ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
So the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live, vs Plus, vs Pro, vs 2… so many options, but which are the best?
IF I asked 100 samsung users what phone they have, I bet I would get at least 20 - 30 different answers. If I did the same for Apple, I would probably get about 8-10 answers. That is because Samsung LOVES to make more models and hit every possible price target. But that doesn’t always mean the more expensive ones are better. In the case of the Galaxy Buds, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. In this video, I am going to share my thoughts on the four most recent Galaxy buds models
If there is one thing Samsung loves to do, it is make more SKUs.
Fit
Plus (wing tips!!)
Pro is hit or miss. Some people disliked Pro’s ear tips and some people prefer GB 2
Comfort
Sound
Pro - marginal improvement with clarity, inst. separation and bass. More full sound
2 - great sound for this price
Plus - fun and lively balance
Live - sound far away, easily disrupted
Mics

Big tip for all Galaxy Buds users with Galaxy phones:
You can tweak the Buds behavior further using Bixby Routines. I set mine to disable touchpad, disable transparency mode while in UA-cam, Netflix. You can set any scenes or configuration that you want. It's brilliant if you want to maximize the Galaxy ecosystem experience 🔥
Where's that setting? I don't see it in the wearable app
Wow that's very smart. I actually like Bixby routines.
Wow thank you!
bixby really suck for non english users
@@norfindir70 exactly. It's not available in my language and when I want it to write a text for me, I have to translate it into English.
I appreciate how, during the outside mic test, you probably stood around for a bit and waited until some cars were about to pass before you began your test. So they were all exposed to a worst-case scenario. Good work man, you deserve your 274k subs.
@Terry Jackson Lmaooo
Why does “Good work man, you deserve your 274k subs” sound like an insult rather than a compliment
@@llnnie it doesnt
@@terryjackson1 yes, but he didnt start speaking until the cars were actually there going by. To make sure they were both stress tested
Buds Live are the only ones I can wear for hours, without fatigue. Think they're more suited for listening to podcasts/talk radio, rather than music. So loss of bass, sound quality is something I can live with, depending on what media you consume. Will never go back to an ear-tip configuration, so the Buds Live were a revelation when they came out. And I've never had them drop out of my ears, despite the sensation that they're about to. Thanks for another excellent comparison video!
I agree. I can wear the Live all day with ZERO issues.
@@kevincampbell6490 Hear that! Glad you enjoy them.
Agree 100pct. The Live are my go-to office earbuds. Meetings, podcasts and so on. They stay safe.
Not for running though, but thats the same with Galaxy plus, so i went for Jaybird Vista when running :)
same, mine usually nvr falls out and very secure.
Even then, the music quality is still great for someone who is not an active audiophile. I love the Buds live, and yes, i did call them BEANS in the bluetooth menu
"More expensive doesn't mean better"
End of video: The most expensive ones are the best 😂
🤣😂😂🤣
Yeah, but he's still right though. It doesn't apply to Samsung buds only.
maybe he means buds live vs buds 2
@@Zero-dz7ic the more expensive is often better than not though…especially in the world of electronics
The more expensive it is the better it is most of the time. Don’t care what anyone says.
Never regretted about Buds Live. Still in love.
Can you please confirm me if buds live is compatible with Samsung eco system. Means it can switch between multiple samsung devices? The feature is available in buds pro and buds 2. Thanks..
@Nguyen Khoa Thanks for the info.. Buds live is my choice then!
@@abuawwab39 If you wanna know, the technical word for what you are looking for is 'bluetooth multipoint' ! so you can check in the description of each product. I'm not sure the live has this feature
Love my blue buds live! Louder than buds pro.
@@francisphillips53 Same here, Buds Live are my favourite and I have tried all of them. Buds Live if you fit them in your ear correctly have the best bass.
as somebody who owns a pair of the original Buds, two sets of the Buds+, and a pair of the Buds Pro i can tell you the Galaxy Buds+ are by far my favourite. they fit the best, has the longest battery life, and just feel best for my ears. the Buds Pro just fall right out of my ear, can't stand that. Best content Mike, thank you for all that you do :D
How about sound quality is there a big difference between the plus and the pros
Yea I got the same question as the guy above: Is there a big difference between the sound quality of the plus and the pro. Because I really don't need ANC (I got Sony headset for that). I really want the fit for some exercising. If the sound quality is comparable, there's no reason to get the pro or the buds 2, because the buds plus are $50 cheaper now.
Awesome. Can I ask why you have two sets of buds+ ?
How good is the anc for the pro like how much noise does it block out? How's the fit might get a pair have the plus currently
@@ahamobied6103 The biggest difference between the Galaxy buds + and Galaxy buds pro is the bass, when i had the galaxy buds + i had to tweak with the EQ and volume so i could hear the bass, but on the galaxy buds pro i just put the EQ on dynamic and it sounds amazing, better than the plus' but the galaxy buds plus still hold a place in my heart :)
I appreciate how you weren't afraid to have a hard stance on the buds you didn't like.
I'm using galaxy buds live. Never had any issue with fit. In 1 year time I have never had encountered falling off my ear. I'm using it daily basis. And I still love it. ❤
I love this review! I have had my Buds+ almost a year. I got them for $110 usd, before Thanksgiving. I definitely don't think I will need new earbuds for a while.
Is sound quality and bass good ?
@@ahamobied6103 I have it, sound quality is good, bass is also good. I also have the buds live, sound is better I would say since it gets loud but you cannot hear the music much when you are outside (because of the surrounding noise) coz it’s not sealed so you have to turn the volume up 100%. But when you are indoors, I normally have my volume at 50%, and base is good as well. Problem with the live for me is the fit coz my other ear has a different shape so it feels slightly tight and it hurts after wearing for 2 hours.
