Why don't any of these reviewers get that the ANC on these aren't supposed to block out everything. They are literally only supposed to block out low-frequency sounds. It lets through higher frequencies by design. It lets you still hear people. THATS THE WHOLE POINT

[@gabbysanchez9910]

Well atleast in a ANC, u cannot hear someone shouting while u wear wireless earbuds with ANC

[@lostgleammedia]

He did make up some, probable, stretching of the truth about his aircon and nextdoor sounds to make the point about the high frequencies being let in.

Samsung fanboy detected ANC means BLOCKING EVERYTHING OUT

[@The44sasquatch]

@@CRXL no it doesn't. Its active noise canceling. The meaning is that it is electronically canceling noise. Any version of this qualifies. Samsung literally said what their ANC does during the press conference for the buds live... expecting something else is just stupid

[@Noir_Baa]

It's dumber to get vaginal in KZbin's comments section. Are you sure you're not a fanboy? You certainly aren't convincing anyone with your infantile replies. Anyway, I'm sure people get that Samsung made their crappy version of ANC very clear. Is that supposed to absolve them of implementing such a crappy version of it on these ear buds, rather than the industry standard people would/should expect, especially when others have done much better already? I mean, if you must be substandard and excuse that, do so by all means. That doesn't, however, excuse justified criticism over this version of ANC they chose for these buds. That's like a dealership slapping lower quality tires on a car, while the rest use more standard, higher quality tires. Any analogy applies here. Why go with a crappy version of ANC when others have implemented better versions? Just because you apparently bow to it doesn't mean it's acceptable. Anyway, transparency is much better and safer anyway. I'd rather tech companies focus on and improve this than ANC. You always want to be aware of your surroundings more.

The things you don't like about the Buds Live are the things I love about them. I don't care if others hear my music, I don't tend to play them overly loud anyway. I love that I can hear what's going on around me and I most definitely LOVE that they don't seal in my ears. These are by far the most comfortable earbuds I've worn and I'm finding myself wearing them pretty much all day. I have small ears and was a bit concerned when I ordered them but they actually feel like they are made for my ears and I forget I have them in. I think people need to consider how they use their earbuds before making a decision between Buds Live and Buds Plus.

Please guys try to know how to wear them right. It took me almost 3 weeks to realize that I was wearing them wrong. I had to realize that the silicon tip that came with it was too small for me. I changed to the larger pair but still wore the buds wrongly. When I finally wore it right, I was like a deaf that heard sound for the first time. I was surprised how tightly and comfortable it sat. So tight, I slept with it, ran with it, yawned, chew, shook my head... 1. The silicone tip you choose is very important, don't just settle for the one that it came with. 2. Make sure the silicone surface is lying totally flat without any visible part peeking at you when you look at your ears. Note: My mistake was that the silicone was not totally flat, I was always seeing a portion of it. I hope I helped. This really, really fits. It's surprising!

I am afraid this reviewer misses the mark about one of the best earbuds out there and for a totally wrong reason. Unless you have a 100% perfect fit with an earbud, which is a rarity, you are fooling yourself if you think you are going to get anywhere close to great or even good ANC. But the Buds Live are the only buds I will ever use. For my ears, as seems to be the case for the above poster, the comfort and fit are better than all others. I want buds that actually fit comfortably and securely in my ears and these are the only ones that do. All those others that demand you really get deep into the ear canal just don't do that with my ears and are exceedingly uncomfortable and unstable. And if I really want ANC, I will use a good pair of over the ear phones. The Buds Live also produce some of the best sound of any earbuds I have heard. And I have zero volume level problems on my iPhone 11 Pro Max - just how loudly is anyone looking to listen to music?

Here are my thoughts just in case it helps anyone else. I just got these and really like them. My biggest reasons are the small profile in the ear, and the fact they don't go too far into the ear. Any earphones or earbuds that have the suction like cups and go in the ear are extremely uncomfortable and hurt my ears after very short use. I understand for noise cancelling, that's preferred, but it's not for me. That's why I like these and that they rest just in the ear and aren't painful. Another is the fact that I work at a call site and we're discouraged from listening to music without some type of earphones or something similar. The Live earphones small profile have helped me listen to music finally during calls. Other bluetooth hds are too big and aren't comfortable with my headset. So for me, these are great for work and every day use. Thanks for the video.

I just bought the Buds live in Bronze few days ago & i have the Buds+ aswell. Below are my impressions after 1 week of use. > Buds Live vs Buds+ - Both has almost the same sound quality, with the Buds Live having a tab bit more volume & bass if the fit is perfect on your ear (depends on the size & shape of the ear). - Since most wont be using the Buds+ 11 hours straight, having more battery on the Buds Live case is more useful (Buds live - 21 on case & Buds+ - 11 on case). The Buds+ case dies after 3 days max but the earbuds itself will last for 3 more days where as the Buds live case will only die after atleast 6-7 days with the buds itself lasting 1 more day (using both for a min. of 5 hours a day) - ANC on the Buds Live are ok for what they are. (reduces around 60% of only low frequency background noice) They are meant to let in some sounds of the surrounding hence the name Buds "LIVE". - Comfort is the main feature of the Buds Live... They sound as good as the buds+ (if the Buds Live fits your ear right) while being comfortable & keeping your attention of the surroundings which is good for long periods of use while outdoors, at work etc...

