The Buds Live have a 12mm single speaker, over the smaller ones on the others. Of course it'll have more base, but in turn clarity is worse, which is the one thing I dislike about my Lives. I'm getting the Pros with my S21U pre-order and I'm excited.
Would definitely get the Pros. They are more expensive but have way more tech! Apple fan boy here, but when tech is good, there’s no denying it. Having said that, I waiting to see what the next version of apple’s Pros have to offer. 😬 stay safe.
You should definitely test them paired with a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, in order to benefit from the better quality proprietary Samsung Scalable Codec, instead of the lower quality SBC and aac. Plus, you could add Poweramp music player in the mix and tweak the sound however you like it, with the built-in 10 bands equalizer. Poweramp alone with its custom DSPs, can make shitty headphones sound decent, and good headphones sound amazing. It's the best audio player i've ever used and the main reason i'm not leaving Android anytime soon.
Pretty much the whole 'sound review' segment was ruined by the fact you didn't try this with a Samsung device. A retest with a Samsung device would be great.
I’m glad he actually did. I am an iPhone user now. Switched after having the Galaxy Buds Plus and I ordered these. I still have an android phone to put the settings into the earbuds but I will be using them primarily with the iPhone. IPX7 is a major selling point and scares me to get AirPod pros with only ipx4. So I appreciate this sort of a review.
the best thing about the buds live is that it doesn't isolate the user from the real world while wearing them, which is a huge advantage for busy people who have social tasks.
I own both, Live and Pro, both are always in my shirt pocket, the lives is for the natural ambient mode, and the Pros is when I want to Isolate my self from the world, I use both everyday, I had the Airpods but they don't work seamless with Android so I gave them to my wife.
Yep Samsung is pulling a apple this year. The best features and sound is only accessible through a Samsung product. I think they should keep it that way. Apple will never support a Samsung device or any Android device.
I went from the buds to the buds plus and wasn't really that great of a change in sound. After a few months a upgrade to the buds live and the sound quality and the punchy bass is really amazing . Also with the buds plus when running they always move little by little out from my ear canal, but with the buds live not at all. If you already have the bud live no need to upgrade at all.
There's no more android users among TH-cam reviewers. They all jumped to 12 pro max few months back. Dearth of videos of them explaining why they switched.
@@EidLigata because all these TH-camrs use a mac to edit their videos, and they need a phone that can easily sync all its data into their Mac. And that device is iPhone, not Android. Android is not capable of creating their own hardware and software like Apple.

I tried out the pro for 2 weeks and sent it back. The sound quality on the pro is awesome. But the ear tips is hard. It hurts my ears and it doesn't stay in the ear. Tried all sizes. The battery life is a big disappointment. Back to the bud+.
Sell them to decrease the price Samsung headphone are not awful but they clearly can't compete with apple, Sony, jabra ... You better get one of those instead of keeping buds pro.
@@adarion2994 yeah good call however for me I'd rather not spend extra money or time. I'm no audiophile so I suspect the buds pro will good enough. I like the wear app functions and the promise of spatial audio which I would trade for the slightly better audio and ANC of the others. Apple are a no no since they only work well with iPhones and are pricier
I have both the AirPods Pro and the Buds Live. As someone who takes the bus regularly, the AirPods Pro are my go to, but the deal with different ear tips aren’t great. Foam tips help a little. Once I’m at work, the Buds Live give me the fit I need where I don’t have to worry about them falling out.
