Samsung Electronics is the world's largest smartphone manufacturer, and has also set foot in the audio field, adding AKG, Harman Kardon, JBL and other brands to its umbrella in 2016, providing the foundation for its audio product development.
Samsung's early Galaxy Buds series did not have active noise cancellation, and with the blessing of AKG, the sound quality was developed, and the poor call quality of the Galaxy Buds generation was also improved. The Galaxy Buds are classics in the series, offering a smaller and lighter weight compared to their predecessor, the Gear Iconx 2018, with an 11-hour battery life, a new game mode and ambient sound.
Galaxy Buds do not use Qualcomm chips, naturally do not support aptX protocol, only support AAC/SBC, and will automatically use Samsung's exclusive Scalable Codec codec scheme when connected to Samsung mobile phones, but if connected to a third-party mobile phone, it will be converted to SBC encoding with poor bit rate.
Similar to all true wireless earbuds from all mobile phone brands, the Galaxy Buds series can be used with Samsung phones to quickly pair and connect, get pop-ups and settings screens, customize sound effects and touch functions, and more, while non-Samsung phones require a separate download of Smart Things and the Galaxy Wear app. The TWS ecosystem is very important between brands, so Guy recommends that mobile phone brands and TWS products should be as consistent as possible.
Priced at less than 1,000 yuan, the Galaxy Buds are cost-effective and suitable for Samsung phone users, but because of their good sound quality, wearing comfort and battery life, they are still worth buying even if they are not Samsung phone users. The success of the Galaxy Buds in the market led to the development of active noise cancelling headphones, which were released in the fall of 2020 along with the NOTE 20 series.
Galaxy Buds Live due to its "cashew" appearance,Once exposed, it has gained very high attention,It provides obsidian black、Misty gold、Three colors of early white,Consistent with NOTE 20 series mobile phones,The price of the national bank is 1199 yuan。 The product does not adopt the traditional earbud "plug-in" wearing method, and the operation is more like "place" directly in the ear, and the comfort is naturally higher than that of all earbud headphones.
According to the official data of Galaxy Buds Live, active noise cancellation can block out 97% of ambient noise, which is better than many other brands, in fact, the way the Galaxy Buds Live is worn makes the active noise cancellation feature not ideal. Many users find that when taking the wearing posture officially recommended by Samsung, the earbuds do not have a sealed environment in the ear canal, more or less "sound leakage", noise reduction is average, and the use of a more in-depth wearing method will reduce comfort, but the noise reduction effect is significantly better, and the overall use experience varies from person to person.
However, the Galaxy Buds Live is priced at the middle of the industry, and its appearance and wearing style are also unique, so this product has a high cost performance ratio, and it is recommended for Samsung mobile phone users and true wireless enthusiasts.
