Buds Live are super nice!

[Talderon]

I am so frustrated. Does anyone else have problems at tapping in the right place? I just can't seem to do it. When it works, it seems so random, I can't repeat it. I look for videos on the subject, and I cannot find a single one. I've tried the lessons on the app, but I cannot get it to work.

You're not alone. I think this is the ONE single gripe I have with these things.

I feel I have to tap all over the place to find the right spot and I used the training app as well and still can't get it right 80% of the time.

Regardless, I still LOVE these things!

Tap the buds right near your tragus, the little piece of cartlige at the front of ear. Works for me every time there.

I find a light touch rather than a tap works best if that makes any sense

Since these do NOT go into your ears like the Pods Pro, no. The ANC is not better IF, and really IF, you are looking for total isolation. Since these sit outside the ear canal, you will NOT get total isolation.

What they ARE good for is to filter out the low level noises that can bug a lot of people. Give you a cleaner audio experience without blocking EVERYTHING.

In all honesty, it's going to really be up to the individual to decide if the ANC in the Buds Live are good enough for you.

If you haven't gone through the process of Adapt Sound, you should. Makes a good quality sound even better.

Had a $150 Samsung credit and couldn't see anything else I wanted, so I got the Buds Live.

They sound really good, and it's nice to have the noise cancelation mode. They don't plug your ear canal, so you don't get that head cold plugged up feeling. The design is great, and they stay in nicely. The app is well designed, and setup was a breeze. Wireless charging and the ability to charge from the battery in the case is a nice touch.

But I want the plug ear canal feeling especially if no one can notice them !!!

The only issue I have is that the left one falls out. I had the same issue with my buds+. I think my ear is too small for any buds. I still like them i just have to keep pushing it back in. Tried a bigger ear tip but had the same problem. Oh well. I still love to use them. Now it is coming up to winter I will be using my bose qc 35ii again when I go out.

Does any one have issues with the Beans staying in your ears during work-outs or runs? I'm kinda on the fence with them for this reason alone.

 

[Kizzy Catwoman]

I just have weird ears
Most people have no issue with them staying in.

When you get those, can you upload pics? I don't need them, but I have a friend that might.

Thanks!

My experience is that they stay quite put and don't fall out or even feel like they are falling out even with rigorous jumping but getting the proper fit is probably key. It took a few days for me to find that my fit works better with the larger tips and the beans lie on bottom part of my ear. I don't know how those people wear them in their ads, but I've yet to see anyone in real life wear them they way they do in those ads.

The first few times you'll probably need to keep adjusting to find the right fit for you.

Disappointed. One or the other bud will lose Bluetooth connectivity when both are in my ears, while lying on my side. If i only have one bud in, it is fine. On my second pair now and the problem has returned. This is a lot of money for something that doesn't work well. Other than that the feel and sound are great.

 

[AndroidFanboy8]

So you've been happy with these in the week that you've been using them? Any issues with them falling out?

For me they haven't fallen out so far. They are super comfortable as you don't even feel them in even after long wearing times. However noise cancellation is not that great as you can still hear your surroundings.Unlike the buds plus which block out outside boise much better.

I blocked my touch controls. Effectively stopping the accidental touches.