I love the buds live! I tend to lose myself in the music, so with noise cancelling headphones (or some with good isolation) I don't hear anything else and it really bothers me. Also, they are really comfortable- I can wear them for at least one or two hours before they start feeling bad in my ear. The microphone is amazing as well, it was a real dealbreaker for me.
The mic was a deal breaker?
@@kashyap72 having a bad one was. I make a lot of phone calls, so it was one of the most important aspects for me
@@allegraalberoni the way you framed your sentence sounds like having a good mic makes it a deal breaker lol
@@kashyap72 lmao sorry about that, I'm not a native so I make mistakes like these hahaha
@@allegraalberoni i dont blame you. Talking is hard. Even in my native language i make dumb mistakes lol
Team Sammy! I have the Buds+. As a runner they've worked out extremely well for me. I've had them since they were first released. They're holding up quite nicely. Thinking about the Pro for my next pair. Got my wife a red pair of the Lives and she absolutely loves them. She's an Interior Designer so she wears them all day while working. Sometimes they slip out her ears but it's not a big deal. I work in Commercial HVAC/R and also wear my Buds all day. ZERO fall out incidents. These have been really good for me. Sound quality after 2 years is still solid. Battery life is starting to level off but they still last most of my day.
Don't buy pros..it's not fit in ear.
Buds live are the ones I love, they don't dig right down your ear canal! Looks like there is so much love in the comments for the buds live!
i got the pro and 2 and it gives me an allergic reaction every time I use them. I'll get liquid discharge inside my ear. Idk if it's because it sits right inside my ear canal? but my buds plus never gave me that issue before and I use it for 7-8 hrs sometimes.
I like my buds live but I find the speaker hole twists and ends up losing sound if I move around ends up with the speaker against skin instead of directed to the canal.
I love galaxy buds+. Amazing battery life, great fit and great sound quality. If they just improve the Pro a little I'll buy them.
I have tried all of these. I started with the buds plus. They are so great and I loved them so much that I was excited to try the new ear buds. The live hurt my ears after about an hour of wear, but it did stay in my ear quite well. The buds pro sounded great but they absolutely will not stay in my ears and had to return them. They also put a lot of pressure in my ears. I was excited to try the buds 2. Great set of earbuds, but my right earbud tends to fall after a couple of hours and they require readjustment for fit quite often. They sound great though and I didn't notice much difference from the pro. So the search continues, but I don't think anything is better than the pluses. The fit is very important to me and those earbuds don't fallout and they are comfortable. Just goes to show everyone's ears truly are different. Samsung, please bring back wing tips!
Remember that many people need different sizes of eartips for each ear. It might help to experiment with that.
Also a good set of foam eartips might help. I had big problems with the pro's until I found the right set of foam tips.
should i get the buds 2 for £100? I can get graphite ones for £75.
Im looking for buds+ but I can only really find them for £99
Dirty Marketing/profit making tricks by Samsung. They first make a great version then they gain trust of customers and the next model turns out or be trash then the customes start to miss the old version and then in the very next gen, they bring that good feature back and make tonnes of profit. Sneaky Samsung.
Year 1: bring something innovative
Year 2: Take that feature away
Year 3: Bring it back
Make millions/billions
This is the comparison I wanted to see. Thank you.
First, I think there was no difference on the microphones across the 4 earbuds.
Got a pair of Buds 2 in the house recently and thought the sound wasn't better than the Buds + until loading the app on my Note. The sound on the Buds 2 is better with ANC on OR with Ambient on than with both off were they sound like the Buds+.
I haven't usually used the Ambient feature on my Buds+ so I tried turning it on and off and different levels and having it on may have improved sound a little, but nothing like the difference on Buds 2. Even having Ambient on low made a big difference with Buds 2.
Using either + or 2 with an iPhone is underwhelming with sound quality. $20 Apple earbuds in a headphone jack sound incredibly better.
So I tried the same Apple earbuds with a C to 3.5 adapter in my Note - - also much better sound than either Buds.
Bluetooth audio just isn't mature yet.
I guess so but maybe look at it at a more realistic thing. Im not am expert but the reason i think why wired sounds better its because its coming from the main source (the phone) so they have more space to build something thar more about the noise ans stuff yk. while on bluetooth earbuds they hav to design everything in that small little thing. The processors, the speaker, the battery, censores, the wireless charger. so they cant just focus on one exact thing and maybe the reason the sound quality isnt how youd expect aswell is because of battery conservation. But again idk just my thoughts.
Very very late reply but the reason that they sound so much better, and probably the reason they sounded better when you used the app is because Samsung uses their own adaptive audio codec that can't be used on Apple devices. It changes the quality to keep the connection stable which works both ways, so lots of times the quality is actually improved
Little experience from me - because i had most of them
- Galaxy Buds (non +) .. but they are the same : Fit well - and the passive noise cancelling (that is .. the tight fit) works just right. The pass through is acceptable but not good enough to even attempt an actual conversation. The pass through feature is sufficient for environmental awareness when walking/riding outside. The sound quality is OK ... nothing to write home about. They are better than your garbage "freebie" earphones in the box.
- Galaxy Buds Live .. I actually loved them. They never fell out of my ears, even when running (i run a lot for workouts). Very comfortable - and a VERY good sound quality with clear highs and a pronounced but bass that does not drown everything else. Sound-wise .. one of the best i had. However, i am pretty sure this experience is very much down to the shape of the ear .. as they were a near perfect fit for me.
