SeekerSamsung Galaxy Buds Live
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live is a strange product. The earbuds claim to block out noise, but they can’t seal to the ear, which is very important. Still, the noise canceling does work to some extent.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live are good – but not great – true wireless earbuds. They have a number of neat features and offer a combined 28-hour battery life, but their sound isn’t amazing, and the noise cancellation has a lot of room for improvement. They’re certainly unique, but those interested in high-end sound quality and excellent ANC over a conversation-starting design should look elsewhere.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Buds Live have a very unique, bean-shaped design that sets them apart from AirPods. They sit in your ears without any silicone ear tips, but they still deliver good sound quality and long battery life.

Samsung deserves credit for taking the risk on a weird new design with the Buds Live, not least because for the most part these deliver on their promise. They’re extremely comfortable, surprisingly stable, and honestly after a while you do sort of forget the whole beans bit.

The Galaxy Buds Live are an interesting set of true wireless earbuds, featuring an atypical bean-shape design. On paper spec sheet is impressive and matches, if not beats, their main AirPod competition. But sadly, they still fail to fully deliver in one crucial area: audio.
