    I actually like to have just a little ambient noise come through. Having the ear canal completely blocked by a silicone ear piece makes for nice listening at first but gets uncomfortable after about 45 min. I always liked the original apple EarPods where it would not block your ear completely, phone calls were also good with that because you wouldn’t feel your voice compressed in your skull. These Galaxy buds live give you best of all worlds. Perfect balance.

      The term earpod rarely ever used that I'm aware of. Sounds like people are just sort of accidentally morphing the words earbud and airpod which is understandable. Apple has such a huge chunk of market share, especially in the Western market, that people will generically refer to all earbuds as airpods and all tablets iPads. Kind of like the way Kleenex and whirlpools are technically brand names but people associate them for All tissues or all Jacuzzis.

    Just got mine yesterday and was astounded by how well the Active Noise Cancellation worked. I find the beans to be a a bit too large and uncomfortable, maybe the ANC feature works better for me because it's a tighter fit in my ears. I tried the larger rubber bits thinking I'd hate it because they're already tight, but the rubber doesn't help or hurt the comfort. They seem to keep the beans sealed even better with the larger rubber rings. Listening to this video, I turned the ANC on and off, the amount of Air conditioner noise, washing machine noise, and traffic noise from the window is reduced dramatically, while your video is still very clear. Comparing the sound of your video with the ANC on and off I can hear a lot of bass from your voice is filtered out.

      HuaGala iPhXia - well imagine: you can turn off ANC on them and hear a bit of your surrounding as you want it. You also can turn on the ambient mode and hear it clearly as if you’re not wearing any buds. But you CAN turn it on and have good ANC if you need it. Like on a train, plane, neighbors lawn mower, fans in your apartment in the summer 😉
      so please, stop acting as if ANC is a deal breaker because it disconnects you from the world. It’s something you have a choice to use in a matching scenario, or not.
      Meanwhile it’s a completely useless feature on the Buds live, as I does not help in any of that scenarios. But having the buzzword „ANC“ on the package helps pushing the price up.
      Of course the comfort is a good thing. I am not saying everyone needs ANC buds and they are useless without in general.They are just too expensive for what they are. When they go down towards 100-120€ (which will probably happen within 2 monthes) as the other buds did, well then they probably are a go and well worth it.

    These earbuds are not made for ANC. I don't know why you would want to drown out the world while you are out walking. Personally I would like to be able to hear if a car is coming up nearby or someone is trying to pass me on a bike and yells out to warn me.
    The whole point of these earbuds and what Samsung is pushing is the comfort. These are made to be worn for long periods of time and still be able to hear things around you. Even the ANC is pushed as being more comfortable since it won't give you that weird uncomfortable dissonance effect some people experience.
    The ANC is just a bonus feature not the feature you should buy these for.

I have weird ears that I struggle with earbuds. These fit well and are so light and comfortable that you barely notice them. Nice bass, clear voices and good volume. The only thing is that the ANC is really not the best feature. It does do something, but not much.

    Thank you so much for this very helpful review! I am loving my buds. To be honest though, I find that the noise cancelling indeed does work to a certain extent. It encounters problems when high frequensies are present, but they do succeed in blocking out lower frequensies. When using it on a plane it took care of the hum of the jet motors and at school they do block the majority of noise in places with a lot of people, though it has problems with voices where there are fewer people. There was a slight hissing when the buds blocked out sound from masses of people, but I found it easier to deal with and that it felt like the buds adapted, though it might just be me who adapted to the hissing. All in all a great product. Thanks again!

      I took was confused as to what Active Noise was at first since I couldn't hear any difference. But today at work I turned it on our lunch room and yes indeed it does filter out the hum of the refrigerator, heater running, etc. But strangely it lets things like random coughs, chair slides, and door opening to be heard. Are those not considered active noise then? I still the passthrough feature of the Buds+ should have remained. Or as I like to call it, Bionic Hearing.

    For me, ANC is useful when I'm in audiophile mode (i.e. in the cave) listening to my fav music and I want to hear every note and exquisite reverberation, but in my regular day to day activities ambient noise is critical to my being aware of what's going on. Whether its my wife or son calling me, traffic when I'm outside, the PA announcement when I'm at the gym etc... I think many of these reviewers have difficulty understanding that different products have different design intents. Comparing an F-150 to a Tesla feature for feature is silly, the design intent for each is vastly different even though they both have four wheels.

    I have the buds for a while now, it is not noise cancelling at all instead it amplifies the noise outside. Walking beside a highway, you would no longer hear the music you are playing even at max, instead you hear the noise vibrating more in your ear. It is not a snug fit as well on all ears, it fits my right ear but not at all on my left ear. It falls out all the time and my left bud is full of scratches because of this. Sound is pretty good if you are in a not so noisy environment. Battery is amazing though.

    This was an enjoyable and thorough review. The only thing I noted was the title lists one fatal flaw, which is later described as the poor ANC but all of the pluses described by the open ear design (comfort, not having to remove them to have a conversation, etc.) were obviously going to create limitations for the ANC so I'd not describe that as a fatal flaw but more of a compromise who's value depends on your particular needs. Not a complaint or meant to lower the value of the review. Perhaps Samsung should have left ANC off the feature list all together since it's usefulness is questionable but I do commend the effort to create the best of both worlds.

