I love these! The blue color is so beautiful. I have these already in bronze, but I couldn’t pass them up in blue. I listen to a lot of music, and just love the sound quality. They are light in the ears and no ear fatigue when wearing them. Great purchase! Plus if you have the charging pad from you Galaxy buds+ it works with the live buds too.

The product was not damaged or anything like that I've done my research and have found out that a earbud with that innovation style doesn't have a tight ear seal so noise cancelling is kinda out of the picture but as for bass boost its a wonderful time

Can still hear people on the train. Max volume is what my over the head earphones would be on low volume. Pretty sad purchase but I am too lazy to return them.
I always had issue with gadgets fitting in my ear so I was concerned. They do not fit. My son either. However, they are well made and likely great but i couldn't tell. Another thing Woot is a great company to deal with.
The best part, is that they seamlessly pair with everything I use. I have Samsung Galaxy S8 & Active2 smartwatch. They also connect to my Thinkpad laptop for work by turning on the bluetooth in the action center - 2 mouse clicks!!
They are great for MS Teams, Skype for business, annnddd also work (mostly) with my Avaya softphone software at work! My job is very fast, and I even use virtual desktops bc 3 monitors isn't enough. Lol.
I am not on the phone allllll day .... But I have only had them run out of battery on me once, and it was because I didn't realize that they weren't fully charged when I got to work. So I did not charge them during downtime between calls.
Sometimes when switching from USB headset to Galaxy Buds Live.. the program does get a little confused. It is a really easy fix as I have already paired my buds so I just have to click the bluetooth button on Windows 10 again.
I really like that they have a Spotify button but it's frustrating that you can only do volume up or volume down in sync with each other. I would really like to put Spotify on one earbud for tapping and volume down on the other earbud... it does not allow that customization. Also it only connects with Bixby which is probably the worst of the voice activated apps and does not allow Google Assistant and so when I am looking to launch Google Assistant it listens through my phone microphone instead of the earbuds. This is frustrating because I sometimes have my phone in my purse and so Google will not hear me. Once I am connected to the app I go to my regular keyboard as if I were to text and hit the microphone that works perfectly fine. The work around to this is to have a Bluetooth visor speaker in my older car as a peripheral device. Just have to drop the earbuds back in the box, close the lid, and voila it connects with the peripheral speaker.
I am not the most accurate with the tapping and I do adjust the earbuds in my ears quite a bit still due to having funny shaped ear ridges. I am a very fidgety person so this doesn't really have much to do with the earbuds themselves. I went ahead and blocked the touches for this reason. It took a minute to learn how they fit most comfortably I did have to invest in some of the knockoff silicone caps as the bottom of my inner ear is larger than the top. It just takes some getting used to overall but now that I know how to insert them correctly they no longer hurt the inside of my ears. If you are in pain and using the smallest wingtips then you are likely inserting the buds incorrectly... go watch a video. I find that I can tell if they're inserted correctly from the sound quality and clarity when properly adjusted
I have a very busy schedule and have to take calls on the fly. I keep these in my front purse pocket. I pop em out of the case, into my ears, as I'm answering the call and voila! the caller can hear me right away.
It's great bc I have 2 small children and getting tangled in wires while on conference calls is soooo annoying.
Overall I am extremely impressed with the sound quality including the equalizer function on the Galaxy wearable app as well as the noise canceling features. I can be very picky about how my music sounds so I was delighted to find out how impressive these are. I am told that the sound does not seep out of my ears and bother other people. These earbuds have increased my productivity and efficiency. I am able to quick switch them between devices and apps.

