds that you can buy. If you have an issue with earbuds fitting in your ear, these are comfortable for any air size.

    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.

    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).

    I am very pleased with my ear buds. Very clear, no issues with them falling out. The case also keeps a charge for a week which is handy because it charges the buds. Very pleased with my purchase.

    The best part of these earbuds if the comfort. Using earbuds without the silicone part going inside your ear is a treat. I can literally wear these things for hours without discomfort. They sound fantastic as well. The active noise cancelling is just okay. If you're trying to compare the ANC on these to a nice pair of Sony over the ear headphones, just stop. You're only kidding yourself if you think these can compare. But, they do cancel noise a bit, and make them about equal to the passive noise canceling of the inside the ear type of earbuds. One activity that I can't use these for is riding my bike. The wind noise passing by my ears is just too much. But for every other type of activity I do, these are great.

    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.

    Great earbuds. My sixteen year old son loves them. Nice quality. My only thing is the size of them is not for small ears. Otherwise they are great!
