![[8 Pairs] for Galaxy Buds Live Ear Tips, Anti-Slip Silicone Ear Tips Cover Compatible with Samsung Galaxy Buds Live Earbuds C](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/612mishWXsL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
I've had these buds now for about 5-6 months. I love them! I've used other Samsung buds like the pro series and such, and those are great too. However, the pro buds and other knock off brands always ended up annoying my ears physically. They often would come loose or require me to almost constantly adjust them in my ear. These buds however are completely different for me.
First off, I do want to say that I don't really use these for calls. That being said, I have made use of them for a few conversations and overall they worked well enough for me. Clear audio in ear and the people I talked to seemed to not have issues hearing me.
I use them primarily for music or media audio and often in a loud environment (machinery, automaton noise). The sound these buds produce is deep and great. Iwas very surpass at the sound quality. The noise cancelation is good but they aren't meant to silence the outside world. So if that is something you're looking for, these aren't the best in that aspect. However, they work great to make sure the audio you want hear is clear and easy to understand above wherever/whatever you will be using them around. They can only noise cancel if you use both at the same time. Using noise cancelation will deplete battery quicker too, just fyi.
Most importantly, these buds are comfortable. I can wear one or both for 8-10hrs straight and my ears will be totally fine. Nothing from the buds inserts or presses into your canal or skin, they simply rest inside your ear. Even after wearing them for hours, they haven't accidentally fallen out yet! I don't have any mods or skins for mine, but they exist. The buds do come with a couple size bits you can swap out for optimal comfort.
The battery life of the buds is good, they can actively operate for just about 8hrs straight from 100% charge. I typically use one bud at a time and it will last all day. The case holds multiple charges for the buds from 5% back to 100% and it charges them quite fast. The case takes the most time to recharge maybe about an hour and a half or more from 0%, but that's not too bad (using a 30w anker). The case charges one bud from 5 or less percent to 100% in under an hour, maybe even 30min.
Feature wise, the pro line offers more, but those are typically double the price of these and again I feel they are less comfortable than these. I don't use the touch features, but they are all there and work well. It's a personal preference, I just don't like the touch features on any buds in general. These buds are also easy to clean.
If you're looking for comfort I would highly recommend these. The sound they offer is great, and overall for price and features it's a good deal!

My new favorite headphones and why I love them.

Literally the headphones that I have been waiting for.
I have been an Apple Airpod user for a few years now and I have been dying to upgrade, but until now there really just wasn't a good alternative. What I loved about Airpods was that they fit my ears perfectly, I know that really varies for everyone but for me they were really just the best fitting earbuds I could find. I really wanted something from an Android device manufacturer, but at the time there wasn't anything comparable. I have to admit though that even though I was missing out on a lot of the extra features, as simple bluetooth headphones they just worked really well.Fast forward a few years I have been really wanting to get a new pair of headphones, the Airpods are seriously showing their age and the batteries are slowly dying. The problem I was having was that up until now all of the nicer but reasonably priced headphones use those little silicone tips and I can't stand them. They make my ears feel clogged up and itchy. My wife got some of the original Galaxy Buds and I gave them a try. Ultimately they were really nice but I just can't deal with those tips. That's why when I first saw the leaks of these a few months ago I just knew I had to have them. I have been following them and just waiting for them to come out.... and now they're here.My initial thoughts are that they sound so much better than the Airpods and fit my ears even better. I love the fact that the whole thing is very small and there's nothing dangling out of your ears. I haven't played with the assistant or noise cancelling yet, I mainly just care about using them as normal headphones, but I will definitely update this after I have had some more time with them.So far the only drawback to me is that the case is noticeably bulkier than the Airpods case. I really wish they would have at least stuck with the Original galaxy buds style of case, which was thicker too but also longer and narrower, but It's not a deal breaker or anything. If anything having USB C and wireless charging more than make up for the increased size. And yes I know that the newer Airpods have wireless charging... but I have the really old ones.Overall I am very happy with these so far and I can't wait to put them through their paces.------- Two week update------So far still happy with the new buds and 99% of the time they have worked flawlessly. However there do seem to be some odd quirks that pop up occasionally. One time when using them one of the ear buds somehow went out of sync with the other one by like a half a second. So I would hear something in one ear then hear just a littler later in the other one. The effect was like having a constant echo in my head. But disconnecting and reconnecting the buds fixed the issue and that was the only time so far that has happened. Also, the bluetooth seems a little on the weak side. For example when I have my phone in my left pocket and my right ear bud in, the signal drops out like crazy. However if I switch buds or move my phone to the other pocket the issue goes away. So again not a big deal but it just something I never had an issue with when using Airpods.Overall I am still happy with them and other than these little quirks they have been fantastic. I would still highly recommend them but just be aware they're not perfect.