Yoo you gotta use a Samsung phone , not an iPhone for the full experience. Its like trying to compare Airpods Pro connected to a Pixel device lol. You know what you're doing 😉
I've watched a few other reviews on the buds pro and the general consensus regarding the noise cancellation is that It DOES work...HOWEVER how effective it is depends on how tight a seal it creates which is more dependent on the user's ear since the pros lack the customizable wingtips on the buds plus. one reviewer in particular said it initially did nothing for him as it didn't create a tight seal so he tested bud tips from Bose and apple and in both cases the noise cancellation worked perfectly since it was now a better fit. honesty the lack of a customizable fit is the one reason I'm considering sticking with my buds plus
@@terminator1562 i dont blame you bro i used to be an apple guy then i switch to samsung ever since galaxy s6 edge released but now im looking into LG or even google Pixel tbh at least they are doing something right both iphone 12 amd galaxy 21 are a huge disappointment who makes a phone out of plastic? With no sd card? No phone jack? No s pen? No phone charger ? No earphones? Major downgrades. Im sticking with my note 20 ultra 5g bronze and my galaxy buds live bronze and galaxy watch 3 bronze. Ill even get the iphone x or even the galaxy s10 those were amazing phones iphone made a good phone 2 years ago ans also samsung. Now this year and last year its trash. I ratger get LG or Google lol
I found the buds pro to have extremely great active noise once I put bigger rubber tips for max use. Probably about 95% compared to the live (75%), and Galaxy Buds and Buds Plus (85%).
I got them refurbished, and it didn't come with bigger tips. I thought I got scammed or something. The sound was quiet, and lacked bass. The anc was non existent, and the noise ambience sucked. Bigger tips solved the issue.
First I bought my buds +. Over time, I noticed how quiet my buds + became. I didn't know that the buds + were so sensitive to moisture. Sweat ruined my buds + because of my intense cardio. The buds pro are sweat and water resistant. I got them after 6 months. I don't care about the battery life. I could hardly hear anything with the buds +. Don't do any sport with them!
@@maniiiiiii13 there's a game mode to reduce latency but if only you use samsung device. Mic is clear and loud, i always make phone call with budslive for hours. But if you want buds for gaming, maybe you can try soundpeats H1, cek the review on kenneth tanaka channel.
@@viditranka9269 Before using BudsLive, i'm using silicone type earbuds, soundpeats trueengine 3se but i cannot wear it more than 5 minutes because i don't like the preasure. BudsLive for me is the best pair, it's loud and clear, bassy.
I’ll be using the Buds Pro with an iPhone and an iPad. Samsung has been using the Harman IEM Target tuning on these. The buds have been consistently good with the exception of the buds live.
I'm going to agree that the Galaxy Buds Live are fantastic! Annnnnnd if you go into your equalizer, you can really crank up the bass even more if you like, and they don't distort at all!
Which will be best for light running? I would assume the lives, due to them looking to fit in the ear canal better. But its hard to say when you are watching a review.
My issue with the Pros are the way they fit in the ear. They sound really good, when you have the right ear and the right tip. When you don't, then it sounds like distant phone audio. I was severely disappointed when I first got them, thinking I had been scammed (got refurbished). Not only was the sound bad, they were also really quiet, and the anc didn't work worth a crap. Got some different tips, and it's like a whole new pair of earbuds.
If we were to judge just by the reactions, without words from you, man, you with beans, look like a kid in a toy store! I have the buds plus and I won't update yet if the differences in price are so high for not such a difference in quality!
I use the Buds Live, and while I can agree with EDM sounding great, it isn't consistent. My favorite EDMs sound way more muted on the Lives then they do on my spare Buds+ and I assume the Pro. For anything else the Lives just don't sound great tbh. I'm getting the Pros soon.
How are the Lives for talk radio/podcasts? I'm not getting the Pros - I feel I'd rather have the battery time on my Pluses than the so-so ANC on the Pros.
Using the Buds Live and love them. Not the best for noise cancellation but for sound quality, comfort, mic clarity, it’s the best. It’s got better base than the buds plus. Not waterproof but you can sleep with these in your ears.