The ANC was garbage though - and a total waste of battery to even turn it on. The best thing about the Live was that you could actually have a conversation with them in your ears.
The worst thing about them is the reason i do not have them anymore ... the case magnet is too weak to keep the case shut (i have the case dangling from my keys) - and the earphones just lightly "lay" in the case. Long story short .. i bumped into something/someone, the case was opened and the buds fell out - and i never noticed. - So i consider them "too easy to loose" - also no other earphones have slipped through my fingers when pulling them out of the case that much and dropped to the floor.
- Galaxy Buds Pro .. i currently use those. The ANC is - OK (?) .. i do not think it is as good as people try to make out. It is about as good as the AirBuds Pro (my partner has those). But neither of those comes even near the simple seal of an overear headphone (like the Sennheiser 400 or so) - the sound is good .. i do not feel it is better than the Live .. but it is a bit clearer with less pronounced bass; very good for vocals (like audiobooks) - then again, you do not need amazing sound when listening to audiobooks.
The case is the same as the Live case - so opens up just as easily .. but the buds are a little more secure inside. For my ears - i just cannot find a good fit with the pro. They feel loose and insecure, the seal feels poor and i keep re-adjusting them all the time.
Buds 2 .. never had them, so no idea
My conclusion : the best ones for me had been the Live - strangely enough. Best fit, best sound .. sadly easiest to loose.
This is a Copy and paste of a reddit answer?
The buds live are the most comfortable and best sounding buds I have ever used. I have no issues at all with them moving in my ear or them falling out when I work out, mow the yard, shoot basketball, etc.
Agree
The problem with them for me is the ANC
It doesn't work for me :(
They feel very uncomfortable
@@blacklyfe5543 u prolly wearing them wrong
@@Mrmoka00 Comfort depends on personal fit. But indeed adjusting them helps (it helps a lot as well with the ANC).
I love the buds pro. I had to switch around the size of the plugs to get the best of it. After I picked the right one, man! It was unbelievable the quality of the sound and also the ANC. I wear it all day long to work, study and gym. So it's literally all day long. The battery is really good. They charge very fast and look amazing. I love it.
I was in search of a comment like this haha
Mine will arrive tomorrow and I'm excited lol
@@reinoutverstraelen1690 make sure you try all 3 plugs to see which one fits best. Try them using the ANC on and you will notice the difference from one plug to another. After you get that right one, its amazing. I'm in love with it!
Can you go running without them falling out of your ear?
I ran miles and miles with the Buds Live and it never fall out of my ears once(i use the large wingtip). zero regrets buying the Live.
@Thế Tài Cao no they belong to buds live too
I got the Buds Live basically for free on a promo. Your assessment is spot-on, they're really comfortable, and the audio quality is determined by how well you can fit them in your ears. For the active noise cancellation, I recently used them on a plane and was a bit disappointed..UNTIL I played with the fit in my ears. Once I got it to "seal" properly, the difference was night and day. I toggled the ANC on and off to confirm and it was a major difference. It reduced the droning aeroplane noise from annoying-level to very-tolerable. That's my 2cents!
Heavily debating betwern Pro and Live. What are your thoughts?
@@OsaruKuriThe Pro is newer, and has proper noise cancellation. Which should be useable in daily use, not just on aeroplanes. That said, they're at different price points and targeted to different user groups. Which do you fall into?
I had a pair of Buds+. They had a very snug fit and the call quality was very good. I've just switched to the Buds Pro and there is a significant difference in sound quality (much more bass) and call quality. The Buds Pro fit well (not as good as the Buds+) and the ANC really does make a difference. I got the Buds Pro for less than the Buds 2 so I'm very happy with my choice.
where you get buds pro from?
Buds pro is better?
To me the fit is stopping me from buying the pros. I don’t think anything will fit like the buds+ though. I would’ve stayed with the buds+ but I lost the right earbud and could get the pros for 70$ right now in 2022
Just goes to show how subjective buds can be. I've tried 3 of the buds on this list, and the Lives are by far my favourite.
If you're unable to decide between pairs and have the ability to, I'd definitely recommend trying them out. You could be very surprised which work for you best.
Can u run in them
This is the comparison I was looking for. The comparison covered everything. Yes, Everything! Thank you so much!
I have/had buds +, buds live and buds pro. Obviously the buds pro are my favourite. The sound quality is insanely good. Way better than most competitors like the airpods pro. ANC is also really good maybe 10% worse than airpods pro.
The buds + were very reliable but I don't think they have the best sound quality or anything. They are good if you just want wireless earphones to talk to people, listen to some casual music/podcasts.
I personally love my buds live only for the comfort. All the things he said are completely true. The buds keep popping out even if I go on a walk. When I push them in it activates the touch panel, etc. But they are the most comfortable pair of TWS I've had so far.
Embarrassed to say I own all of these except for the Buds 2 as I chose the Buds Pro with my Flip 3 using the bonus cash as opposed to the Buds 2. I would agree with everything you said about the 3 I have experience with. The one place (for me personally) that the buds live actually add value and where I use them is when I am just chilling in bed and not moving much. Because of their size and how they fit in your ear, I can actually turn around and have the side of my head on the pillow without issue. All of the downsides you mentioned are 100% accurate, but for me they are without question the best for listening to in bed and even if you fall asleep, they don't cause pain or discomfort while asleep.
You explained well Sean. That's why I ordered buds live and after your comment I don't regret on my decision. Currently buds live is selling for only $65.
Maybe you have a samsung buds plus that u are not using, donate it to me haha
I have the live solely to sleep lol.
