Great, but not ideal for people with smaller than average ears.

Reviewed in Canada on December 21, 2020

Excellent sound quality, and absolutely amazing call quality. They sound as if you are talking right into the phone itself. Super clear. It also has solid base, good mids and highs, and amazing battery life. I absolutely love these "beans" in every way.
The ANC is it's weakest link only due to the fact that it isn't an in-ear design, so it doesn't block out enough outside noise for a truly remarkable ANC, but that said, it's great that it's there, and it is noticible when it's on, just not as good as the in-ear alternatives.
The upside is the comfort. They are the most comfortable earbuds I have tried by a wide margin. I have had them in for 2 hours and totally forgot they were in my ears. I've even dozed off with them in, and it wasn't uncomfortable. One thing to mention is that the comfort may vary depending on your ear size. The average ear should have no issues, but I have purchased these for my girlfriend, who also loves them, BUT, she has smaller than average ear openings, so the buds don't sit too comfortably for longer periods. If you have small ears, keep that in mind, as she said it gets somewhat uncomfortable after an hour of wear.
Overall, an easy recommendation for almost everyone.

Unique Design with Unexpected Comfort and Sound Quality

Reviewed in Canada on September 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

I'm the type of person that gets head aches from the feeling of stuffiness when using traditional in-ear earbuds, so when I saw the Galaxy Buds Live, I knew I had to give them a try. Their unique bean-like shape and open-back design would have seemed to resolve my gripe with traditional earbuds.

Yet, I had my skepticism of the comfort and sound quality. But when I received these, I was blown away by how they just fit into my ears (Did take a week of getting used to how to put them in) and how I could wear these for hours without having a need to take them out. Running with these haven't been a problem either. I've done multiple 5KM runs and jump roping, and these buds not once felt like falling out. However, one thing to consider is that dynamic exercises involving a lot of sudden movements can cause them to fall out.

Another surprising factor was the sound quality. Being open-back I knew there was no seal, so I expected these to not have deep bass. However, the bass is punchy and the sound quality is shockingly good, considering its design.

I've used these both in doors and outdoors and have had no connection issues with them, unlike some other Bluetooth headphones I've tried. They've just worked from the moment I took them out of the box, and I haven't had any major gripes. Switching between devices also has worked quite well. I've used these on a Pixel 3A, an iPhone, a Windows notebook, and a Linux laptop, and switching between these, though not seamless due to lacking multi-device pairing, has been quick (Requires manually selecting the earbuds in the given device).

The only "problem" or concerns I have are from the battery and the ANC. With the battery, I noticed lower than expected battery life out of the case. From the listening tests I did, I only managed around 6.5 to 7 hours before the batteries were fully drained (ANC) off. Though not bad, I did run into situations where they ran out on me. The other factor is the ANC. Though noticeable with very low frequencies, this feature is barely noticeable during daily usage unless I actively listened for its effects.

Overall, these buds have exceeded my expectations. Their unique design lends to their amazing comfort, but in spite of this, Samsung didn't sacrifice on the core aspect of earbuds, which is the sound quality.

AGK audio good, ANC meh

Reviewed in Canada on July 31, 2021

I'm no audio file snob but can appreciate proper sounding audio and you're looking for a good sounding pair of true wireless, you may want to consider these pairs. I have two pairs of Soundpeat (Truengine & T2). The in-ear fit is quite comfortable and can be worn to sleep as it doesn't protrude out like the new Sony or the T2. The audio quality vs $$ is hard to beat if you can get these on a deeper discount. Compared to the original Truengine (1st gen), these give deeper bass but I still find the Truengine are better balanced; bass head need not to apply. The ANC isn't that strong but just to be fair, these do not sit in the ear like the Soundpeat T2 therefore not giving a complete seal. If you have a partner that snores but doesn't sound like a Harley, these might be ok for you. If you need something with a strong ANC, these won't do. The T2 I have are much better but unfortunately, they stick out so not good for side sleepers but good for those who sleep like a vampire.

Uncomfortable, slippery, average sound in this price range.

These earbuds are comfortable for the first half hour or so but they quickly cause discomfort in my ears. They start to move around if I am talking or eating. They get slippery from the build up of moisture in your ears. Working out will cause them to instantly become slippery. I am constantly stopping to readjust these. They still take alot of effort to dislodge them from your ear, but the feeling that they could constantly fall out is annoying. It's probably the gloss finish that causes these earbuds to feel slippery. I saw that Samsung has sleeves that you can purchase separately, but I could not find them anywhere in Canada. I tried Samsung customer service but was tired of the run around so I gave up. It would have been smart for Samsung to have included a pair of the silicone sleeves.

The touch controls are annoying as well, with alot of missed touches. Also I am frequently unintentionally pausing my music when adjusting these in my ears. I should say that I generally can't stand touch controls and have yet to find earbud controls as effective and reliable as the physical buttons on the jabra earbuds.

The lack of customizable equalizer in the app is disappointing.

The ANC is quite useless in these buds. They are open buds and don't seal your ear canals, which I prefer but the drawback is it lowers the effectiveness of the ANC. Fine for me because I don't need ANC.

Battery life is sufficient and charging case is a good size and very portable.

Sound quality is descent, most likely because of the large 12mm drivers. It would be better if I could tune the sound through a customizable equalizer in the app, but sadly that's not an option with these. The base on these earbuds could be punchier and the high end could be clearer. I think these earbuds sit too much in the midrange.

