Specs-wise, the Samsung Galaxy Live buds are shaping up to be a formidable AirPods Pro contender. They’ll also butt heads with Bose’s upcoming noise-cancelling true-wireless earbuds. The Galaxy Buds Live feature a bean-shaped ergonomic design, 12mm speakers tuned by AKG, a built-in mic, and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). They also support Wireless Powershare so you can charge them with select Samsung handsets like the new Galaxy Note20. On-ear touch pad controls let you conveniently manage music and calls. You’ll single tap, to play or pause a song, double tap to play the next track, answer or end a call, and triple tap to play a previous track. Meanwhile, Bixby Voice support lets you summon Samsung’s digital virtual assistant for hands-free control. For access to advanced features, you can download the free Galaxy Wearable app from Google Play (opens in new tab) or the Galaxy Buds app from the App Store (opens in new tab). These apps let you toggle ANC on or off, customize your audio via an equalizer and manage the earbuds’ touch controls. Galaxy Buds Live work with Android devices running Android 5.0 and up as well as iDevices with iOS 10 and later. They also pair easily with any laptop using Windows 10 PC’s Swift Pair. So if you’re bargain hunting for some new wireless earbuds to add to your arsenal of gadgets, the new Galaxy Buds Live are worth considering.