@@nickh4676 can you send it to me hahahhaha wish i had 1
I love my buds live and these are the only earbuds that I could use for long hours. During the lockdowns and work from home sessions (still continuing), I could use them continuously for 4 hrs in the morning then charge during lunch break and then could easily get another 4 hours. They are a perfect fit for my ear and never slipped out. Sound quality is great too. I am still wondering, if there ever will be a revision of galaxy buds live in future or Samsung killed it?? Thanks for the comparison, it’s very informative and at the same time entertaining.
do they slip when looking down/facing down
because thats my biggest concern i love what these do but am concerned they will fall when i look at the floor or am washing my face
Im hoping for a revision/buds live 2 as well. I have small ear cannals so all the earbuds that go inside the cannal really hurt my ears no matter the tips I put on. Buds live dont hurt my ears because they stay outside the cannal...I think thats a large reason airpods are so popular so I hope Samsung keeps the line going for those of us who want more comfort and the pro line can be for those who care more about audio performance.
At last Mike you heard us... I am eagerly waiting for this man. Thank you so much
I read many comments and I knew you wanted a comparison like this! What are your thoughts? Which are best?
Galaxy buds plus for me!
So Mike on whole what I understood is that and I agree with it. Don't go for live at all. If you have budget go for pro or go for buds 2 that's it.
@@MikeOBrienMedia personally, for when I am taking online classes, I really like the buds live becouse a lot of people lives with me and if they talk me, I'm gonna hear them much easier than with the plus or the pros, besides they are pretty comfortable and they don't fall of my ears easily, but for when I want to listen to some music on the bus or I just really want to enjoy the music entirely, thats when I go with the pros, really sound quality is awesome
By the way, how would you qualify my English? I'm form México, that's why I ask you..
The Buds Live are the only ones that I can use for any activity.
Sleeping on my side, working out, jogging, all sorts. Anything else, even the airpods pro, lack in that regard.
If I had known about the Buds Live long ago, I would've skipped all the other mainstream TWS I have and saved alot of money.
Owning the Buds 2 the a week now, compared to my Air Pods pro and Buds+. The Buds 2 are nice sounding, comfortable. The problem is they don't not stay in my ear at all like the air pod pro and Buds+. They do not stay secure and when I have to adjust them, the touch controls activate and either turn on ambient mode, skip song or videos etc. Pretty frustrating. The ANC is decently solid and battery life is great for me, especially over the Air Pods but the Buds+ is King in fit, comfort and usability.
I got the Buds Live and I think they are great. The small wingtips that come preinstalled were not working for me, but when I put the larger pair that it comes with, they never fall out. I just watched Samsungs video of how to properly wear them and I was set. Your supposed to twist them up after placing them in your ear so the wing tips sit securely under the Antihelix part of the ear, once they are there they never fall out or need to be readjusted for me. I can shake my head like a maniac and they will not budge and are very comfortable for extended periods of time.
Does it have good bass and louder??
I had the Pros, but in my comparison with the Live I had more volume and bass from the Live. So I sold the Pros and kept the Live. My comparison was done by having both sets connected at the same time with my phone and playing the same music. I would have a Pro Bud on one ear and a Live Bud on the other wile listening to the music. Not very scientific but I was able to notice a difference
You're crazy there is no bass noise cancelation on the live
I just did a 5.5 k run, with the buds live, they didn't fall out, so they are fine for anything.
Also my partner has really small ear canals so she can't wear any of the others, so this is great for her.
Bought Buds Plus and the battery life can last 12 hours. Really loves it but not recommended for bass lovers
They have great bass
On a scale of 1-10 how good is the bass
@@noahwallace4201 2/10
I noticed you need to use the biggest eartips, will results in more bass or even better is to use the high quality tips like SpinFit CP 360 ...
I have had Galaxy buds plus, they have great bass, anything higher and you would blow your eardrums. Misleading comments.
The live is one of my favorite buds because they too be at the most comfortable and I love the bass sounds on them. I can wear them for hrs and forget that they're there. My main love for them is when I'm in bed watching a movie or just trying to use them to go to sleep. They're my favorite but I also do love the pros also.
After this guy sewed the seeds of doubt in my mind for the galaxy buds live, I still took a chance on them for the great price I got them for. The active noise cancelling is impressive and very good. Maybe it is the shape of my ear but they are very secure and I can jump around with them with no adjustment. To think this guy with his personal and clear hate almost stopped me from experiencing the best headphones I have ever tried.
I love my buds live. I have never had them fall out when working out. I am looking to get a set of buds pro for when I am in a noisy environment, but will keep the buds live as my primary ear bud.
Oo I’m looking for ones to workout with. Maybe like skipping and weights at a gym. Have they been good for anything like that. I’m so scared to have them fall out while skipping or something haha
The Buds Live are great, they are the lowest profile ones (invisible to someone talking to me head on), powerful and with clear sound (slightly above Airpods Pro which I also use), and the fit security issue is immediately fixed if you replace the rectangular rubber pad by the round rubber pad that comes in the box, which is a bit larger and thus secures the device in your ear. Only downside is the active noise cancelling, which doesn't work as the device design is such that is does not plug into the ear canal.
Is it better than oneplus buds z's clear sound quality.
I loved the very first Galaxy Buds. But unfortunately I lost one bud and so I had to buy something new and I went with the Buds Live right away once it released because I thought it had a unique design! The pros for me are that it fits very nicely, it's light, and has never fallen out of my ears or have never worried that they would. Now the cons are that pretty much anywhere you touch it will detect that you tapped it (kinda annoying if you were just trying to adjust it in your ear), and sometimes when I single tapped it registered as double tap or double registered as triple (didnt happen all the time but happened a lot, maybe mine is defective). I'm not too picky about sound quality and the other features, but if I never lost my ear bud I would probably prefer my original Galaxy Buds over Live. But I still love the Buds Live.
