SAMSUNG LIVE BUDS ANDROID
Pairing is fast, across Android and iPhones. Like the AirPods Pro, the Galaxy Buds Live also feature air vents to reduce instances of “earplug effect” or occlusion so you can have them on comfortably for longer duration. But your experience may vary so it is highly advisable you try them in person before buying them. While I can’t compare them with anything else at this point of time, the Galaxy Buds Live have become my go-to choice for running and cycling-which is to say they are very, very good. I have been very impressed with the fit and finish of the Galaxy Buds Live and how they sit securely inside my ears. Each earbud has one at the top end and Samsung bundles an additional bigger cushion in the box. That’s not to say there are no cushions though and it certainly doesn’t mean the Galaxy Buds Live are one-size-fits-all. The speaker fires directly into the ear canal. They just lock into place and stay in the ears even though there are no silicon tips so to say. Little did I know, the Galaxy Buds Live fit ‘naturally’ in the concha of my ears. The bigger concern was, how do I put them on. To be completely honest, I wasn’t even sure how the whole kidney bean aesthetic made it past the drawing board at Samsung, the first time I took them out of their box.

Galaxy Buds Live fit ‘naturally’ in the concha of my ears. The biggest reason to consider them over the Galaxy Buds Plus-or any other TWS earbuds in their price range-is their design. They sound a little better and have better battery life too.Īnd yet, the Galaxy Buds Live stand out.
SAMSUNG LIVE BUDS PLUS
For the record, the Galaxy Buds Plus have a better shot at cancelling out noise ‘passively’ owing to their canal-type design. But what they do offer is some level of ANC with a healthy dose of ‘essentials’ and a couple of more things that might-just might-convince you to pick them over the Galaxy Buds Plus. There’s no way the Galaxy Buds Live’s open-type design can offer best-in-class ANC. But here’s how Samsung describes the Galaxy Buds Live: “earphones that offer a reasonable level of noise cancelation, allowing you to stay aware of the world around you.” Not good, not great, but reasonable. Now usually when brands do TWS earbuds with ANC-especially the first time-they make a lot of noise about that noise cancelation bit (no pun intended). Technically, the Galaxy Buds Live are Samsung’s first truly wireless earbuds with active noise cancelation or ANC. Same reason why it probably never went all gung-ho about them, the way it did with the Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Buds Plus. The Galaxy Buds Live aren’t meant for everybody anyway, something that Samsung is probably aware about as well. Eventually, you’d either grow to love and appreciate them or you’d move on to something more ‘conventional,’ run-of-the-mill if you will and that’s fine too. Or even the best second, third, fourth or fifth. It took me a while to understand them though, so it’s fair to say, the Galaxy Buds Live don’t make the best first impressions. I am still not totally convinced with how Samsung has named them (for obvious reasons that I wouldn’t go into now that they’ve been around for a while) but everything else about them is so bang on point, you know, it doesn’t even matter.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live do, which is to say, they’re a breath of fresh air-literally and figuratively. In the world of tech, it is not everyday you come across a product that works as advertised to a T.