The Ear's The Thing

Reviewed in Canada on April 28, 2021

I love these. My ears are the exact size and shape they were designed for so they fit perfectly, never fall out or move around. They actually cut out more ambient sound than my old in ear ones with the silicone tips because they stay put, while the old ones were constantly losing the seal. No more constant fiddling with them to get the best sound. However, if you're in a noisy environment the noise canceling won't make much difference.
I have a Galaxy s10 which came with the app that you use to control them, get the firmware update and set up voice control if you use Bixby Voice. I don't use Bixby because it requires a Samsung account and the data mining they do makes me uncomfortable. I only use them for listening to music so I can't say anything about how well they work with phone calls. I'd recommend that you actually measure the space in your ear where they're going to sit and compare it to the dimensions of the buds. If you have large ears you may not get a good fit even if you use the larger 'wings' that come with them. The fit determines whether you will be happy with them.

All-day comfort, style and convenience.

If you talk on the phone all day, these are the ones to buy. They live up to their design potential.
Phone and virtual conversations are really, really CLEAR and CRISP. I have these attached to my computer all day for work and then later to call family and friends. They are that comfortable.
Many other reviews whine about noise cancellation. Samsumg galaxy buds live work perfectly for filtering out normal workplace noise. No more running fan hum, no more air conditioner whoosh. I used them at a laundromat and it cut out ALL of the machine noise. BTW much better laundromat experience.
These replaced my on-the-ear headphones (comfort), over-the-ear headphones (convenience), amd earbuds (style).
I like that they don't have "passive noise canceling" that plugs-up my ears. That would feel awful, wearing them all day. I'm also prone to ear infections, so sealing my ear canal just breeds bacteria and causes more infections.
I admit, I'm not a big music lover, so I can't comment on that.
If you talk on the phone all day, like many of us do from home offices, get these, they are worth it just for their feather-light comfort and executive style. The awesome audio, dedicated to the human voice, is a bonus feature.

Good ear buds but a struggle

Reviewed in Canada on April 30, 2021

I like the fact they don't go inside my ear canals. They sound quality is great. The microphone on em isn't the best obviously but they work pretty nicely. People can hear me pretty clearly. I use them on a daily basis just to listen to music at work. It's nice to be able to hear things around me without have to take off my ear bud with my dirty hands. I like that you can use one or the other. I usually only have one in my ear and once that one is low on battery. I swap it with the other one. They battery life is pretty good. It's close as advertised, about 6 hours plus the i'mnot totally sure but i charge it after 2 days. My only complaint is trying to put it in the ear without having it fall off. It's a real struggle for 5 minutes. But after that, once i figure it out, they stay in there. I used them when i went for a run and they stayed in place the whole time. But again it was a 5 minute struggle to find the right spot to put in. Overall good hear buds.

Great sound quality, long battery life, comfortable fit over prolonged time.

UPDATE: I got these wet as well as the case. They stopped working and I thought they were dead. WRONG!!! I dried them out and now they work as brilliant as they did when I first bought them. 6 STARS!! I also fell asleep with them in and the were still in place in the morning and still comfortable. 7 STARS!!!
I was concerned purchasing these because they were more expensive than I wanted to spend. I am so glad I decided to give them a try. I HATE how regular ear buds feel in my ears and how gunk builds up in them requiring them to be fastidiously cleaned out all the time. These are so comfortable I can forget they're in when out on a long bike ride and cleaned with a simple damp cloth. I loved them so much I bought another set for my wife - different colour - and she loves hers as much as I do mine. My phone is an LG and it paired easily BUT my wife's phone is a Galaxy and the pairing was seamless with her phone. I don't believe in giving a product 5 stars unless it is truly outstanding. These are.

Amazing ear buds, winning Airpods by A LOT

Reviewed in Canada on January 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

Comparing Apple Airpods and this Samsung Bud Live, I live the Samsung A LOT MORE.
First, it comes with great color choices, and I got the bronze, it does look like rose gold, but not too pink, good for all genders.
Second, it's sound quality is amazing, thanks to AKG, it's bass is strong enough.
Third, stunning active noise cancellation, no matter in calls or music, it's have very good quality. The mic is also doing very well, my friend was wondering why I was panting the house when I was running on the street talking to her XD.
4th, love the app, easy to use.
5th, IT IS NOT MADE IN CHINA! (made in Vietnam)
6th, never fall off, running or sleeping.
7th, One drawback is, it claimed 6hr battery, however it is only 5hr in average for continuously playing music.

Love this, sold my Airpods after one week of using this Sumsung Bud Live. Price, sound quality, design and color, product origin, winning my heart in all of these areas.

Great sound mediocre noise canceling

Reviewed in Canada on October 22, 2020

Overall pretty good true wireless earbuds. Love Samsung being creative with the design of the buds. They fit in really well butbdo require some adjustments to find the sweet spot. The sound quality is surprisingly good! I've read reviews about the bass being low, but haven't noticed this issue. The noise canceling will be the biggest factor in your buying decision. While the noise canceling work, but isn't true noise canceling. Walking on the street or being in a mall will still projects through the buds. While I work in the officethey are perfect and cancel out quite sounds. Overall I'm happy with my buds.