I love the fit/feel of these buds! The ones that stick into my ear canal always start hurting my ears after less than an hour. Even with the rubber tips they just don't fit quite right. These don't protrude into the rear canal so I can wear these comfortably all day. The one downside is they don't have that seal seal in the ears that minimizes outside noise. So you have to increase the volume on these more than on the other style of buds to get the same result. And the noise canceling on these is a joke. Doesn't do anything. I wish Samsung made a cheaper version without that feature. The other complaint I have about these is you have to tap just right, on exactly the right spot, to use the earbud controls. You can also use the app or your phone buttons, of course. Tapping the buds is more convenient, but there's a learning curve with these where you have to get the hang of it. It's not impossible, but it's also not as easy as buds with a dedicated button or area to tap. Nevertheless, I'm very happy with these overall.
Thought I was getting a good deal on the buds live at £150 in bronze. Got the items, the box seems just abit funny. tried to register with Samsung using the serial on the charging case. did not work. reached out to Samsung and they advised serial does not exist - most likely fake item and will not be covered under any warranty. The "if this seal is broken" sticker was found inside the box!
Ich habe bereits die Galaxy Buds, die Galaxy Buds+, sowie die einen oder anderen Bluetooth Ohrstöpsel. Mit den Buds+ war/bin ich sehr zufrieden, v.a. die lange Nutzungsdauer mit einer Akkuladung punktete bei mir. Andererseits konnte ich fast nie so lange Musik hören wie ich wollte, da die doch recht tief sitzenden Silikonaufsätze meist irgendwann unangenehm wurden (Jucken,...). Nun also die Galaxy Buds Live. Und ich muss sagen, dass ich mich sofort in sie verliebt habe. Man spürt sie zu Beginn kaum, später irgendwann eigentlich gar nicht mehr. "In-Ear" trifft es eigentlich gar nicht so richtig. Deshalb hatte ich zunächst auch die Befürchtung, sie fallen leicht heraus, aber da kann ich 100%ig Entwarnung geben. Erstaunlicherweise sitzen sie aber echt fest. Und endlich habe ich Ohrstöpsel, die ich stundenlang bequem tragen kann. Den Sound (meist Rock / Metal) empfinde ich grundsolide und auch etwas besser und ausgewogener als bei den (wirklich guten) Buds+. Ok, die Sache mit dem ANC ist so eine Sache. Durch die Bauweise wäre es illusorisch zu denken, dass Außengeräusche komplett abgeschirmt werden würden. Aber tatsächlich kommen sie leiser im Ohr an. So klingen zum Beispiel Autos weiter entfernt... Mir persönlich bringt es jetzt aber nicht besonders viel, Ich habe es darum auch ausgeschaltet, um dafür die Akkuleistung zu erhöhen. Noch ein Wort zur Akkuleistung. Noch weiter kann man sie erhöhen wenn man den Bixby-"Stand-by" ausschaltet, falls man es eh nicht nutzt. Und falls einem wirklich mal der Saft ausgeht (und man ein induktives Handy oder eine Powerbank dabei hat), dann reicht es, die Buds zehn Minuten zu laden, um wieder zwei Stunden weiter Musik hören zu können... Und da bereits vor Verkaufs-Start der Preis mancherorts auf etwa 150 Euro viel, also das Niveau der Galaxy Buds+ erreicht zum Start erreicht wird, würde ich sie mir tatsächlich jederzeit und sofort wieder kaufen. Die Verbindung ist bei mir übrigens bisher kein einziges mal abgebrochen (S10e), egal ob das Handy in der Hand, in der Tasche oder im Rucksack war. Diese stabile Leistung hatten die Buds und die Buds+ bei mir erst nach ein paar Updates. Vorher konnte die Verbindung schon mal eine Sekunde weg wein, wenn das Handy in der hinteren Hosentasche war und ich mich erdreristet habe, den Kopf zu drehen ;-) Zuhause mit einem iPad Mini funktioniert auch alles tadellos. Ich habe auch in irgendeiner Rezension gelesen dass angeblich die Lautstärke zu niedrig sein soll. Vielleicht waren sie ja auch nur falsch im Ohr eingesetzt, aber im direkten Vergleich mit den Buds(+) schaffe ich es hier nicht bis zum Anschlag, das kannte ich bisher von noch keinen Kopfhörern. Aber sie müssen wirklich richtig (!) sitzen.