Yh I honestly can't agree more I've had the same experience to the point i turned off the touch settings in the wearable app
The opposite happened to me, i lost the case and just have one bud as a reminder. Now im looking to see whuch one i should purchase again
@@joyitadarling5815 if you liked the original, then I'd get the pluses. Basically the original but improving the sound quality, bass, and design slightly. Haven't tried the others, but the pluses are really good. The pro's might be a good option too
@@joyitadarling5815 ..dang it that's me too..😫
Best review and comparison so far! I'm happy with my Buds Pro! Superb sound quality and ANC is working.
I have owned the gear iconx 1st gen, gear icon x 2nd gen, galaxybuds, galaxy buds plus, galaxy buds live and galaxy buds pro. The galaxy buds are definitely the absolute best. I love them
Great review!. I personally only every owned the buds live so i can't compare them to other Samsung earbuds. But for me, i don't really have any issue with the buds live falling out of my ear. Since i owned them. I only had one time when the right ear buds fell and it was by me kinda hitting it by mistake when at the gym. Otherwise, i had runs and walks and weightlifting and no issue at all. When i bought them initially. It was hard to find which ear piece they provide that works better and it was definitely hard to get used to wearing them and not feeling like they will fall off (I guess people with different ear shapes may have the buds live falling from their ear) . For sound. I am not really a sound expert but for my non-pro ears. They sound alright. But i am not very particular about my music so i guess for some people, maybe they don't sound so good. They're really comfortable and I sometimes forget i am wearing them.
I just got buds live and yes it is amazing!!
I was very satisfied with the Buds+, but decided to give them to my friend. I decided to purchase the Buds Pro, and I have to say that the sound quality is very noticeably better. I had the issue of the wings on the + digging into my ears with longer use, I like the shape of the Buds Pro much more (though I didn't like them at first). Love my Buds Pro.
worth getting buds pro over the buds+ for $30 more dollars? i have unique ear shape btw
I hate them they feel uncomfortable
Nice job on comparing all the models instead of just 1 or 2. It's pretty clear that depending upon your needs will definitely depend on which pair you should buy and I think you did a good job pointing all of that out to help any buyer who may have been uncertain on which direction to go in. I've had the buds plus since they launched, got them free for pre-ordering my S20, and I just can't find enough reason in all the other models to get any of them to replace these.
I got a replacement Galaxy Buds 2 when I lost my Galaxy Buds Plus, and the weight difference and more "compact feeling" design makes it feel like it's blended in with my ear. Very comfortable.
What about sound difference
I just lost one of my buds + and am now debating using it as a good reason (excuse lol) to try out the buds 2. I really like how secure the plus feel but I'll check out the new ones
I lost my Galaxy Buds Plus too recently and I'm thinking about buying Buds 2 but I'm concerned about the battery 😫 is there a noticeable difference between them?
I have a weird pair of ears, so the Buds Live are perfectly fitting and the most comfortable. They never fall out. I owned the Buds+ before and the wingtips really helped but i dont like shoving the buds down my ear canal.

But unfortunately ANC doesn't work for me
@@yasserrafaat8652 I'm being a boomer, but it's a feature I lived without for so long that it's not essential for me. Barely anyone had ANC during the iPod era right.
Yooo sick review no one ever really done one of those
I love my buds live... They fit securely in my ears without moving, even when I'm walking or running .. They don't get gunked up with ear wax because of the design.. And I actually do notice the difference when I activate the ANC.. I also like that especially with the ANC off I can still hear some of what's going on around me so I'm not oblivious when I'm out and about (I like to be aware of my surroundings) they are also very comfortable, I can wear them for hours without a problem, I have even forgotten that I have one on
I had galaxy buds + and now i have galaxy buds pro. I agree with you. 👍
As a musician, the buds live fills in my very specific needs, the “useless noice cancellation” is actually very nice because it tunes out the noice of lower end noises and keep higher (more important) ones which make it very nice for playing music with it on because it tunes out disturbing noice while still clearly hearing the sounds of both the music you’re listening and playing, creating a sort of feeling that you’re really playing with the band you’re listening to. My ears fits perfectly for these buds, which means for me they have just a bit less bass than the buds plus and have no fit issues with it. I also like these buds in the context that I can have conversations really clearly without taking them off or turn on the tinny transparency modes, while still able to listen to my music with moderate amount of base in comparison to other open-ear earbuds like the airpods
I really love the active noice canceling feature especially when traveling by car or any vehicle, my Buds2 does an amazing job at filtering out the low frequency sounds
I have the OG Buds and now the Buds Pro. Love them both, but the Pros are so much better! Great comparison/review, Mike!
@@j.ballsdeep420 actually they're not. I said OG BUDS...not "OG Samsung wireless headphones." Please read before making unnecessary comments.
@@j.ballsdeep420 triggered? No. You jumped on my post to start an argument for whatever reason. You shouldn't have commented at all. I realize you might not be a smart person, but when the word "Buds" is capitalized, it is a proper noun. So go argue with someone else, kid.
@@j.ballsdeep420 how about you leave people alone and stop making BS comments? Simple.
@@j.ballsdeep420 but I LOVE reporting people with no life who harass others for no reason. It really is fun to see you "TRIGGERED" yourself (you must be a young one).

