Buds Live are super nice!

[cnotes2019]

I’ve asked this question before but don’t remember the answer I got. But does anyone else feel the volume on it way too low?

I have no problem with the volume.

So mine must be defective

I learned not to wear mine while painting. They have always been a poor fit, but I at least thought that they would stay in for light outdoor chores. But I discovered I was wrong when one fell out and into a gallon of paint I was using.

No plans to replace it. While I did enjoy them at times, the fit was poor, they would cut out at times and start to beep when the temps where about 90F

yes...the fit...it just sits there...how is audio gonna be good if it just sits...even my Soundpeats Truengine 2 is better...and cost 1/3 of the Buds Live... and after selling the Buds Live,i got myself another Buds+...the Buds and Buds+ are way better...for me personally though.

I couldn't even take a walk without having to constantly readjust and reposition. For listening to music while at home I will use my over the ear models.

I knew they weren't a true active/sports bud, but I did hope that they would at least be suitable for walking/biking/yard work.

the really annoying part is that after a few minutes of adjusting,i get the right position.do something and it just comes out of position...

That and it pauses the music every time you touch it to adjust. I think I am going to get the Buds+.

I picked up the Galaxy Buds Live as an upgrade to my original Galaxy Buds, but at least the Galaxy Buds were more useable.

Mystic Bronze or White are probably the better colors for the Galaxy Buds Live. The black are more of a graphite color and still show fingerprints.

But worse is they emit a constant beep when they are overheating and that seems to be somewhere in the 80-90F range. They would constantly do it to me in the summer. I think maybe the lighter colors would be less prone, but who knows.

woah,i never had my Buds Live beep,maybe its because it isnt too hot here(it actually is,34 degrees-42 degrees outside)

Yeah, Samsung told me that's what was causing it. That they can start to beep between 85-95F and suggested I don't wear them in direct sunlight. But in Colorado we get a lot of direct sunlight and summer hihh temps are constantly in that range.

Not good. It never gets that hot in the UK so I have never heard them beep. I don't use them as much as I used to. I have been using my Bose QC35ii when I go out for security reasons.

We are pretty much in that temperature range July through September, so hard to avoid them beeping unless you walk at night.

I have a pair of the Sony WH-1000XM3 I use at home and have gone back to the Galaxy Buds for walking/biking.

I could use the WH-1000XM3's outdoors, but I find the big headphones a bit heavy for that and like the Buds.

I may pick up a set of the Galaxy Buds+ or else the Sony WF-1000XM3 buds.

I enjoyed the sound quality of the Galaxy Buds Live at home, but didn't find them useable outside the home between the fit and the beeping.

I bought them 5 days ago. Utterly disappointed. They look so good and sound terrible. Flat, no character, plenty bass and loudness but zero detail. I had given away my galaxy buds! I'm regretting that. I hope Samsung can have an update that perks up the sound and delivers the highs crisply and cleanly. It sound muted, muffled. So upset.

I used the promo credit to get the Ear Buds Live version when I ordered the Note 20. I already had the previous Ear Buds version. I've been switching back and forth between the two for a couple of months now. I will listen using one until the battery charge is down then swap over to the other while the first recharges.

Initially I was extremely disappointed with the Ear Buds Live. Everything sounded like it was being heard through a sock. Dull, muted, totally sub-par compared to the older Ear Buds. So I combed the forums here and various reviews on YouTube and learned I was almost certainly wearing the new Buds Live version incorrectly. Once I learned to position them correctly the Live version experience changed dramatically! Far, far superior to the old version. Now I was getting all the volume, rich tones, and quality I had been missing. Now I hear the old Buds as tinny and flat in comparison.

My only issue seems to be with the shape of my right ear. The Live Bud does not set as securely in it as does the left ear. I have tried both size 'wings' to no avail. The fit is the same with both versions.

I find that I need to speak a bit loudly when taking phone calls with the Buds Live. Otherwise the caller has issues hearing and understanding me. Can't tell if this is a matter of the device, my voice, my natural speaking level (I have a lifelong habit of not yelling on the phone from a career in a cubicle farm environment), or some combination of all of them.

You inserted it wrong. I had that issue when i first try it. Now it sound so damn good.

Look in the thread about silicone tips from Samsung. They do help a bit with keeping them in awkward ears.

I managed to dig on the main Samsung site and located this page:

It took more than a little effort to navigate the call system, but I finally reached a human and a set of the sleeves is on order. Should ship in 5-7 days.