I'm a huge music fan... I love to listen to music at full volume on quality headphones, hubby can't stand it when I sing out loud but hey-ho I can't hear myself so what do I care what I sound like! Some years back I spoiled myself with a lovely set of B&O H9i headphones, lovely pair of quality noise cancelling headphones if you have around £300 to blow, I snagged mine on sale when they first came out, I think they'll set you back about £280 now, well worth every penny in my opinion . Anyway, back to what I bought today and you want to know more about. Let's talk about the new Samsung Galaxy Buds Live. OK ok... I'm not one to join the "gotta have the latest in technology" hype but I did. I've been wanting a set of ear buds for some time that are easy to connect, wireless and came within a fraction to the sound quality of my fancy pancy B&O headsets without the cumbersome problem of toting around a full headset. Let's face it, my handbag is already big enough to carry the kitchen sink so to find another one that could accommodate my headphones too will just give hubby something else to moan about, this is where this little gems come into the picture. Let's talk about the pros and cons shall we? After all that's what you want to know instead of me harping on about my martial problems. Just so you know what I'm hooking these things up to for ease and sound quality, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus and hubby has a Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus, he has to have a better gadget than me even though he has no idea how the damn thing works, I have to help him set everything up on it... Grrr Connection.: Blow me down! Flaming easy as pie but make sure you have the "wearable" app installed if you don't already, I have a Samsung watch already connected so all I did was made sure the app was updated. Open and close the tiny charging case and va-la, it's connected 10-10 for connecting. Once connected via Bluetooth re-connecting is way too simple, just open the case and they automatically connect, ready to use and play my music where I left off. If hubby can connect these without my help then they are dead easy to set-up! ANC: Open the "Wearable" app and sound adjustment is there for you to fiddle with, although basic it's effective enough. This is where you'll also find the elusive ANC. With noise cancelling there's only a slight change, no where near my B&O ability to drown out my husbands voice along with the mutts constant barking but at least with these I'll hear the lorry bearing down on me when I'm out and about walking so that's a plus! Thanks Samsung, you may save my life with a less than effective ANC in the real world. On the other hand they were OK for drowning out common noise, simple background noise, telly and normal talking at higher volumes. With that said you'll never get a good noise cancelling with ear buds, only a good quality headset will deliver on that so I give these a 8-10 for ANC for earbuds and not comparing them to headphones Design: Cute tiny things, very discreet and strangely comfortable to wear for long periods. I have the bronze colour and hubby has the black ones, lovely colour choices and look expensive. Matching cases too but I think the buds weigh more than the cheap feeling plastic case. I was surprised at the size of the damn case! Hell! Have Samsung no idea how big my bag is? I'll loose the thing with one toss in my bag. Saying that it's a perfect size to slip in your jeans pocket but if your like me and have added a stone or two since lockdown then you're wearing joggers or leggings with no pockets, so I guess it's back to trusty Amazon to search for a protection case with a hook thingy attachment and to protect the cheap feeling case itself. I'm giving a 10-10 for the earbuds but a 5-10 for the case, for the price we paid I would have expected a bit better quality case. Sound: I'm quite impressed with the sound banging out of these. They don't sound "tinny". Bass is good. Again compared to my B&O's they come close, they are AKG's with that said. Strong enough bass, loud enough and just a little distortion at high volume but nothing to bitch about. For earbuds I'm impressed. I use to love the Apple wired earpods, nothing held a candle to them but with Apples wireless ones, I always thought people looked silly having a white tube hanging from their lugs so they didn't interest me. Samsung have up their game with these. I'm loving the sound quality with a wide range of genres of music I'm listening to. Sound 9-10 Phone Calls: Made a few calls using the earbuds. Seamless call connection and they sound perfect. I can't tell the difference with sound quality between using just your phone or if you're speaking through the earbuds. Well done Samsung on that! I've said "OK Google" whilst listening to music and she popped up ready to complete my request so no problem there. 10-10 for calls and speaker/ mic quality
