Taking in your fave albums and podcasts on the go should be just as good as listening at home. It doesn’t matter what you like to listen to - whether you’re staying in the zone with a motivational playlist or soaking up the sun with a house compilation, there are three big things to always look out for: superb audio, battery life that lasts and a comfortable fit.
These are the features that make headphones you’ll want to use time and again.
The new Samsung Galaxy Buds Live offer an awesome True Wireless listening experience without any compromise. Here’s what we love about them…
Standout design
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live aren’t your average earbuds. They’re actually designed to match the curves of your ears and face to stay snug for long periods. That’s a result if you like to sit back and let autoplay take care of DJ duties.
They’re True Wireless too, so there’s no cable to connect the earbuds to each other. Just put each earbud in, and get ready to listen in total comfort and freedom. Choose the right size wingtips that fit you perfectly and tune in.
It’s not just about comfort though, it’s also about style. The Buds Live are available in Mystic White, Mystic Black and Mystic Bronze, all with a glossy finish that’s guaranteed to turn heads. There’s also a matching charging case, but more on that later…
Sound to astound
We all love pumping bass, but not when it drowns out everything else about a song. Fortunately, Galaxy Buds Live are well balanced, even in tracks where the bassline is in the driving seat.
The speakers feature audio experts AKG’s signature sound, so you can clearly pick out even the subtlest parts of each tune. For dance music lovers, the large drivers and bass ducts do an incredible job at boosting airflow. That means low-pitched sounds come through as clear and detailed as mids and highs
Stay focused and safe
Outside noises don’t have to be distractions. Samsung’s Active Noise Cancellation reduces background noises, letting you tune out the world and really hear every layer. Whenever that new album, single, or podcast episode comes out, you can get straight into it in total peace and quiet, wherever you are.
Noise cancelling isn’t only useful for outside, though. With many of us spending more time at home than ever, it’s ideal for tuning out household disruptions, or even creating a bit of silence to focus on work.
However, there are times where it’s important to be aware of what’s happening around you. That’s where the Buds Live get clever – they let you control exactly how much of the outside world filters through. That’s great if you’re crossing the road and need to hear traffic, or if you’re like us and have been known to miss your bus stop thanks to your music.
Easy controls
We like earphones with controls that instantly feel like they make sense, and the Galaxy Buds Live certainly tick that box. To answer calls, play, pause or skip tracks, all it takes is a tap of the earbud. That’s a lot less effort than digging your phone out of your pocket.
They’ve also got Samsung’s voice assistant, Bixby, built-in, giving you the answers you need just by asking. You really won’t need to reach for your phone that much while you’ve got these earbuds in.
Keep the tunes going
If you’ve got less than 30% power, 5 minutes charging adds another hour’s listening time, great when you’re in a rush. And if you’ve got a Samsung phone that supports Wireless PowerShare, you can use it to charge the case up.
We mentioned the charging case before, and we really do love the twinned jewellery box design that perfectly matches the earphones. It makes a classy storage solution, and it’ll recharge the Buds twice over.
Before you even get to the charging case though, the Galaxy Buds Live have 6 hours battery life – long enough to binge through any discography.
Chat like they’re there
We can’t overstate just how good these earbuds are for making handsfree calls. They’ve got three microphones and a pretty neat piece of built-in tech. A Voice Pickup Unit senses and translates the vibration your jaw movement makes into voice signals to add clarity from your side. It’s all very technical, but it does mean that the Galaxy Buds Live deliver unbelievable call quality.
If you have any questions about the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live, you can always call one of our colleagues on ShopLive or pop in-store to get expert advice.