    I couldn't disagree more with the ANC. The ANC is remarkable for what these headphones are, it cuts out low frequencies extremely well and definitely makes you feel more isolated. Comparing the ANC to closed back or in ear ANC doesn't make sense as it's impossible to since it's an open air design by nature. I specifically bought these so i could hear my surrondings without having a wire or big open back headphones and I'm finding the ANC is an added bonus as it helps isolate the music into my ears a bit but still allows me to hear knocks on the door, peoples voices etc. I was in a room with a very loud low frequency fan and I actually turned it on (despite that fact it was already running) because I couldn't hear it. High frequencies are another thing, but if you want that type of ANC you gotta get in ear.

    I think your expectation for active noise cancelling is a bit off. ANC works much better against the sound of frequencies that are constant and don't vary too much - such as that of a car or jet engine. Too many variations make it hard for the ANC to work and is made more difficult by not having a proper seal. I wouldn't buy these for ANC. If you want SUPERB ANC you need to upgrade to a headphone, and get either Bose's or Sony's latest premium ANC offerings.

  • @dominicfeeney3817

    Great honest review well done. I have the original Galaxy buds and love them. They connect seamlessly, last a long time, sound good, fit well etc etc. They have tips that go into the ear they, block out everything which is a blessing and a curse depending on the situation and it does get a little uncomfortable if in the ear all day long. Also they are rubbish for calls. People always say they cant hear me properly and i have to take them out and grab my phone to continue the call. I am very close to pulling the trigger on these as compared to my original buds they would likely be more comfortable and it seems better for calls - but if these are the only 2 benefits over my buds its hard to justify £180. Now if they sound dramatically better than mine then Im sold. My buds have one driver only (not sure the size) the newer galaxy buds plus have 2 drivers and according to reviews sound a bit better than mine. Whats the deal with these ones? Im assuming the 12mm driver is much bigger and better sounding than the one in mine. They also have the bass port on them too... If they are a big sound performance upgrade Ill get them

    I bought them a week ago and although I'm a fan of Samsung, I'm very disappointed. The sound is really good but the connection fails when the device connected is not that far and today especially, the touch controls were not responsive at all!
    I have a pair of PaMu Slide and they work much better in general. The same when I connected my wife's AirPods with my S10+: I walked around all over our flat and the connection was not cut out as it happened with the buds live several times in just 1 week. For the sync, when watching videos on TH-cam there's also a big lag. On the other hand, the AirPods again are surprisingly very well synchronised.

    @iamking5103 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Since you listed all of the Pros.......
    Cons.
    1. The wearable app requires you to allow all permission all the time only. They give you the option to deny or only allow while using the app, but if you chose either of those it will close out the app and you won't be able to use it.
    2. You have no control over what is allowed. If you don't want Bixby on your device... Too bad, you don't want it to have your location all the time..... Too bad, Calendar, Contacts, microphone, SMS etc. too bad. If you go into your device and stop any of them you're no longer allowed to listen to music. ( I only want to hear music. You don't need to invade my privacy to listen to music)
    3. The Bluetooth sucks, all songs sound chopped and screwed when running. Paired my buds with the watch 3 and my music sounds like a scratched CD. The Bluetooth is extremely choppy when running. The music was smooth while in the house but as soon and I started to jog they kept loosing signal and quickly reconnecting. (yes I offline downloaded one of my Playlist from Spotify on my watch) who's to blame the new watch or the new buds or the company who made them both?
    4. The speaker is the small area on the front tip which means these have to be perfectly placed in your ear which takes a bit. You will hear you left sounding better than your right, only to adjust the right where it then sounds better than the left.
    5. It's 2020 I thought we were done with shiny. Can we get a Matt color?
    6. No wall charger, I get it I have about a thousand of them anyway, but it's the principle.
    I do like a lot though,
    They didn't fall out of my ear not once in a three mile run in Arizona 111 degree weather. The charging case is pretty bad azz. Getting the buds to fit in you ear is easy but you gonna have to do some fishing to get the speaker to align with your ear canal while making sure they don't fall out.
    Update
    #3 so I replaced the last pair of buds Saturday 8/15, went running with the new ones today 8/17 and they worked flawless at first. Then about a mile in we went right back to the crappy Bluetooth scratched cd sound, where the audio goes in and out. Before sending them back this time I'm going to use my Bose qc30 with my galaxy watch 3 that way I can rule out the new watch connection. I will have my girl use the kidney beans on her galaxy watch to see if its doing the same crappy Bluetooth thing with hers.
    8/18 paired the Galaxy watch 3 with Bose qc30 and they worked perfectly ......so its not the watch.
    paired the galaxy buds live with my girls galaxy watch and she said the Bluetooth was goin in an out the entire climb (verrado Stairs)
    will be returning these galaxy buds live for a third pair them in going to completely rule them out as being defective. 3 strikes you're out.
    8/19 same issue, saying goodbye to these. I really wanted them too...

These are not supposed to work as in-ear earbuds.
