@LLCoolJo3l no actally airpods work on android and galacy buds work on ios devices too. the onlyy difference is with a samsung phone u will get a slightly better app and with an iphone a slight better connecting speed. it depends on your fav buds not the phone

the AirPods Pro sounded better on the galaxy phone than iphone 11. Not surprisingly I find the built in mice on my 11 so much better on Facetime and Zoom that i only use the airpods for calls if i’m walking and need to be hands free

The award for Ergonomics goes to Samsung. Really innovative design. We can lay on the bed with the buds on directly above the pillow without hurting the ear. And it’s so comfortable.

why compare them to airpods pro. They should compare them with the 1st generation airpods. The pro’s have the ball that gets inside the ear while the galaxy doesn’t and obviously the airpods pro will sound mush better beacause of that.

For me the most important thing is comfort and then sound. The buds live beat the airpods pro in both aspects so it’s a no brainer. Plus the bronze buds live look so much cooler.

You are the first person I’ve seen say on YouTube “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” This is taught in some Military classes about communication. But this is mostly for typed communications. But, two times you said jumped instead of jumps. In typed communication this is a test to make sure all letters typed appear when received.

So in other words Galaxys were better and Apples product sucked. Thats all I needed to know thanks 👍💪 I’m just gonna say 100% percent of people get ear buds to listen to music and workout and sometimes talk on the phone on the go. Plus who wouldn’t wanna hear a car or an ambulance or ur baby crying around you so ANC ain’t all that important unless u have an annoying partner 😂 , So with that being said Galaxy buds live outshines Airpods once again #Bravo 👏👏👏

Hygiene update on these would be interesting. The beans’ mesh grills seem to be in direct contact with the ear wall, which should pickup more earwax and also harder to clean out…

I have the Samsung Buds 2 and the new Buds live! The new version is a great improvement more bass fits in my ears perfectly and the nc works in the way it was designed for in these earpieces! It is impossible to implement NC of the kind in headphones which cover the whole ear! What do people expect?🤔

Were these tested on MS Teams? My old AirPods (non-pro) work perfectly on Windows 10, except in Teams calls where the mic doesn’t work. Checking the Teams site, AirPods aren’t supported. Which video conferencing apps were these tested with?

Since you listed all of the Pros…….
Cons.
1. The wearable app requires you to allow all permission all the time only. They give you the option to deny or only allow while using the app, but if you chose either of those it will close out the app and you won’t be able to use it.
2. You have no control over what is allowed. If you don’t want Bixby on your device… Too bad, you don’t want it to have your location all the time….. Too bad, Calendar, Contacts, microphone, SMS etc. too bad. If you go into your device and stop any of them you’re no longer allowed to listen to music. ( I only want to hear music. You don’t need to invade my privacy to listen to music)
3. The Bluetooth sucks, all songs sound chopped and screwed when running. Paired my buds with the watch 3 and my music sounds like a scratched CD. The Bluetooth is extremely choppy when running. The music was smooth while in the house but as soon and I started to jog they kept loosing signal and quickly reconnecting. (yes I offline downloaded one of my Playlist from Spotify on my watch) who’s to blame the new watch or the new buds or the company who made them both?
4. The speaker is the small area on the front tip which means these have to be perfectly placed in your ear which takes a bit. You will hear you left sounding better than your right, only to adjust the right where it then sounds better than the left.
5. It’s 2020 I thought we were done with shiny. Can we get a Matt color?
6. No wall charger, I get it I have about a thousand of them anyway, but it’s the principle.
I do like a lot though,
They didn’t fall out of my ear not once in a three mile run in Arizona 111 degree weather. The charging case is pretty bad azz. Getting the buds to fit in you ear is easy but you gonna have to do some fishing to get the speaker to align with your ear canal while making sure they don’t fall out.
Update
#3 so I replaced the last pair of buds Saturday 8/15, went running with the new ones today 8/17 and they worked flawless at first. Then about a mile in we went right back to the crappy Bluetooth scratched cd sound, where the audio goes in and out. Before sending them back this time I’m going to use my Bose qc30 with my galaxy watch 3 that way I can rule out the new watch connection. I will have my girl use the kidney beans on her galaxy watch to see if its doing the same crappy Bluetooth thing with hers.
8/18 paired the Galaxy watch 3 with Bose qc30 and they worked perfectly ……so its not the watch.
paired the galaxy buds live with my girls galaxy watch and she said the Bluetooth was goin in an out the entire climb (verrado Stairs)
will be returning these galaxy buds live for a third pair them in going to completely rule them out as being defective. 3 strikes you’re out.
8/19 same issue, saying goodbye to these. I really wanted them too…
