Samsung Galaxy Buds Live stand out from the crowd of true wireless headphones with their unique shape. They are a love it or hate it design, but many who love these buds find them extremely comfortable and much preferable to other styles of buds. If you’ve had trouble finding true wireless earbuds that are comfortable to wear for long periods of time, you might be surprised by the fit of the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live.
When we compared the Galaxy Buds Live to the Galaxy Buds Pro and Galaxy Buds+, we found the Galaxy Buds Live to be superior in terms of comfort and wearing experience thanks to their unusual bean shape. Instead of being placed in the ear canal, which can be painful if the buds are not properly placed, these buds sit in the shell of your ear. This makes them both comfortable to wear and hard to take out, which is handy if you find that other styles of buds tend to fall out of your ears. The sound from Buds Live is round and warm, with a strong amount of bass. Many people really prefer the sound of the more expensive Buds Pro, but if you’re looking for comfort and acceptable sound is good enough for your needs, the Buds Live might be the right choice for you.
The buds have six hours of playback, which is typical for this type of headphone, plus an additional 15 hours of charge out of the box. You can use the Samsung Galaxy Wear app to control the headphones from your phone, and in our testing we found them to be quick and easy to both set up and pair with a phone or other device. The Buds Live are also great for making or receiving phone calls, with active noise cancellation to minimize background noise and clear sound coming out of the other end.