Buds Live for me any day:) It is exactly what a pair of Bluetooth earbuds should be, great comfort and ANC that still allow users to be aware of surrounding. Not to mention just how great the audio quality is
Everything u said is right except for the ANC comment. ANC is supposed to block out all other sounds. That's why they made it adjustable and provided live listening
I love your vids but I continue holding off from buying a laptop as they keep releasing new stuff. Is the 13" ok or should I wait for the 14" ?? Big like for you as always. P.S, have you thought about reviewing crypto? Everyone is talking about it
I love that Rock song by Nine Lashes. They are one of my top favorite bands. I got the chance to see the lead singer sing and play acoustic guitar by himself.
12:54, the Galaxy Beans to me just have live-listen as is, the ambient mode is the most redundant option ever, ANC might as well not exist with the beans......
Bud Lives are the only ones that actually fit and stay in my ears. I have never been able to use in-ear headphones. Airpods Pro stay in my ears (*the* best ANC to me), no others. Critiquing headphones and their sounds are so _subjective._ Nice review! Thanks.
Idk, I can have my buds live playing my music at work for my entire shift. That's 8-10 hours...hoping my pros that are in the mail are the same! I love thes case as well especially the sound! Mmm the sound! But the lives fit in my ear weird, and they would hurt after a while and I'd have to adjust all the time. They actually fell out my ear once and down into my forklift. We had to take my forklift apart to retrieve them. That's why I ordered the pros, and cause they come in purple haha
how do you feel about the transition between two drivers? I am really concerned about the quality of the crossover. I tried a few dual driver consumer-oriented earbuds before and they all have very bloated bass and a huge dip around 200 Hz - 500Hz, which is probably where the two drivers' frequency ranges overlap.
As an android user, after switching to the AirPods Pro a week ago, I find it very difficult to to go back to any version of Galaxy Buds. The ANC and the Transparency mode are incredible. Even though there isn't native compatibility with android, I feel "Material Pods" app does a pretty good job.
im so confused about the NC thing. Like Im using the AKG cable earphones that come with Samsung and they have no NC yet if I listen on 50% volume i cant hear shit. So Im inbetween Buds Live and Pro /fancing the lives more/ but i cant figure if both of them do better than AKG or ney. My priorities are comfort and not being bothered when listening to music
I've been using the regular galaxy buds for over a year and the app really makes a difference. The sound from those ear buds imo is reeally good. But I'm still gonna a newer one
I feel affronted by your harsh commentary on the Buds+...alright, not really, but the Buds+ are great ear buds. One feature which I feel is underrated by almost all reviewers, I am sure it should be available on the Buds Live and Buds Pro as well, is "edge control". With edge control you have all functions available on the ear buds, simultaneously. Still, this was an interesting comparison.
Shame to not test EQ but nice review! I have Buds Live and really am impressed with how they sound and how comfy they are. I am keen on the Pros if they sound better (IMO bass lacks a little on the Live but could be my ear shape preventing a great seal and the ANC is essentially useless), this video has definitely made me pause.
Samsung created the sleeves for a tighter fit on the Buds Live. Why Samsung or no one ever thought of making a sleeve with integrated ear tips for it? In theory that would provide the passive noise cancelling for those who wanted them.
Thank you! Super interesting test. The Buds+ are actually my favourite over my AirPods Pro. I love the battery time and I find the passive block is almost as good as the ANC on the AirPods Pro. The ambient mode on the Buds+ is SO bad though 😂 I don't think the Buds Pro is worth twice as much as the Buds+ when the ANC is just mediocre. I will have to try the Buds Live some day and see how they stack up.
The Live is the best ... I had the plus and they never fit my ear 👂 i tried all the sizes and still the never stayed in. I'm loving the live .. the are loud enough for me the sound is clearand they don't hurt.
The buds live may be good and fit great because of the shape. But having own a pair and tried them in real life situations the would be the last earphones i would recommend. A little wind or having them in jacket pockets they keep losing connection. And that's a deal breaker, returned them the same week. Don't buy or try before doing so.
app hasn't been updated for Samsung phones either, you have to w8 till 29th...kinda bad move by Samsung. Also Active noise cancellation doesn't work on Buds pro yet, the software update for that will also come on the 29th Jan! again, no idea why Samsung has done this, it's just bad PR!
