hey guys it's max we just got in samsung's new galaxy buds
live i'm excited to check them out and compare them to my airpods pro
that i've been using ever since they came out these are fantastic
but now we have a competitor the first galaxy buzz that have
active noise cancellation let's go ahead and
take these out it's interesting i thought this little case would be larger
i like how small they kept it look at that size it's a little thicker
but i love it more compact too all right moment of truth
now those look nice way nicer than the case
that actually matches my apple watch and they don't call these gold right
they call them bronze i don't know why that looks like gold
interesting they have more weight than i expected
so let's pull one of these out i'll pull out one of my air pods here
it's the airpod pro the shorter stem definitely a unique shape looks like a
little bean and i'm glad that samsung decided to do
something different something more interesting than trying to
you know copy apple or do what they've been doing
before we do a sound comparison and the noise cancellation comparison
let's connect them there you go popped up automatically
bam that is done now before we listen to these bad boys and compare them i want
to let you know that i'm going to take about a week and i'm going to dish my
airpods pros try out the galaxy buzz live see how
they work day to day and how they compare and then do my
review so make sure you guys are subscribed and have those notifications
enabled i also want to mention the battery life
both these cases do support wireless charging and have batteries
built into them the samsung's all together
with the battery inside the case will get you about 21 hours compared to over
24 with the airpod pros but when you're using just the actual
earbuds themselves samsung does win out you can get up to
eight hours if you don't use active noise cancellation or the bixby
listening feature whereas the airpods will give you up to five hours the
galaxy buttons are slightly better and let's try these on i don't
even know exactly how to put these things in oh
that that is weird i'm hearing my music ready
how does that look with you looks pretty flat i know i need to get a haircut but
it's interesting definitely a different feeling okay okay
well i'm used to my airpod pros i'm used to how they feel
this definitely fills in the outside of my ear so you can feel it that it's
there but it doesn't feel uncomfortable so it's pretty much
flush with my ear so if you're somebody that rides bikes if you want to wear
headphones listen music while you're doing that uh
you'll be able to slip stuff over your head and
put a helmet on or whatever and it's not gonna fall out or get pushed out
so let's jump into our sound test and obviously i don't have the airpod pro
sound but i'm going to take a quick listen just to refresh my
mind and it's still weird the shape here
but it goes in actually not not too bad okay
all right moment of truth the bass
which one is louder as far as you list hearing them
i can hear the buzz way way louder so the butts he can hear way louder
um i want to see if i can tweak these settings the bass is
ah sounds great so i just went through all the different modes and
surprisingly normal actually sounds the best it's the loudest
and the bass just sounds nice it's a nice balanced sound
it sounds fantastic i'm gonna put my airpod pros back in
and take a listen uh i don't know this might have just ruined the airpod pros
for me at least sound quality wise doesn't sound terrible let's go back to
these gosh
yeah they sound nice they sound really nice
sound quality wise good job samsung you did it
these things sound fantastic now the next question
how good is the active noise cancellation i'll start out with the
buds live and i have to mention these are not
a sealed design and it's weird because apple went from having a non-sealed with
air pods to a sealed for noise cancellation
samsung went the opposite but let's pop them in and samsung mentioned they get
rid of 97 of low sounds and we have a central ac
there it's blowing right now it's an annoying low sound
i definitely notice a difference my voice sounds a lot higher now
and that vent that's right up there i still hear the air that's coming out of
it but not the low parts of it and it almost sounds a little bit more
annoying instead of like this low droning sound i hear like this
like this higher end sound so it sounds like it's not getting rid of everything
just those low noises wow so that this is weird
i'm hearing more of the low sound it didn't get rid of as much of the low
droning sound but it got rid of all of that high frequency noise
of the air going through the vents i don't hear that at all
that's really funny i definitely prefer the airpod pros for noise cancellation
let's try out the buds plus i'm just curious how that compares without
active just using a sealed design that's weird again i hear a lot less
noise with these ones even though they don't have active noise cancellation
they're not even turned on they're dead right now
but i'm getting most of that sound from that vent is blocked out my voice sounds
a lot lower than normal not as good as the airpod pros but
actually better than these galaxy buds
live yeah that's not very good honestly personally i would just keep
the active noise cancellation turned off because it's more annoying with it on at
least in our environment here now let's compare the microphones this
was pretty much the weakest point of the previous galaxy buds
samsung says it made a lot of improvements the new galaxy buds live
have three microphones compared to two with the airpods pro let's go ahead and
do a voice recorder and you guys let me know which one
sounds better this is the microphone quality with the galaxy buds life
and this is the microphone quality with apple's earpods pro so what is
my final verdict well i have to just say that
samsung i am impressed for 170 bucks the battery life that you have them
especially with that noise cancellation off eight hours that is excellent
the sound quality is excellent i personally love how they look especially
these gold ones and that they're flush in the in your
ears it just sounds like a great value i think people are going to
really enjoy using these now the sound cancellation on here i
feel like they just added that just to have it on the box because
everybody's doing active noise cancellation
it sounds worse than the previous galaxy buzz that doesn't have it because it's
not a steel design don't buy for active noise cancellation
unless you have some kind of low noise with no medium or high frequency sound
at all maybe it will work for that so if you're
using an android device man these offer a great
value now the earpods these don't sound as good
they're more expensive but the noise cancellation works fantastic so if you
need noise cancellation even on an android phone these sound
great now i still have some questions one how is the comfort for long term use
i'll be covering that in my full review and how well do these work on an
iphone that's exactly what i'm going to be doing
for the next week and doing a dedicated video for iphone users that are
