Samsung Galaxy Buds Live Review | One Fatal Flaw

Review of Samsung's Galaxy Buds Live, its latest True Wireless Earbuds for 2020 with Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and a unique design. I've been testing the Buds Live for a few days now and I love the sound quality, design and controls. However, the noise cancellation is ineffectual, especially compared with some rivals. So if you're after peace, you'll want to look elsewhere.
Samsung's Buds are going from strength to strength as far as the audio chops go. Rock, metal, dance and other pulse=pounding music genres are well catered for, with crisp detail and punchy bass. Vocals also sound fantastic.
Likewise, Sammy has nailed the touch controls here on the Buds Live. Plus that design, while very unique, makes for a comfortable fit all day long. Battery life is also respectable given the dinky size, so you can jam to your tunes for around seven hours before slipping these true wireless earbuds back inside the case.
Unfortunately they won't block out noise from all around you, like the Sony WF buds. So commuters will want to look elsewhere. Check out my reviews of other best earphones and earbuds of 2020 for more inspiration.

I don't know why the lack of ANC is such a huge letdown for these reviewer's. It's an open back earbuds and the ANC is advertised for being only for low frequency. These whole things are around comfort and that's what Samsung is pushing. They are not pushing the ANC feature it's just a bonus v

@MattMorey 3 года назад

I feel the same way about a lot of the reviews coming in on these. They're dinging the buds for not completely shutting out the outside world, yet it's not even part of the design and never was. In fact, I don't want something that won't let me hear the car coming down the street or the biker on the trail.

@@juggernaugh75321 I totally agree with you. I use the Huawei Freebuds 3 and when I walk outside I feel great with the ANC being not too strong like the Airpods Pro because I can hear vehicles sounds around me and can notice if someone talks to me.

@RoHan-83 3 года назад

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.

@DeputyBurbank 3 года назад

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. @@nonegone7170

Thank you for a good honest review. I am looking to purchase these myself and it was very helpful to see someone reviewing them against the points that matter to me too. Very useful, although I agree with some others in the comments for me personally it's good that it doesn't cancel all the noise, but you are right, if they offer this feature in the speck it should really work, so I get your point there. Thank you again.

@dlczer 3 года назад

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.

Got these yesterday, tried them out today and travelled on public transport. I listened to both music and audio books. I have to say that I had no issues at all with connection, sound or fit. 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. If this is not an essential for you then they are worth the purchase if it is id not bother and look elsewhere such as my previous pair of earbuds the jabra elite active 75t

@ingvehetjand2439 2 года назад

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!

@davidgesell 2 года назад

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.

@scottyanderson7263 Год назад

Long time user of these. Love em. So comfortable, even over long periods. I like to be able to hear ambient sounds when I use these. ANC doesn't matter to me, I use different headphones on planes and in my workshop. The ability to locate these is a valuable feature often overlooked, and the very reason I've had these years longer than other tws.

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.

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.

@allanhaynes2758 3 года назад

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.

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

Can you still hear the outside world when listening to music at about 70% volume? Like traffic or subway

@jcru40 3 года назад

No they sound great and does drown outside noise when listening to music at 70% . They sound great and its better to hear some of surroundings because it's safer . With plugs in your ear and crossing streets and other things can be dangerous so i do appreciate these buds live. And i got tired of the rubber ear tips stuffing my ears from the jabra 75t. If I want noise Cancelation I have quality over ear headphones . But for everyday use these buds are great

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.

Do the buds live stay in the ears while working out, running or do they fall off easily? I'm contemplating between the buds + & buds live

@tomes42069 3 года назад

Im currently using the buds live right now, they are wierd they have great sound but they fall out if your ears are not the right shape(i got small ears) im going to trade them for the buds plus

I currently own the original galaxy buds and I absolutely love them as they are. My only complaint, call quality aside, is that i can bearly hear anything that happens in my surroundings (and they dont have ANC). im a person that likes to know whats happening around me. Yes, they have ambient sound but this one time i was walking down the street and there was the sound of tires screeching and then a loud bang!…. There was an accident close to me and i couldnt tell wich way the sound came from, if I would’ve been included in the accident i wouldnt be able to react correctly… i absolutely need to hear my surroundings. Having said that i DO NOT care about ANC, every review ive seen about these buds, they say the same: they’re awesome earbuds but the ANC is crap, and i get it, if they adevertise something it should work… but for me they will work perfectly… im currently looking for a good deal cause i want to upgrade my OG Buds to the Live… im going full bean mode🤓