Small turds: We toss you out punch bowl really quick. Thank you for your time
I am still with the Buds Live because they are just so very comfortable and work great for phone calls and occasional music use. If I really want to dive into good music, I use my over the ear Surface Headphones. But for day to day use, especially for phone calls, the Buds Live are still my choice.
Ive had the galaxy buds plus for a couple years now and have loved them to death... literally. the batteries dont keep a charger now and die within 5-15 minutes. Its time for an upgrade! Thanks for the in depth review. Ill definitely be picking up a pair of the galexy buds pro.
I’m using the buds live with an iPhone 11 and absolutely love them. The fit is good for me, feels very comfortable and I can wear them for hours without any problem. The bass is adequate for my liking and listening to music on these is pleasant too. The biggest advantage on these is the lack of any protrusion outside of the ear which is great. I got these on a sale at a USD equivalent of 108. However, accidental play/pause does happen sometimes when adjusting them.
Hi, could I ask how much outside noise do you hear when listening to music while commuting, how loud does it need to be and how good the sound is? I'm deciding between the beans and buds 2, where the beans are attractive because they don't go inside the ear canal and the 2 because of anc as I travel a lot by bus and train and live in a dorm. Thanks.
I can have the volume up on my live buds fairly loud, and still am able to hear what someone says to me. I got them a week ago and I love them.
@@IVIr_Smith Thank you for answering. 🙂 It certainly helps me make the decision.
Can you please honestly tell me the clear quality of buds live?
I love Galaxy Bud Live but honestly it took me around 2 weeks to wear it right, so I can see why some dislike them
Ha! Same for me.
I love my BUDS LIVE, love the fact that they are comfy and I can wear then for hours. Don't like in the ear earphones, they hurt and feel uncomfortable. Plus love my Mystic Bronce color 😊.
I bought galaxy Pro for 150$ and after 3 days of trying everything was just impossible to take the buds pro more than 20 minutes. My ears just hurts so much. So i called the shop after 3 days of they can give me the buds 2.
They agree to exchange but not give me the extra money because the buds 2 cost 100$.
In the end I exchange the buds pro for buds 2 and let me say I am super happy now. the fit is the most important thing. Also the sound quality was +- the same.
Thumbs up for the buds 2
Would be amazing if each point that you mentioned had its own section :) makes it much easier to organize things in my mind when the video is like that.Other than that, thanks for the information!
I currently have the buds + and I love them, the battery life is amazing, it lasts me the whole day and plus the case, I can even squeeze out 2 days from them, but I want to upgrade to the BUDS 2 for noise canceling
I upgraded from the buds + to the buds 2. The sounds quality is about the same, which is good because I really enjoyed how the buds + sounded. The ANC is a game changer with the 2s, especially when travelling. The transparency mode is SO much better and more natural sounding on the buds 2. On the buds + the transparency mode sounded really tinny and fake to me. Although the buds 2 have noticeably shorter battery life than the buds +, i found that the case battery lasted a lot longer, so unless you're listening for more than 5 hours straight, it shouldn't be a problem.
@@it_was_my_cat thanks mate. Hated the transparency mode on buds+so was considering to get 2s. Does the 2 have different drivers for treble and bass like buds+?
The Galaxy Bud Live is so super cool been using it up to 5 months now.... I never regret buying the Galaxy Bud Live ❤
Buds live are hands down the best. I tried so many other buds, even purchased the more expensive Sony ones that cost me about 300 I think. They are sitting in my cabinet unused. My Galaxy Live are hands down the best. No question about it. Comfort, battery life, ease of use, simple clicks to skip song, repeat song, or go back to prior song...all simple clicks. Battery life probably the best as I don't charge the case until about TWO weeks after use - 5 days a week - 2 hours+ a day. Perfect for my gym routine.
I used the Buds+ 7 hours daily for 6 months loved them but I always found the bass was very weak. The treble was fantastic and mids sound great. The fit was great those wing tips are nice and have no issues with them falling out. About 3 weeks ago I found the Buds Pro on sale for $60 off, so I decided to take the jump and see what the difference was. I have been them 7 hours a day for the last 3 weeks and I can say that without a doubt they are way better then the Buds+. The bass on them is amazing, even the treble is twice as good in my opinion. I love the voice detect feature such a great feature to have added. I also find the buds pro are more responsive to tap controls. If you ever find the pros on sale I would highly suggest spending the extra for them. If you can't afford the pros the Buds plus are great and certainly will make you happy.
Hey ! i'm hesitating between the pro and the plus. Are the pro as comfortable in the ears as the plus?
@@alextonelli1834 I like how the pros fit better then the plus .
When you had the buds+ were you using any of the preset eq settings?
@@ethanisrael4970 yes although I forget which one. Currently use a preset on my my Buds Pro also.
@@patriciogarcia6804 I was just wondering because on the buds + I use the dynamic eq setting and I was wondering if the pro also has a dynamic setting and if it's better
Great video Mike. Very comprehensive comparisons. It's interesting that the Galaxy Buds Live easily fall out of your ears. For me, they're really secure (I've gone jogging with them with no issue). So I guess it really is all about ear geometry. I can wear them for hours (Zoom calls, Audible books, UA-cam music) as they're comfortable. Coworkers on Zoom calls say I sound just fine (so I guess the microphones are good). I know you haven't rated the Live buds the highest, but just to let you know I really enjoy the ones I have (got the white version as the dark ones were way too glossy). In future, I may look at the other Samsung bud so thanks very much for reviewing them all.
