r/galaxybuds on Reddit: Should I get Galaxy Buds Live?
January 9, 2024 -

They haven't been updated in a long time and Idk they might be this year. I got the samsung galaxy buds2 Pro and they were a better upgrade from buds pro. They did have the same problem where overtime my ears would get irritated and push them out of my ears. I only use for hours at a time and even workout with them. I wound up loosing my buds2 pro and now have to use buds pro again. I want to try out live because they're over the ears instead of inside.

r/galaxybuds on Reddit: Samsung Announces Galaxy Buds3 FE, Launches Sept. 5th
August 18, 2025 -

I don't like reading articles as much as the next guy, so I decided to summarize it for you! Samsung hasn't announced the price, but they were pretty detailed as to what it has features wise:

• Active Noise Canceling and Ambient Sound • Crystal Clear Call Technology • Larger speakers with clearer highs and deeper bass (nobody has these earbuds right now as far as I know, so sound quality is subjective until it launches) • Pinch and Swipe Gestures and Blade design (same as buds3 pro, but no blade lights)

Specs:

• Battery life: 6 hours, 24 hours with case (ANC on), and 8.5 hours, 30 hours with case (ANC off) • IP54 Water Resistance • Bluetooth 5.4 • Samsungs High quality SSC Codec (UHQ Audio)

Galaxy AI: • Live Translation • Voice Commands

It'll come in a matte white with black eartips or in all matte black, and it launches on September 5th. Looks promising IMO, and the matte black looks SO good.

Bought them back in september of 2020, they are my first and only pair of wireless earbuds i've ever owned, and they're still going strong with great battery life, the ANC is amazing and so is the sound quality.

r/galaxybuds on Reddit: When are buds 4 coming out?
October 6, 2024 -

I currently have galaxy buds pro from the past 3 years which fit really really well and work perfectly too. I am thinking of upgrading to the buds 3 pro but the mixed reviews are making me uncertain whether they are good or not. I can buy them as they are on offer currently but at the same time I'm thinking of waiting for the buds 4 to come out , that is, if they come out on the January event. So should I just buy buds 3 pro even though my pros are working perfectly fine or should I wait for the buds 4 to launch and then buy that. (Also there is no exchange option available that is why I can't exchange my buds pro at a good price).

r/galaxybuds on Reddit: Are Samsung Buds Live still worth it in 2024?
October 11, 2024 -

I got a pair of Samsung galaxy buds lives in 2021 for free when I bought a Samsung phone.

I have small ears and in-ear earbuds don't fit well in my ears. I prefer open ear buds anyway because I don't like being fully enclosed.

My pair of buds live have now stopped working after being dropped 10+ times over the past 3 years and they have mild water damage. They fit well in my ears, but they're hard to get now.

I found a seller on ebay who agreed to sell a pair of new, sealed buds live for £70 (£65+£5 delivery). But I'm not sure if it's worth buying.

I don't really like the "stems" on many earbuds now, but I'm sure I'll get used to them. I decided to look around at newer earbuds because in 3 years surely earbud technology has progressed.

The Samsung buds 3 have mixed reviews but I can get them for around £110 - not sure if it's worth getting or wait to get buds 4 next year. I know the noise cancelling will be miles ahead of the buds lives, but the sound quality has mixed reviews and some people say they're not worth the price. I've also seen the Huawei freebuds se 2 have great reviews for a £40 earbud.

Can anyone offer any advice on what I should do? Any good recommendations for open earbuds unders £120?

Bought a pair , used , for 800 Czech crowns which is about 35 dollars and I really like them! The unique shape is amazing for the fit in the ears. But you have to learn how to insert them properly

They're absolutely still worth it, so much so, I have 3 pairs - white, black, and the mystic bronze. The black were free, the white and bronze, from Amazon a few years ago at £60 each. I've bought and tried the new Buds 3 for about 2 months now. My honest opinion? They are very good, with better sound quality for music and better ANC. However, the common issue like their competitors the Airpod, the fit is the tricky part. Sometimes, they seem to hold perfectly and feel snug. Other days, they don't. The voice control works 50% of the time; convenient but it's hit and miss. If you then use the stem control to adjust the volume, you have to reposition them again. The case is top quality and holds a decent charge, but the twisty way to insert them can be fiddly. But I mainly listen to talk radio, so the Buds Live are perfectly adequate for me. But most importantly, once they're in the ears, they stay secure. They rest well in the curve of my ears and rarely move. I'm going to retire my Buds 3 for now; they do look good, and you tend to fit in with the majority of the Apple crowd sporting the stem design. But what's the point if you spend every few minutes pushing them back in? Like all earphones, the fit will be a personal thing, and everyone's ears are different. You can take a gamble and get lucky. However, after giving them a fair crack of the whip, I'm glad to sport my Buds Live again. In my opinion, the best Buds that Samsung has released.