Overall I'm impressed! Are they worth the full price I paid of £179? Probably not but as I'm not just paying for the earbuds, I'm paying for research, the materials, everyone involved in production, updates, delivering and so on, I get the price so I guess it's fair and they are £40 cheaper than Apple's earpods. I would expect to pay around £140-160, the lower price being on sale and the higher price being at full price. I was happy to fork over my hard earned brass at £179. so I'll quit my bitching on that subject. Seeing I've been working the entire time during lockdown and haven't been able to go anywhere to spend my money, I spoiled myself with these. I'll let you decide. Would I recommend them? Probably but with so many choices of earbuds I think it's a personal preference. Why didn't I choose B&O earbuds you ask? Price... These were about half the cost with probably the same sound quality. Again with all said these are earbuds so the sound quality will never match headphones but come damn close. I'm satisfied with my purchase. I think they are great to use with my phone and are low profile so I don't look stupid or rude in public wearing them. I'll give these a 9-10 as the case let's them down. One last thing, if you've opened "developer options" on your Samsung phone as I've done, turn it off as it affects the volume output. I was a bit upset that the output of sound was about 2/3 of hubby's. I paired my buds up to his phone and realised it was my phone, switched off developer options and I now received full volume. If you have no idea what I'm talking about then don't worry, your volume should be fine. Update: After reading reviews about a "fake" products being received I want to assure you that mine are 100% genuine as I had to register them on the Samsung website in order to receive my free charging pad. I'm wondering if they are ordering from the "other" sellers listed below Amazon's bit? Still enjoying my earbuds... drowning out the barking mutts and hubby moaning that's there's only re-runs on telly!
Tolles Design, toller Klang, halten bombenfest ABER sobald ich mein Handy in die Hosentasche oder auch teils meine Jackentasche stecke kommt es bei mir zu Aussetzern, zerhacktem Sound und manchmal sogar zu Verbindungsabbrüchen. Das ist dann doch recht enttäuschend...
Update: Nachdem ich von meinem Oneplus 8 Pro testweise zu meinem S10+ umgestiegen bin ist die Verbindung SEHR viel besser, wenn auch dennoch ab und an die Verbindung hakt. Samsung Handys scheinen also unter Umständen besser zu funktionieren, als Handys von Drittanbietern.
Die Buds Live haben bedingt durch die Bauart keine so gute Abschirmung wie klassische In-Ear. Somit kommen Aussengeräusche durch, was im öffentlichen Verkehr positiv ist. (Geschmackssache)
Der Klang ist gut (subjektiv), der Bass sehr ordentlich, die Lautstärke geht auch hoch. Der Klang verglichen mit den Buds+ oder auch teureren In-Ears von Sony oder Sennheiser ist schlechter. Der Klang löst nicht so fein auf, was für die meisten Nutzer wahrscheinlich nebensächlich ist.
Die App ist gut bis sehr gut.
ANC... ist vorhanden jedoch nicht vergleichbar mit anderen In-Ears... hier haben z.B Sony ganz klar die Nase vorn
Die Passform ist für normale Ohren sehr gut, bei kleinen Ohren (Frauen) sieht das evtl. anders aus. Wenn Ihr bei normalen In-Ears den kleinsten Aufsatz nimmt, werden die Beans etwas drücken.
Bei mittelgroßen Ohren sind die Hörer im Ohr, man kann auf einem Kissen liegen und es drückt nichts. (sehr positiv)
Fazit...
Da die Bauart mal etwas anderes ist und die Buds Live im Ohr integriert sind finde ich diese gut. Klang und Akkulaufzeit gehen für mich klar... (bis zu 5:30 Stunden) habe ich geschafft.
Ich kann die Buds Live auf jeden Fall empfehlen und werde diese auch behalten.