Galaxy buds plus are by far my favorite wireless earbuds. I also have the 1st Gen AirPods and AirPods Pro and thinking about getting the Buds Pro 2 but honestly… I think I will forever be Biased towards the Galaxy buds plus for having that 10+ hrs of battery life and being the best looking (too me at least) ear buds…
although. I guess 5+ hrs of battery life while using the earbuds (Buds Pro 1/2) ain’t bad for most people… especially if you’re just trying to listen to music at work and you’ll likely end up putting the your ear buds in the case in about an hour or so lol
Still gonna go with my buds live. No other design & comfort feel like em.
I loved them unti I didn't
Because the hurtr after a whilem
The video I've been waiting for. I have the live and they're just so damn comfortable. I work in an office and in able to hear everything around me while I'm working. They're good for everyday use but terrible for working out or when you just want to block out any noise around you.
I've had two pairs of Galaxy Buds; the OG pair, and the Pro. Both were bundled with a phone preorder deal. I really liked the OG Buds, and had no real complaints. The Pros, however, perform significantly better! Sound quality has taken a huge leap, ANC is great, and something not covered in this video was the Ambient mode, which is super helpful for commuting on public transportation.
The OG ones are great but i find them running out of juice very quickly overtime.. the battery life is the only problem for me other than that it’s amazing
Ambient mode was mentioned, he said only the buds+ and buds 2 were capable of it on 3 different levels
Can anyone in the comments talk about BASS ???????????????
I love the Buds Live. The ANC doesn't really work but the sound quality and how comfortable they are more then make up for that IMOP. Also ig we have really different ears bc the Buds Live stay in my ears basically no-matter-what for me. There're definintly for a niche though. Great video!
Most of the people are in love with " Buds Live" so am I, dont know why samsung got rid of this design, instead they should have improved and kept the innovative live design. Live are the most comfortable and the best sounding buds i have ever used.
If you have small ears then the buds plus are good with out the wing tip just use regular and the comfort is 8/10
I’ve been using the Buds + for about a year with Pixel 4XL and recently switched to iPhone 12Pro and still have them but they are still just as laggy (if not more so) with the iPhone. And I don’t have the option for “gaming mode”
Thanks for the insight and reviews!
I have the Buds 2(whit) & the Live (red) because they came free with my Galaxy S22 ultra 5g. The Lives definitely get lose and I have to re stick them in my ear. Then I end up hanging up the phone on people or stopping whatever media I'm intertaining myself with. I use both of them throughout the day.
Excellent video!
Among the best of youtuber reviewers in description, production, and comparison. Keep it up its nice to get everything I wanted to know in 1 video rather than going down a rabbit hole in these ear buds to know the differences with my adhd.
So glad you liked it!
I wear the Galaxy buds + everyday all day at work. And they're pretty comfortable, but I bought the Galaxy buds pro and they're super uncomfortable almost immediately no matter what the tip size are. I'm guessing because of the oval design? I like the sound better and the ambient is better, but nothing is more important than comfort.
Are you sticking with the pros ?
i got the pro and 2 and it gives me an allergic reaction every time I use them. I'll get liquid discharge inside my ear. Idk if it's because it sits right inside my ear canal? but my buds plus never gave me that issue before and I use it for 7-8 hrs sometimes.
is there a markable difference between buds pro and buds plus considering the microphone ?
I brought them back for the same reason. Uncomfortable
I have the Galaxy buds live, and I have had the opposite experience with regard to security. I have used the buds + and the buds pro, and both work their way out of my ears over time. The beans are the only ones that actually stay in my ear, and as a very important added bonus, they are the only ones that don’t hurt my ears. I think you have to get the ones that fit your ear the best and not everyone’s ears are shaped the same. The beans fit my ears like they were custom made for me.
Beans lol
What a hit job on my buds live.. I love mine. Another thing he left out is how LOUD the buds live are. WAY louder than buds pro. If samsung could have paired the loudness of the buds live, with the sound of the buds pro.. would have hit it out of the park!!
Just got a pair of the Buds Pro with the S22 Ultra and can't wait to see how they compare to the Buds+ that I've been daily driving.
Excellent review Mike. I really appreciate the time you take in making this videos for us. I currently own the Galaxy Buds 2 but call time leaves a lot to be desired with only three and a half hours total. I'm going to get the Galaxy Buds Plus instead. Thanks.
How is ANC & sound 🔊 quality?
I thought that buds plus is the best until I tried the buds live which was the best in every matter, the sound is amazing and have a very deep sound and bass, it doesn't move from my ear in any situation even when I am running and most of all it's very comfortable whish is totally the opposite of buds plus. I really recommend the buds live to everyone
I wish to share that I just made a purchase of the buds plus and loving it so far. This review made it easy to compare and make the right choice. Thanks!
I love my Buds Live but I really think it's all about ear fit and since they are hard plastic it's one of those things that is either great or really not. I can run in my Buds Live and they don't budge. I'll admit the sound quality could be better but with an open design like this I'm not sure they could have done much to improve. Over all these are my favorite, YMMV.
This review is exactly what I needed! Thanks so much for always giving the best and most honest reviews! ❤
I used to watch other tech youtebers too but I stop because they were very inconsistent with recommendations, it started to feel like they favour some company only for personal gain.
This is what I've been waiting for, thank you! 🙏🙂
After 2 years of continuous use of the first generation of Galaxy buds, I'm here looking for my next one.
I don't have much experience with BT, case charged earphones, but I have no complaints at all, despite knowing that you could've been unfortunate in getting yourself a faulty 1st gen G B.
Based of comments and this video, I think Plus will be my best suit, while looking for cost-benefit.
