[How to] Use Google Assistant on Galaxy Buds+ and Live instead of Bixby
You can avoid opening Bixby. I don't know where this menu normally lives, but if you go to the Nav Bar settings, there's a link at the bottom to set the default assistant app. Saves you from having to ever open Bixby.

How does the Galaxy Buds Live compare to the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus?
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus is the same price, or cheaper, than the Galaxy Buds Live, and outperforms the Galaxy Buds Live when it comes to sound quality, fit, and battery life. Our same testing recorded 11 hours and 44 minutes of playtime with the Galaxy Buds Plus, which runs circles around the ANC earbuds’ battery life, even with ANC off. The old earbuds lack noise canceling but do a better job of mitigating high-frequency sounds.
You can customize the controls, EQ the sound, and more through the Galaxy Wearable app; and the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus case supports Wireless PowerShare and quick charging. Microphone quality is a hair better with the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live, though. For the best value within the Samsung family, get the Galaxy Buds Plus.
Who should get the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live?
Samsung Galaxy smartphone owners will benefit the most from the Galaxy Buds Live, thanks to Samsung Scalable Codec support and Wireless PowerShare. Plus, anyone considering the AirPods (3rd generation) should get this instead since it fits more securely.
How do you wear the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live?
To properly fit the Galaxy Buds Live, follow these steps:
- Identify the left and right earbuds.
- Locate the bottom, inward-facing part of one earbud.
- The bottom should face down as you slide it into your ear canal.
- Rotate the top of the earbud so it rests firmly against your upper ear (concha).
- Make sure the external mics are still visible (you may need a mirror)
- Repeat steps 1-5 with the other earbud.
If the buds are falling out after you’ve tried these steps, you may need to try a different-sized ear stay. There’s a learning curve to correctly wearing the earbuds, but soon it becomes automatic. If you’re unsure of how to install the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live, Samsung provides directions on how to wear them in the Galaxy Wearable application.

I am having trouble with the right "fit" from Buds Live. Anyone have any good videos showing how to properly put them on?
The official Samsung video got me all confused as the wrong way per the video is the only way they remain snug in my ears...
Thanks.
Hi, AdemD_39!
My name is Caio and I'll be happy to help you today =)
Check if you're facing the same issue with other bluetooth audio devices. If you realize it's happening only with your Buds Live, then try resetting them through Galaxy Wearable app and then try reconnecting it again to your PC.
Best regards,
