Product details

The Galaxy Buds Live combine iconic and ergonomic design with rich sound and advanced comfort. In addition, the Galaxy Buds Live's active noise cancellation (ANC) not only ensures an active and intense
sound experience, but also call and voice quality. The earphones and case have a unique design and shape. The ergonomic, rounded design enhances wearing comfort and makes them a stylish fashion accessory. Galaxy Buds Live are available in Mystic Bronze, Mystic Black and Mystic White colors to perfectly match your style.

Thanks to Sound by AKG and even bigger 12mm speakers with bass channel, Galaxy Buds Live have a much better sound quality. So you can enjoy your music anywhere. For the first time, the Galaxy Buds Live are equipped with active noise cancellation ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), so you can hear what you want to hear - whether it's music or the voice of the person you're talking to on the phone. The Galaxy Buds Live have 3 built-in microphones. This ensures that every word you say is captured perfectly.

The Galaxy Buds Live have a playback time of 22 hours as well as a quick charge feature. This means you can enjoy 35 minutes of music with just 3 minutes of charging. Plus, they're Qi-compatible: that means you can charge your Galaxy Buds Live on the go with your Samsung Galaxy smartphone or any Qi-compatible wireless charger.

In-ear headphones are inserted directly into the ear canal. The resulting pressure chamber effect allows for a powerful sound experience without having to turn the music up too loud. This is gentle on your ears while extending the battery life of your playback device. What's more, in-ear headphones have excellent noise-cancelling properties - so you're much less aware of distracting ambient noise. Thanks to their compact size, they can be stowed effortlessly in any trouser pocket, making them the ideal companion when you're on the move.

Wireless headphones in the test Better without cables, say many headphone buyers. Bluetooth headphones do not require a connection cable - there are no more trip hazards. There are models in the classic design of a headphone with a headband and, as an alternative, in-ear headphones - tiny in size, but not in sound...

Other noise-cancelling headphones provide more isolation - but not everyone likes that. The Galaxy Buds Live with their special way are a good alternative. There's nothing to complain about in terms of sound and function, and the price is comparatively low.
