The new shape rearranges the technology inside. So, unlike many other earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Live sit more in-ear than out of it.
Galaxy Buds Live defy conventional design — with one-of-a-kind aesthetics, they’re like nothing you’ve ever seen or worn before.

A Big Sound from Discrete Buds
On paper, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live Specifications promise a great user experience.
Each bud has a 12mm AKG speaker and can remove up to 97% of external noise thanks to Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) technology.
There are 3 internal microphones for superior voice/video calling and support for Bixby Voice Wake-Up. When fully charged the Buds Live will deliver around 6 hours of playback and a further 15 hours from the charging case.
The ergonomic design of the Galaxy Buds Live looks like they could be those ANC earphones you could actually sleep with in, during a flight!
