Samsung took a bold step with the Galaxy Buds Live — by launching earbuds whose design is completely different from traditional earbuds. These bean-shaped buds not only look different but also offer a very different sound experience.

So let’s see if these “Buds Live” can become the perfect wireless companion for you?

👀 Design & Fit: Bean-Shaped Magic!

Sabse pehle baat karte hain design ki, kyunki yeh earbuds dikhte hi itne alag hain!

• Bean-Shaped Open Fit Design
• Glossy finish – Mystic Bronze, Black, White & Red color options
• Lightweight (just 5.6g per bud)
• Secure fit, especially casual users ke liye

Agar aapko in-ear buds uncomfortable lagte hain, toh Buds Live ka open design aapke liye perfect ho sakta hai. Lekin running ya gym ke liye ye thoda slippery feel ho sakta hai.

🔊 Sound Quality: Made for Bass Lovers

Samsung has optimised the sound of these buds with AKG tuning — and the bass output is quite punchy and deep.

12mm speakers by AKG

Crisp highs, warm mids and deep lows

Despite the open design, sound leakage is minimal

These buds are best for casual listening and YouTube/Music streaming. Audiophiles may find the sound lacking a bit of detail.

🔇 Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)

The Galaxy Buds Live have ANC feature, but since these are open-type earbuds, they do not get full isolation.

ANC helps reduce low-frequency background noise

Limited effect in loud environments

Transparency nahi mode milta, but open design already lets outside sound in

In short, ANC is present but not powerful like Buds2 Pro or AirPods Pro.

🎙️ Mic & Call Quality: 

With the triple-microphone system, Buds Live give you clear call quality, even in noisy surroundings.

2 outer mics + 1 inner mic

Voice Pickup Unit (VPU) – filters background noise

Works well with Zoom, WhatsApp, Google Meet etc.

📲 Controls & Features: Tap, Bixby & SmartThings

Single/Double/Triple tap for play/pause/skip

Bixby Voice Assistant support

Find My Earbuds via SmartThings app

Buds Live connect seamlessly to Samsung phones and the auto switch feature also works within the Samsung ecosystem.

🔋 Battery Life: Long Listening, Fast Charging

6 hours (with ANC ON), 8 hours (ANC OFF)

21 hours with charging case

Quick charging: 5 mins = ~1 hour playback

USB-C & wireless charging support

💦 Water Resistance

PIX2 rated – sweat & light splash resistant

OK for working out, but not heavy rain or swimming

💰 Price in India (Approx)

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live: ₹5,999 to ₹7,999 (according to offers)

Launch price was higher (~₹14,990), but now it has become quite affordable

✅ Final Verdict: Should you buy Galaxy Buds Live?
