SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds Live True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds w/ Active Noise Cancelling, Charging Case, AKG Tuned 12mm Speaker, Long Battery Life, US Version, Mystic Red

As an avid video, audiobook and podcast listener, I've been trying out several ear pods that I can wear for longer than an hour. In terms of comfort these cannot be beat. They fit very securely in the ear, not the ear canal, which has made every other pods I've tried unbearable for long then listening; even with memory foam tip replacements on those. While the AirPods Pro and Galaxy Buds Pro have better acoustics and nose cancellation, in reality, for walking around the house, or going for a walk these are the buds to wear. The sound is great, the Bluetooth reach is great, music sounds great, calls and videos waste clear, the comfort is the best. Listened for hours with little discomfort. No, these are not the best ANC buds. They are not meant to be. You can wear these and still be aware of your surroundings, which is not a bad thing waking around town, or at home when things buzz or people talk to get your attention. And while they don't clog your ear canal, still feel much secure and won't fall out as the others will. Nice that you can change volume by tap and holding, a feature most of the other Pro buds are missing, and a key one for me. One thing i do so miss from Samsung Buds Pro is automatic detection when you talk so the music pauses, then restarts. These don't get the credit they deserve, and that makes them more affordable and go on sale once in a while.

After some research and wasting money on cheaper options I am mad at myself for not getting these sooner. These are the best, comfortable, great sound quality with music, movies, and phone, battery life on buds and case I'd better than expected. I have big ears and my wife has tiny ears and we both enjoy them. The biggest thing is to find the comfortable fit, don't cram them in or gently set them in, you will notice a difference in comfort and sound quality when they are seated properly. When I first started with them I turned on my music app until I found the sweet spot (paused the music a lot and skipped a lot of songs lol). At first the wife didn't like them, complaining they were quiet and quality sucked, and felt like they were going to fall out so I had a look and she was not putting them in right. Trained her in the right way (don't tell her I said that) to wear them and now she loves them. *THE BEST PART: So I work in construction and dirty environments and these ear buds get beat up a lot and just keep working. **THE EVEN BETTER PART: I accidentally sent my ear buds in the case through the wash (on heavy duty) and then the dryer (also on heavy duty) and was mad at myself until I tested them and to my amazement they still worked. Other than a few more scratches nothing else changed. Am I recommending that you test this no, absolutely not, but should you accidentally wash them the way I did don't panic until after test them.

Touch control works well. I still use the headphones so they are durable. I have dropped a few times and still work. The battery last a long time. I bought them when the price was pretty high but they were worth it. I have had them for 4yrs. The hardly weigh anything. They are comfortable for a little while but too much wear can hurt your ears.

listening to anything. I charged them back up, took a one hour bike ride listening to music at a loud volume. After the ride they were at 12 percent. I charged them back up and went into 2 more online meetings and they started chirping at the end of the second meeting. The case charge left was 5 percent. So I received 7.5 hours of battery life with 2 case charges. I think had I maxed out everything I may have gotten 10 or 11 hours total, one third of what is advertised. Ridiculous. Sound quality- I think I may be as much to blame here as I'm reading the advertisement of rich sounds yet knowing in my mind that the technology to build an earbud with the kind of sound I consider rich isn't there yet. It's not what I was hoping for but for earbuds, these sound pretty good. The other positives I will mention are that they are very comfortable to wear, sometimes I'll even forget they are in there. They do not fall out of my ear, I was very worried about that. The mic clarity is crystal clear for my online meetings. The tap features are very convenient although it takes some time to get my finger placement used to wear the button is located. Overall, I think compared to other earbuds in this price range, they probably hold up in sound but I cannot get over the fact that I feel I was lied to concerning the active noise cancelling and the battery life. I'm very disappointed.

First impressions: I love the small case. Fits well in the pocket especially since pockets have gotten smaller and tighter in the last 20 years. Easy to pair to devices, I was jamming to Run the Jewels before I was done checking out the contents of the packaging. Fit perfect, didn't have to change the rubber pieces and they really just stay right in there. Some reviews will say the audio is bad, but they are labeled left and right, so those people just didn't have them in the right ears, which would lead to them not being in the right way, which im sure would make the audio not sound as good. That being said, they aren't the loudest headphones, but the audio is clear and crisp and does get better with noise canceling on. Noise canceling is easily turned on by touch and hold for a few seconds. Could hear my daughter babbling in the living room down the hall while still hearing crisp and clean audio from the buds. Worth the price. Love the color. Compact format factor with a perfect fit for pockets and ears. Feel like I could headbang with these in and they ain't going anywhere. Samsung premium quality at a better price than Apple stuff. If your were thinking about getting these but debating cause of the price... don't. Just get them.