@@demon6937 well, I had the chance of playing with them for a couple of hours courtesy of my roommate. and I can say that no one should regret preordering them: 1- Sound quality is in a different class compared to Buds+, you don't even need to be a pro in sound quality in order to recognize the difference. 2- call quality is unreal, the noise cancelling on Mic works great and it's freakishly loud. and it's arguably much better than AirPods Pro and we already know how great AirPods are(call quality) 3- the buds sit far less aggressively in the ear canal compared to Buds+. 4- Max Tech is an Apple oriented channel :P they don't really know how to set the buds up and use the options that Android and Samsung offer :D still does not make Samsung's decision to release a product before it's software any less stupid though!
@@doman9891 I'm still using my buds+ and thinking if it is worth to upgrade with the galaxy pros. Also not sure if gaming mode in Labs setting does anything.
@@demon6937 my first suggestion would be WAIT :) lets get the software and see how it works... I use my Buds+ too, but on a personal level, I have really small ear canals and using Buds pro even for this 1 reason would be enough for me, so I will most likely get the Buds pro(not preordering, no rush) gaming mode is still in the Lab...and donno they may change it with the update and I couldn't test that 3D sound either. you know Buds+ are amazing, Buds pro already felt MUCH better in almost every aspect. it won't be a bad purchase, just not sure you can justify it dollar by dollar yet.
@@terminator1562 Smells like an Apple fan in here. The AirPods Pro are indeed excellent value if you have an Apple device, especially considering they frequently go for sale as low as $200. But they are not THE BEST. If someone wants the best possible earbuds, they can easily look forward to spending more than a grand.
Excellent video Max. I'm sticking with my Galaxy Buds+. The 11 hours of listening time hasn't been beat yet by Samsung. The Lives aren't for me with open placement in the ears. The Pros have great water proofing but Samsung needs to do more for me to upgrade. What can I say for now I love my Buds+. Thank you
Sadly my dad got me the galaxy buds live but I won't get a chance to use them as they are too big to fit, I think a smaller size would be great so I can have the same experience
Not sure if you're aware, but you're wearing beans wrong (I'm not the one saying this but Samsung instructions), You're shoving them into ear canal. This explains why you're having the extra loudness, base and soundstage, at the expense of reception and comfort (ears may differ).
2 questions: 1) does it have separate volume controls on an actual bud ( those that dont, once you connect them to TV you cant control volume with TV remote! ) and 2) can you connect it to TV/Amazon Firestick?
Max let me ask you something because you have tried all buds. I bought the buds and the buds+ but my ears hurt after 40 min of using them and can't stand them, so i ended up selling them adn went back to use the ones that comes with the S20. So much confy and can use them for hours but big sound quality Now, the pro got no fins because they removed them but i don't know if it will be the same soreness after using them more 40+min as i experienced with the buds+. I don't know and i don't want to buy them because if that happens i will end up selling them and losing money. Don't know what to do...

They suck
Less is more. I have Galaxy Buds Live and it sounds great! 🙂
Yes i love live more and mystic bronze♥️♥️
Which will be best for light running? I would assume the lives, due to them looking to fit in the ear canal better. But its hard to say when you are watching a review.
Damn those galaxy buds looks fashionable compare to airpods. Might get one even though i have iphone 12.
That is such a wrong move
@@TohPhimmasenh why ???
@@cubanrichh5545 He has an iphone, the integration betweet airpods and apple devices is so much better
@@TohPhimmasenh There is still the wearables app on iOS tat will let him customise it as much on a Samsung device
Lol I use galaxy buds on my iPhone too lol
My issue with the Pros are the way they fit in the ear. They sound really good, when you have the right ear and the right tip. When you don't, then it sounds like distant phone audio. I was severely disappointed when I first got them, thinking I had been scammed (got refurbished). Not only was the sound bad, they were also really quiet, and the anc didn't work worth a crap. Got some different tips, and it's like a whole new pair of earbuds.
this just comes to show that apple is on another level on the AirPods department
Except the sound quality.
