"with great deep bass response. ... I have no idea how they achieved this without an airtight seal like other earbuds need."


"The most impressive thing for me was the sound... ... With the right fit they would sound amazing and the bass was pretty good for a semi in ear."


"still have really good deep bass response."

"Sadly, they were really uncomfortable for my ears. ... Both of my ears would start feeling extremely sore after like 15 mins of use (even though I used them for +5 hours trips, I was in pain but I enjoyed the sound haha)."


"Also the left earbud wasn't as secure as the right one and would occasionally fall."


"most of them are the shape of airpods 4 which I'm not comfortable with either. ... the samsung buds are so good considering they're exactly like airpods 4"

"buds that claim they are for exercise but as soon as your ears get sweaty they start to slip out slowly. ... any earbuds that don't have a secondary method of securing themselves, will eventually come loose from sweat and movement. ... Any wireless earbuds without extra ear hooks, will eventually annoy you with how often you have to re-adjust the fit."

"my older galaxy buds have terrible latency."


"I tried buds plus and buds live Both have a alot of latency for my taste"


"Airpods have the same latency on a Steam Deck or any other PC as your galaxy buds for the same reason. They will both be using the SBC codec with precisely the same performance."

My personal favorite are the Buds Live. They are the most comfortable earbuds that Samsung has. I really wish they made a second gen tho..

I used the Samsung galaxy live. The bean ones that DON'T go inside my ear. I still hear a good amount of my surroundings since they don't go in my ear. Ive used them daily for about 5 years. Battery life has gone down some but I use one at a time anyways and alternate so they still last me beyond a 12 hour shift. They're an old model for cheap now. About $100

r/RatschlagWas für In-Ear-Kopfhörer könnt ihr empfelen für kleine Ohren?
4 months ago

Ich habe auch enge Gehörgänge. Guck Dir Mal die Galaxy buds live an, sind schon etwas älter, damit aber auch sehr günstig. Kommen nicht in den Gehörgang sondern liegen in der Muschel davor. Ich war auch erst skeptisch, aber die halten bei mir am besten und drücken nicht.

You already get a Samsung phone... just go get Samsung Galaxy Buds Live with a price around $100, what's more important, the same system works better, or Shokz Openfit if you have sporting demand

r/AuDHDWomenNeed recommendations for noise canceling earbuds that does cause the uncomfortable suction feeling 😬
10 months ago

Suction feeling? Like your ear canals can't breathe? Or while you're trying to take them out? Have you tried changing the tips? Sometimes silicone can get slimy. You can get foam tips which may change how they feel in your ears. How about ones with active noise canceling instead of passive? Passive noise canceling uses physical means to cancel out noise. Samsung Galaxy Live buds are like beans that just sit in your ear folds rather than in your canals. They have active noise canceling because of how they fit. Maybe something like that?

Don't get the Samsung bean earbuds, they fall out regardless of the different size adapters. Used mine for a few weeks, now they sit in a drawer. Bought an off brand on Amazon, gets the job done and never fall out or get irritating.

I still love my beans. Best buds I've ever owned ([Galaxy buds live](https://www.samsung.com/us/business/mobile/audio/headphones/galaxy-buds-live-sm-r180nznaxar/), for the uninitiated)

r/Earbudsfinally got these clip-on things. why do you guys prefer them over in-ear buds?
16 days ago

After my Galaxy Buds live died I tried a few earbuds like the Oneplus 4, AirPods, pixel buds, etc. they all either hurt my ear or would lose a seal if I moved to much. The open dots are amazing and a saving grace for me.
