Bought these earbuds originally in 2019 and I have not been disappointed.

I have tried several other types and brands but none of them come close to the sound quality or durability of these bad boys!

The noise cancellation is also fantastic on them as well as the battery life.

They’re a bit hard to track down now as Samsung have stopped selling them and only sell the newer versions, unfortunately.

Be aware that some of the newer versions do not fit airtight in the ears, which means no noise cancellation.

I’ve also recently tried Google Buds and the difference between the audio quality is night and day. Where the Google Buds are tinny with no noise cancellation, the Samsung Buds are deep and rich, with fantastic noise cancellation.

Overall, highly recommended!

    For me, it is the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live. Shaped like beans, the best part is that they don’t plug your ear canal. They have “active noise cancelation” but they do little when they aren’t sealed, I’d rather that they enhanced things like speech or could recognize different sorts of alarms and alerts, muting the playing audio for potential alerts. I know that’s a strange feature few others would probably want. They are absolutely the most comfortable things I’ve ever worn and I wish Samsung would release an update with better batteries and support for non-Samsung devices, or some other manufacturer would release a competing product that brings those better audio codecs. There are some other “open ear” type of designs, but still nothing which really competes in the space.

      What functions only work with Samsung devices? Is it just the ‘360 sound’ thing?