@@matthewmanzi9504 nah. Apple has better sound quality ngl
Fact, bears eat beets.

If we were to judge just by the reactions, without words from you, man, you with beans, look like a kid in a toy store! I have the buds plus and I won't update yet if the differences in price are so high for not such a difference in quality!
im getting mine for free pretty soon since i ordered a galaxy s21 5g phone! im actually sooo exciteddd
I use the Buds Live, and while I can agree with EDM sounding great, it isn't consistent. My favorite EDMs sound way more muted on the Lives then they do on my spare Buds+ and I assume the Pro. For anything else the Lives just don't sound great tbh. I'm getting the Pros soon.
How are the Lives for talk radio/podcasts? I'm not getting the Pros - I feel I'd rather have the battery time on my Pluses than the so-so ANC on the Pros.
Im upgrading from the galaxy buds original so hoping for a big difference
Yep... about 150 bucks hahaha
@@k88kee Hahahahahahahaaaaa
I have the Buds Plus
Using the Buds Live and love them. Not the best for noise cancellation but for sound quality, comfort, mic clarity, it’s the best. It’s got better base than the buds plus. Not waterproof but you can sleep with these in your ears.
Buds Live for me any day:)
It is exactly what a pair of Bluetooth earbuds should be, great comfort and ANC that still allow users to be aware of surrounding. Not to mention just how great the audio quality is
Everything u said is right except for the ANC comment. ANC is supposed to block out all other sounds. That's why they made it adjustable and provided live listening
I saw them in retail today..i am so confused with the names.
R u SERIOUS like 'the BEANS fell out'? 1:05
Testing Samsung Ear buds using an iPhone? Really max?
i🐑 things 🤣🤣
What does it change???
@@cubanrichh5545 These buds were optimized to work best with the samsung app so the quality will be better if you use it with the samsung phone .
We iPhone users are curious about Sammy products too. Pure entertainment.
@@iLuisMiguel i have both iphone and samsung phones and i can't prefer one over the other .
I love your vids but I continue holding off from buying a laptop as they keep releasing new stuff. Is the 13" ok or should I wait for the 14" ?? Big like for you as always. P.S, have you thought about reviewing crypto? Everyone is talking about it
13 inches is fine for must people but if you want a bigger screen just go with 14 inch. Not really a massive difference
Bigger is always better ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@1wb7kj his review on the M1 13" said it is much better than lugging around a 16"
I love that Rock song by Nine Lashes. They are one of my top favorite bands. I got the chance to see the lead singer sing and play acoustic guitar by himself.
I thought my Spotify started itself up when it started playing, lol
12:54, the Galaxy Beans to me just have live-listen as is, the ambient mode is the most redundant option ever, ANC might as well not exist with the beans......
Bud Lives are the only ones that actually fit and stay in my ears. I have never been able to use in-ear headphones. Airpods Pro stay in my ears (*the* best ANC to me), no others. Critiquing headphones and their sounds are so _subjective._ Nice review! Thanks.
Idk, I can have my buds live playing my music at work for my entire shift. That's 8-10 hours...hoping my pros that are in the mail are the same! I love thes case as well especially the sound! Mmm the sound! But the lives fit in my ear weird, and they would hurt after a while and I'd have to adjust all the time. They actually fell out my ear once and down into my forklift. We had to take my forklift apart to retrieve them. That's why I ordered the pros, and cause they come in purple haha
how do you feel about the transition between two drivers?
I am really concerned about the quality of the crossover. I tried a few dual driver consumer-oriented earbuds before and they all have very bloated bass and a huge dip around 200 Hz - 500Hz, which is probably where the two drivers' frequency ranges overlap.