I'm loving these! I previously had a black gloss pair. However, my son dropped right one into my drink and put the left in his mouth. Lol SOOOOOO i finally got to buy another pair. These are great for my ears, I can never really use the ones with the weird silicone ball because they never stay in my ear BUT THESE DO. love the sound as well. They connect to my galaxy s24 perfectly. Less than a minute. I however did not like the packaging it looked kind of beat up it could have came defective depending on how messed up the packaging was. I uploaded pictures but these are awesome I don't understand why it go any bad reviews. Just get your refund back if they don't work lol

I wanted to use them for a while before I wrote this, just know for this review I will be referring to the Galaxy Buds Live as.. "beans". (Due to the design and shape) When I first saw the beans I thought they looked silly, and said, who would want a pair of beans in your ears? Over time I was upgrading to a new phone and I have a pair of red Galaxy Buds+ but I was looking for a secondary pair to use as a backup while the red Buds+ were charging, so with a little reluctance I got the red beans, and upon first fit they were nice they do need some getting used to for the fact they look like beans in the ears, but after a while I got used to the shape and the sound quality was amazing the noise canceling is a pleasant experience and to turn it on or off directly from the beans and not having the app open does provide ease of use. Controlling the Samsung Music app through the beans is a bit complicated but with time and practice you will get the bean taps down easy. The syncing of the beans almost made me return them at first thinking they were defective, but with time and patience I got them to sync correctly. The beans have changed from being the backup pair to the primary pair I will use and and having them is a neat way to enjoy my music and a chuckle because after all my mocking.. I chose to have beans in my ears and I am liking the design.

I am one of those people who loathe, loathe, LOATHE the sort of earbuds that plug into the ear canal. I don't find them terribly comfortable, I don't find them terribly secure, and without getting too graphic, they tend to get kind of icky. I was interested in trying some "true wireless" buds (though with some reservations in general), and when these went on sale on Black Friday, I jumped on them (though today, I see this color is even cheaper - grrrr). I typically use these for phone calls while at my work desk. I had limited expectations for their usefulness for noise cancellation; you'll see plenty of reviews on that topic. Frankly, I'm surprised Samsung is even trying to advertise that as a feature here. Admittedly, I've been spoiled by my Bose Quiet Comfort headphones (which occasionally work TOO well) - but the times I've tried the ANC on these, I've noticed no difference at all. The good: - They look pretty darned cool. - They are not obtrusive. - They do not stick in the ear canal. - They connect to my phone immediately - They are reasonably comfortable - I am aware that they are there, and if I wore them for 12+ hours I expect I might be aware of some irritation, but for a few hours during the work day, I have not yet had any issues. - The color choices are fun (though I do think Samsung missed a marketing opportunity by not making a chrome version and filming an ad in front of a certain famous sculpture in Chicago) - The find-my-buds feature is quite useful. The bad: - They are not secure at all. Even with the larger silicone rings in place, they don't stay put if I move around much. They are fine for working at my desk, but I've had them fall out while walking around the house. Even if they have not fallen, if I put my hand up to an ear, I can tell that the bud is poking out a bit more than it ought to. I would absolutely NOT trust them on a walk or a run. - The jury is still out on the battery life. The longest I've had them actually playing was 4+ hours, and they started chirping to be fed. This was a bit less than the advertised lifespan - but I don't recall whether I had ANC turned on (shortens battery life) - There's not really any way to charge them to, say, 80% or whatever the maximum recommended level is for these sorts of battery. If you leave them in the case, they will go to 100%. If you leave them outside the case, they'll try pairing with your phone and the charge will drop. - There is no way to "leash" them - which would be an absolute requirement for me to wear them out of the house. There are numerous third party anti-loss straps that you can attach to AirPods, and even a few for Samsung's other earbuds, but nothing I can find that would work with the "beans". Maybe use some Krazy-glue to attach a little loop of some sort to the outside, and attach a ribbon to that?? Or the manufacturers that are now selling overpriced "jackets" for these could make one with a loop on it. - There is no way that I can tell to mute yourself when on a phone call. Looking around, some people have suggestions for how to do it, but others say it doesn't work. Certainly the manual doesn't cover this. To be fair, my QC headphones don't have that either - as I found out a couple of times by accidentally disconnecting my call!! - I have had limited luck in getting them to connect to my computer. Even with turning off Bluetooth on the phone (so the buds know not to pair to it), putting them in pairing mode doesn't always make them visible to the computer, and if they are visible, the connection usually doesn't work. I've had it succeed just once so far. Not "cons" per se, but it can be a bit tough to know I'm touching in the right spot for pausing, volume changing etc. Maybe a little more obvious bump to use as a finger guide, or something. All in all, I'm going to keep them - they're just useful enough that it's not worth the hassle of returning them - but there are definitely some areas of improvement.

