Our review of the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live dubbed them “a great alternative to Apple’s base Airpods,” and it’s easy to see — and hear — why they once ranked among the best wireless earbuds. Our review praised the Galaxy Buds Live as “some of the most comfortable wireless earbuds,” making them a go-to for commuting and long listening spells. Similarly, the audio performance is strong. The combination of 12mm speakers and air vents translated to rich, full audio in our testing. While the Galaxy Buds Live feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), the effect is not significant enough to block out anything but the smallest distractions from the outside world. At least the 8-hour battery life is better than the 5 hours you get from some AirPods.
