Subpar sound quality (especially at high volumes), ANC disappoints, Battery life suffers with the most attractive features, Fit takes some getting used to, Summary, Samsung's latest true wireless earbuds have a unique “open type” design that will keep you
Samsung's latest true wireless earbuds have a unique “open type” design that will keep you from cramming them in your ears. While that does make them a bit more comfortable, you do have to sacrifice sound quality and the effectiveness of ANC. There are so...
Bluetooth 5.0; AAC and Samsung scalable codec, Wireless and fast charging (USB-C), Unique design, stable fit, App available on iOS and Android, Good microphone quality

Unique design,Comfortable to wear for long periods,Good battery life,Decent sound quality,Plenty of features
Lack of isolation reduces effectiveness of active noise-cancellation
While we enjoy wearing the Galaxy Buds Live for hours at a time and we're happy with the sound quality, the downfall, for us, is the fit and how effective the seal is between 'buds and ear canal. Ultimately, that will come down to the shape of your ears.S...
Good audio quality, Active noise cancellation, Very comfortable
Bad touch controls, No passive noise blocking, ANC is limited
Samsung deserves credit for taking the risk on a weird new design with the Buds Live, not least because for the most part these deliver on their promise. They're extremely comfortable, surprisingly stable, and honestly after a while you do sort of forget...

Not if you have small earsSamsung's Galaxy Buds Live have a lot going for them, from clear sound and compact size to moderate noise cancellation and solid battery life. Not to mention flashy style that looks like nothing else in the genre.For me, though...
Lack detail on complex genres, ANC isn't terribly effective,
The Galaxy Buds Live are an interesting set of true wireless earbuds, featuring an atypical bean-shape design. On paper spec sheet is impressive and matches, if not beats, their main AirPod competition. But sadly, they still fail to fully deliver in one c...

Surprisingly good fit, Extra helping of bass, Combined 20-hour battery life
Middling sound quality, Poor noise cancellation, Low IP rating
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live are good – but not great – true wireless earbuds. They have a number of neat features and offer a combined 28-hour battery life, but their sound isn't amazing, and the noise cancellation has a lot of room for improvement. They...