As an android user, after switching to the AirPods Pro a week ago, I find it very difficult to to go back to any version of Galaxy Buds. The ANC and the Transparency mode are incredible. Even though there isn't native compatibility with android, I feel "Material Pods" app does a pretty good job.
im so confused about the NC thing. Like Im using the AKG cable earphones that come with Samsung and they have no NC yet if I listen on 50% volume i cant hear shit. So Im inbetween Buds Live and Pro /fancing the lives more/ but i cant figure if both of them do better than AKG or ney. My priorities are comfort and not being bothered when listening to music
AKG cable headphones is the best all of them in sounds of music, no charges...but sometimes you need update and feel free without cable
I've been using the regular galaxy buds for over a year and the app really makes a difference. The sound from those ear buds imo is reeally good. But I'm still gonna a newer one
Watched this video while wearing the buds live, and I agree, they sound amazing.
I will wait until they release ultra version 😅
I have the Plus. Don't like the shape of the live and the pros are nice but can't justify upgrading right now 😅
I feel affronted by your harsh commentary on the Buds+...alright, not really, but the Buds+ are great ear buds. One feature which I feel is underrated by almost all reviewers, I am sure it should be available on the Buds Live and Buds Pro as well, is "edge control". With edge control you have all functions available on the ear buds, simultaneously. Still, this was an interesting comparison.
Veeery Honest reviewer that's what I like to see as a customer trying to make a decision
Can you do Buds Pro vs AirPods Pro?
ill bet you $1000 the airpods pro will win
@@terminator1562 I think the same
Yes do it compare
Shame to not test EQ but nice review! I have Buds Live and really am impressed with how they sound and how comfy they are. I am keen on the Pros if they sound better (IMO bass lacks a little on the Live but could be my ear shape preventing a great seal and the ANC is essentially useless), this video has definitely made me pause.
Samsung created the sleeves for a tighter fit on the Buds Live. Why Samsung or no one ever thought of making a sleeve with integrated ear tips for it? In theory that would provide the passive noise cancelling for those who wanted them.
Hi Max, I just receive my buds pro too. I'm wondering if the lid of charging case feels loose and wobbles easily after you lift it up.
What buds do you recommend to use with a motorcycle helmet? for gps guidance and wind noise isolation?
Thank you! Super interesting test. The Buds+ are actually my favourite over my AirPods Pro. I love the battery time and I find the passive block is almost as good as the ANC on the AirPods Pro. The ambient mode on the Buds+ is SO bad though 😂
I don't think the Buds Pro is worth twice as much as the Buds+ when the ANC is just mediocre. I will have to try the Buds Live some day and see how they stack up.
The Live is the best ... I had the plus and they never fit my ear 👂 i tried all the sizes and still the never stayed in. I'm loving the live .. the are loud enough for me the sound is clearand they don't hurt.
I been waiting for this kind of video thanks
The buds live may be good and fit great because of the shape. But having own a pair and tried them in real life situations the would be the last earphones i would recommend. A little wind or having them in jacket pockets they keep losing connection. And that's a deal breaker, returned them the same week. Don't buy or try before doing so.
Which song you’re using ? Plz
Rock song is Never Back Down by Nine lashes
Got the pros for 12 bucks with my 78 dollar s21 haha! Great deal. So far, love the buds. Phone hasn't come yet ofc.
Yeah sure
@@niekbolier9309 with tradeins and preordering you can get it for that cheap
Maybe you could have waited until you had a Samsung phone to get the full experience
thanks man.
this was helpful for the skeptical me for choosing buds live.
I have the live and plus, but live take the dub all day. Definitely worth it with discounts.
I have a pixel and my buds plus failed on me. Which makes me wanna replace them with the pro or live but I loved the plus so I'm not sure
app hasn't been updated for Samsung phones either, you have to w8 till 29th...kinda bad move by Samsung.