Seriously though, I don't know if 2 years are "optimal", but these sons of a mother survived 4-5 hard hitting falls on concrete/asphalt, a LOT, A LOT of sweat in 1h30-2h trainings and in some instances, HEAVY RAIN. I don't know about the competitors, but I believe SamsungAKG are the best cost-benefit-withstandings of the elements in the market.
If you read this far, my buds are refusing to recharge :(. All the lights turn on, but they don't recharge at all, despite following a handful of troubleshootings, etc.
I had same problem just this week
I love everything about the buds pro except for the fit, they should consider a version for small ears then I'm sold
Hi Mike.. Great review as always from you... Happy to see ur videos always... I used galaxy buds first ones then buds live and many other grand war buds sofar.. I would personally rate buds live as the best out of all the 20plus different makes and models of ear buds I used.. Buds live are very comfortable very secure and easy to use.. No ear fatigue even if used all day... ANC missing is good for me as I would like to hear what's happening round be while I am on a call and also it is safer too.. I don't listen to music much most usage is office calls and buds live are perfect anay day for the same.. It never came off my ears unless I did not insert them in Ear properly.. I am using buds live and will continue.. Bose and Sony ear buds overall features are much better alright but when it comes to comfort sleek fit even they cannot match the design of buds live.
Just ordered buds+ for 85$ is it a good deal to go??
I have the Pro and the Live, because for some reason, I can't wear the same pair all day. After a few hours, I have to switch due to discomfort. My right ear especially can't stand having an earbud in there for more than 30 minutes. I have several other earbuds too and I have tried several more. Out of all of them, the most comfortable pair are the Live buds. Those, I can have on the longest. The sound quality is not equal to the Pros because of the fit. But taking that into consideration, I am impressed with the sound that they do provide. It's good for podcasts and speech. The Pros are good for music and movies.
I had the original Galaxy buds which are exactly like the buds plus and when I didn't use the wings but the right size eartip, they'd stay in my ears without falling out and I could wear them the entire school day without them hurting my ears or dying also the natural noise blockage and sound quality are perfect for me
for music and voice detection get the pro
for sport or for mixed use get the plus
for cycling or running get the live
for small ears get the buds 2
btw he has huge ears thats why the live didnt stay in his hear well
my ears are even bigger than his, that's why I bought the pro 😅
You need time stamps
Which is best for small ears the buds live or buds 2? I can't do wing tips so the buds and buds + are out and the pros are too big for me.
It depends how small , I’m 6ft white man and they are perfect , my wife is 5ft and Asian and they just won’t go in , way too big for her ….btw both AirPods and AirPods Pro ( small tips ) fit her perfectly ….
I tend to get irritated wearing earbuds for any great amount of time. I was considering the Buds Live, but instead went with the Buds 2. I can't comment on the Buds Live but will say that the Buds 2 are by far the most comfortable ear buds I've owned. I find the ambient mode is great - I often use these at work and need to be able to hear what is going on around me, but at the same time, between the good seal and ANC, when I want sound isolation they perform well there too.
@@kevanmcnay3079 which buds are you talking about?
Tried the pros for a bit. They genuinely hurt my ears just wearing them for short periods of time. Switched to the plus and have been pretty happy
While I would love noise canceling, I can't bring myself to upgrade from my buds+. The 11 hour battery life is just amazing, and it's really handy for long trips
Great breakdown on strengths and weaknesses of each, thanks a lot. Is it worth it to get the buds 2 for the ANC over the plus?
Only you can answer that question for yourself...
Galaxy Buds live are my favorite. I can wear them the longest. I hope one day they make buds live 2. I miss the buds plus wing tips. I just got buds 2 but. Like the sound and noise canceling, but don't fit the greatest and can't wear very long. I am tempted to pick up some used buds plus again
For the sake of a neutral profile, which is what I want I enjoy the buds plus pretty well. I don't feel like bolstering the bass because it's fine as it is minus some occasions where the instrumentation gets iffy. If we're talking music that already has big or noticeable bass in it, normal mode is actually awesome for that. Something about dynamic mode is better but worse in a way and I think it's sort of the shift in tone where mids get darker-sounding. The mid range could generally be stronger with its own version of a woofer- if such a thing exists- because sometimes lead instruments swerve around each other and I can't tell if that's how I remember the song in question sounding. Vocals are handled pretty well, although because of that swerving around thing there are times where the fullness of every instrument's "voice" gets trampled over. Noticed this the most with dynamic mode, which is why I don't use it. Overall an improvement over the originals as far as tuning goes and I happen to enjoy them more than the Quietcomforts that I hoped would be perfect with there mid-centric approach- it's bad...the bass is worse on those and the cymbals often die during chorus phrases. Not to mention they're lousy in fit which makes them sound even worse 🤷♂️
I would love to see a review for the "Ultimate Ears Live" earbuds review. They are by far the most expensive earbuds on the market (that I've seen) yet hardly anyone has properly reviewed them. Betcha the price of over $1500 scares them all away.
Going to stick with my Buds+ for a while. It's gonna be really hard to give up an 11 hour battery life.
You keep the buds in your ears for 11 hours straight?
@@JVJF7 if you work and need to be talking to people most the time? You sometimes do
@@Gigi-nv6ci Take a break bro
@@JVJF7 personally I dont go through that. But my uncle who is a truck driver does.
@@JVJF7 11 hours are at middle to lower volume. If you listen to high volume and bassy songs then you'll probably get only 5 hours.
Got the lives a couple days ago, coming from airpods pro, they are awesome. Fit much better and better for edm, hip-hop and rap
Just got the bud 2 and love them. They fit my ears perfectly and I just love them.