Thank you btw for your response!!

[@ar.idrees]

@@greyfox8839 Sound is almost the same. Buds Live has a bit more bass and volume. If the buds live fits your ear correctly then it worth it since it has the same quality as the Buds+ and is more comfortable. Overall both are good but for casual use Buds live is comfortable (for KZbin and netflix/ any 2+ hour long sessions ) People who says the Buds Live sound bad is because it doesnt fit properly to their ear so the seal will be bad which causes low quality sound. Buds+ will fit everyone so it will feel like the Buds+ is better, but whats actually happening is both sound the same but Buds Live fits perfectly on few people. If you're overall a big dude with average to large ears then the buds live would fit you fine. If you have small ears buds+ would be a safer option for a better fit. (If apples wired or wireless airpods fit your ear & doesnt cause pain then Buds Live would be fine for you)

[@mariaholmstead4508]

I have tiny ears and autism. I typically like to wear headphones but after a while they bother my ears and my airpods were getting really old, plus I had changed my phone to samsung. I like the discreetness of these earbuds, especially when I go out in public. I can still hear what people are saying but the buds just make them feel a bit further away. I don't think these are supposed to cancel out noise completely. My airpods didn't even do that lol.

[@MJ-we8tf]

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.

had them for several days now: 1. they look really cool 2. the sound is inferior to airpods 1 3. the read notification aloud option is a must have; however for some reason they don't read the full emails but can read the in full other notifications 4. you can't sleep with them - too sensitive to touch 5. the lag is ridiculous - can't even watch a movie 6. battery is great - full day without issues 7. they fall easily from the ears - less stable than the airpods so if you do long drives and need to know about the messages you get and wanna look cool, they are a must. but you need a second pair for everything else.

[@ashash679]

I have a collection of different brands earbuds and from Samsung the Buds Pro and the Buds live. Out of all of them my go to buds are the Buds Live. People totally missunderstand them. They were not made to be the ones with the best ANC or the most isolated sound, they are not. They were made to be THE MOST COMFORTABLE TO WEAR bc YOU DON'T STICK any sillicon or ruber or plastic or foam in your ear canals. You stick NOTHING in to them. This obviously has some limitations for noise isolation and strong sound; that is why I'm greatly surprised at what a great quality sound and Bass (YES Bass) they have. So. If you don't care about sticking things for an hour into your ear canals, go ahead and get Stick-in earbuds. Otherwise I haven't found any pair in many brands that is more comfortable, to wear for hours on end. You really forget they are there. And if you need to be aware of your surroundings they let you hear natural, real, not robotic sound around you. Hope this helps clarify the misunderstandings about it. Also. I have used them for the Gym and they have never even once falled off my ear.

[@jakeduggan3854]

I think reviewers missed the point for these. They are great for people on the go who want background music and still be able to interact with people and hear things going on around them. They are great for people with jobs that require driving, answering calls and interacting with clients without having to remove the buds to hear them clearly. The ANC is designed to remove low frequency's and as a truck driver I can attest to it doing that well. Not every person on the planet wants an earphone that cuts the entire world off. For music and podcasts they do a decent job; They don't blow my highend IEM's and headphones away but they sound decent enough for background music. For the purpose they serve they do a really good job and no other BT earphone competes. They are they best thing since sliced bread for my line of work. At home I enjoy music with my high-end stuff, at work I enjoy the live buds. I think they should be called life buds because they don't get in the way of life.

[@minimaleffort6847]

I get my Buds Live tomorrow with the Tab S7+ the day after. I look forward to using those. I have the Buds, but not the Buds+ but they are the same shape. I can’t wear the Buds longer than an hour before my ears start to hurt because of the stem that sticks into the ear. I end up defaulting to the AirPods Pro in almost all cases due to comfort and ease of use. The new Spatial Audio is pretty cool, too. I expect to use the Live with the S7+ while I use the AirPods Pro for everything else.

I love my Buds Live. I have the Buds+ as well, and my biggest annoyance with the Buds+'s was they lacked bass. With these Beans....they're perfect! Not too worried about how bad the ANC is.

Plus, the beans are so small it no wo der they couldn't pack a bunch of ANC tech in there with this fat drivers taking up most of the room and still keeping the price point where its at.

Buds with a seal-in design aren't a little uncomfortable after a little while -- they are painful immediately (and tend to pop out if I move my jaw to talk).

That being said the sound is very clear much better than my wired in ear headphones. 1st thoughts - very happy to use these buds 👍

[@RichardSanchez137]

I feel what's missing from this review is practical real world use. You don't want total noise cancellation as if you went for a jog/bike ride it is highly unsafe to have total sound cancellation. I have the first gen buds and if someone is talking to you, you need to take them out.

Got em... completely impressed. I was concerned about the fit. Whether it was "supposed" to seal the ear canal. Not sure about anyone else, but mine do. Which makes for nice bass resonance. My other concern was the noise cancelation... AMAZING!!! I'm a driver, I need the truck cabin noise to be deleted. I'm comparing these to Plantronics Legend and the Blue Parrot (the ultimate of NC). I called another driver to for feedback, he asked if I was even n the truck!!! I hv officially upgraded.

Both have their issues for me. My one favorite thing about the live buds are the touch blocking controls so when I try to sleep they don't get bumped on the pillow.