Also Active noise cancellation doesn't work on Buds pro yet, the software update for that will also come on the 29th Jan! again, no idea why Samsung has done this, it's just bad PR!
many youtubers complained for that one and ANC is wack. Made people regret for preordering.
@@demon6937 well, I had the chance of playing with them for a couple of hours courtesy of my roommate. and I can say that no one should regret preordering them:
1- Sound quality is in a different class compared to Buds+, you don't even need to be a pro in sound quality in order to recognize the difference.
2- call quality is unreal, the noise cancelling on Mic works great and it's freakishly loud.
and it's arguably much better than AirPods Pro and we already know how great AirPods are(call quality)
3- the buds sit far less aggressively in the ear canal compared to Buds+.
4- Max Tech is an Apple oriented channel :P they don't really know how to set the buds up and use the options that Android and Samsung offer :D
still does not make Samsung's decision to release a product before it's software any less stupid though!
@@doman9891 I'm still using my buds+ and thinking if it is worth to upgrade with the galaxy pros. Also not sure if gaming mode in Labs setting does anything.
@@demon6937 my first suggestion would be WAIT :) lets get the software and see how it works...
I use my Buds+ too, but on a personal level, I have really small ear canals and using Buds pro even for this 1 reason would be enough for me, so I will most likely get the Buds pro(not preordering, no rush) gaming mode is still in the Lab...and donno they may change it with the update and I couldn't test that 3D sound either.
you know Buds+ are amazing, Buds pro already felt MUCH better in almost every aspect. it won't be a bad purchase, just not sure you can justify it dollar by dollar yet.
@@doman9891 yeah let me know your thoughts if you can get one. Cheers
Buds Live + Buds Plus = Buds Pro :)))
WHICH EQUAL SHIT CUZ AIRPOD PROS ARE THE BEST
@@terminator1562 Smells like an Apple fan in here. The AirPods Pro are indeed excellent value if you have an Apple device, especially considering they frequently go for sale as low as $200. But they are not THE BEST. If someone wants the best possible earbuds, they can easily look forward to spending more than a grand.
Excellent video Max. I'm sticking with my Galaxy Buds+. The 11 hours of listening time hasn't been beat yet by Samsung. The Lives aren't for me with open placement in the ears. The Pros have great water proofing but Samsung needs to do more for me to upgrade. What can I say for now I love my Buds+. Thank you
Sadly my dad got me the galaxy buds live but I won't get a chance to use them as they are too big to fit, I think a smaller size would be great so I can have the same experience
Should I buy these buds pro to use with my iPhone?
Awesome review! Keep it up u really helped me decide
Are the case of the galaxy buds plus compatible with the buds pro??? Please answer
Ayyyy, nine lashes on the rock test! good choice!
I love "Cancer" by them
What about mentioning the "Find my buds" feature on the PRO version. To me it is really important. Do the Galaxy Buds Live have that feature?
Not sure if you're aware, but you're wearing beans wrong (I'm not the one saying this but Samsung instructions),
You're shoving them into ear canal. This explains why you're having the extra loudness, base and soundstage, at the expense of reception and comfort (ears may differ).
Did you off the ambient sound or transparency mode?
2 questions: 1) does it have separate volume controls on an actual bud ( those that dont, once you connect them to TV you cant control volume with TV remote! ) and 2) can you connect it to TV/Amazon Firestick?
Max let me ask you something because you have tried all buds.
I bought the buds and the buds+ but my ears hurt after 40 min of using them and can't stand them, so i ended up selling them adn went back to use the ones that comes with the S20. So much confy and can use them for hours but big sound quality
Now, the pro got no fins because they removed them but i don't know if it will be the same soreness after using them more 40+min as i experienced with the buds+. I don't know and i don't want to buy them because if that happens i will end up selling them and losing money. Don't know what to do...
Samsung Galaxy Buds PLUS have Amazing Battery Time..Love it
I have the Galaxy Buds Live. I love them. Great review