Vengo de usar unos Beats Studio Wireless 2 y estaba muy acostumbrado al sonido y comodidad de éstos así que cuando me decidí a comprar los Buds Live (previamente informado y con horas de review en YouTube y sitios web encima) me costó trabajo acostumbrarme... Pero lo logré. Se siente una gran diferencia en comodidad y en serio te olvidas que los tienes puestos. No invaden pero tampoco "sellan" tus oídos como unos Buds+ (que también tuve pero de 1ra gen.) así que el término comodidad al menos en mis oídos si se aplica. También la utilidad extra de conectarlos a mi Watch Active2 y usarlo (en vez del teléfono) para escuchar música de Spotify me resultó súper productiva. PRO TIP: Si quieres comprobar que los bajos son profundos escucha Premonition y luego Kamikaze (ambas de Eminem). En serio te vas a sorprender, igual te puede servir para que aprendas a colocarte los audífonos porque no se deben de presionar ni tampoco se deben de poner acostados, créeme, será de gran ayuda y vas a comprobar la potencia y claridad. Eso sí, la polémica de la cancelación de ruido mejor ni la menciono, porque es demasiado obvio que no será buena en un ambiente normal, eso sólo sirve en un ambiente con leves ruidos como el segundero de un reloj de pared, pero más no esperes, primero infórmate súper bien, te ahorrarás decepciones de todo tipo, no sólo con gadgets. No olvides poner el ecualizador en la app Galaxy Wearable como Dinámico, también ayuda a mejorar el sonido. Otra recomendación es que uses Adapt Sound en tu Samsung para poder crear tu propia configuración de sonido (más agudos, medios o todo, en serio si sirve). Yo lo hice con los Beats y con estos fue una configuración diferente, quise usar la de Beats y fue un desastre. La última opción es que selecciones uno de los presets que ya están, generalmente la de "Menos de 30 años de edad" es la que me da mejor resultados (pero puede que sólo sea a mi). En resumen, cuesta un poco adaptarse pero se logra, generalmente cuando estás acostumbrado a unos over-ear o los in-ear (como los Buds) pero la verdad es que estoy más que contento y no me arrepiento de optar por estos y no por los Buds+.

Son excelentes, tengo unos AirPods de 2da y 3ra generación y estos audífonos no les piden nada, los AirPods tienen un 10 y estos 9. Tienen buen audio tanto para música, ver series o llamadas, los uso para hacer ejercicio y nunca se me han caído ni resbalado con el sudor. Son cómodos y se adaptan bien a mi oído. Usándolos 3 hrs al día la batería del estuche me dura 1 semana. El equilizador que viene en la app es básico pero bueno. La cancelación de ruido es excelente pero si tienes problemas de tinnitus te recomiendo no usarla porque se puede agravar ya que se crea un vacío en el oído y eso es con todas las marcas. Me gustaron mucho. 🤩 Saludos. 🙂

Muy lindo, buen audio excelentes audifonos

La calidad de audio es muy buena, si van a ecualizarlos háganlo en la app de Samsung Wear, ya que no es necesario usar el ecualizador predeterminado aunque dependerá del gusto de cada quién y también dependerá del modelo de su galaxy ya que puede variar la calidad. Normalmente se aprovecharian mejor en un galaxy de serie S, un s10,s20,s21 o note, aunque para ser sincero en mi galaxy A71 se escuchan muy bien. Son muy cómodos incluso puede dormir uno con ellos. Los controles táctiles a veces son muy sensibles y otras veces hay que tocar con firmeza para que respondan es cuestión de adaptarse nada fuera de lo normal. Los materiales se sienten de buena calidad. La cancelación de ruido no será la mejor pero cumple su función.

Al inicio me encantaron, cómodos, buen sonido, etc. Sin embargo a los 3 meses el izquierdo dejó de escucharse. Funciona, carga bien, los controles touch funcionan a la perfección, simplemente no se escucha. Supongo que es un problema con el sensor (detecta cuando te los pones y te los quitas), puesto que semanas antes empezó a fallar intermitentemente el audio hasta que un día simplemente ya no se escucha. El derecho sigue funcionando perfecto, en resumen, decepcionado.
