SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds2 True Wireless Earbuds Noise Cancelling Ambient Sound Bluetooth Lightweight Comfort Fit Touch Control, International Version (Graphite)

This was the second pair I got of these and they work great. They last a whole. But compare them in price to the new ones as these are now getting older

The earbuds overall are wonderful. The sound is crisp and clear. I was hesitant after seeing some reviews mentioning discomfort and the earbuds easily falling out. I've used these all day every workday for seventeen days. I've fallen asleep with these things in my ears at night. I can say that I've had no issues with these things falling out. Quite the contrary. With the larger bud tips (don't remember the exact name for 'em) these earbuds have stayed in my ears without issue. In fact, I'd say, when it comes to staying in, these earbuds are more reliable than any other earbuds I've had. They've stayed in through walking, running, exercise, tossing and turning in my sleep, you name it!Now these earbuds do have a few bells and whistles that eat into the battery life. Of all the earbuds I've had, these ones definitely have the worst battery life. However, that's not really saying much. The extensive battery lives of most wireless earbuds have set that bar very high. And while these particular earbuds didn't quite clear that bar, the battery life is still more than adequate for me. I've never had issues with these things running out of juice on me. After four hours of near consistent use without recharging, the battery was still at 54 percent.In any case, the tradeoff is worth it for me. I'm loving the active noise cancellation as well as the ambient sound mode. It's so nice to be able to listen to someone without having to take out one earbud and hold it in your hand. Incidentally, I realized I could use ambient sound mode to filter out annoying sounds while listening to someone. For example, with ambient sound at medium volume, I could hear the voices of my peers just fine, but I didn't hear the annoying hum of florescent lights.The earbuds may not be the most user friendly. There aren't really instructions that come with it. Just a QR code directing you to download the app. The app will then instruct you on how to use these. You do need to download the app to get these things working. It did trip me up at the beginning but once I figured it out, I actually grew to like the app. The app lets you control the ambient noise volume, locate your earbuds if you misplace them, and disable touch controls so you don't accidentally pause or play whatever you're listening to. There is an app available for windows computers (don't know about macs). I use these on my pc as well as my android phone.All in all, I'm happy with my purchase. If you don't mind trading off some battery life for some nifty features, and don't mind having to add an app to your phone to get your earbuds going, then I would highly recommend these

The media could not be loaded. I really loved my Samsung buds live. I caught them on sale on Amazon of course. My ear canals are small so the Airpod shaped buds always hurt my ears.When I came across the cute rose color, bean shaped Samsung buds live. I wanted to try them.The earbuds fit perfectly. They never fell out of my ears. They never hurt my ears. Sometimes i forget i have them in.They even fit my 9 year old ears with no problem.I only use one bud at a time. So i can only tell you about my experience using one bud. The battery life was about 3-4 hours of talk or music. If that bud needed changing i would just switch out the one for the other. The buds also make a subtle sound to let you know the battery needs charging.I have never had a problem with my rose colored, bean shaped buds.However, I lost one of my ear buds do to my own carelessness. I didn't like just having one bud.I had to look for a replacement pair.I wanted the same earbuds that I had, but I didn't want to pay that price.I looked at quality, ease of use, and how they feel in my ear.I came across the Samsung Galaxy Buds2. In the videos, the earbuds look like you have a keloid growing out of your ear. So dont go by their video. They are a nice size.I was skeptical of purchasing these earbuds. As you can see in that video both cases are the same size. The size of both earbuds are similarin size.The shape of course is different but still comfortable for smaller ears. Neither has fallen out of my ears.However the Samsung Galaxy buds 2 have a better sound for music. The noise canceling is still the same. People still hear some background noise. If you have both Samsung Galaxy buds 2 in at the same time you will hear yourself talking and you sound like your holdingyour nose when you talk.Here is the differenceb the bean shaped buds do not have the big rubber tip. So thats why youd never hear yourself talk with the buds live.However, I can say I like them both. I'm a little upset because the buds2 are black with a white case and my rose color buds match the case. I would recommend these earbuds to someone with smaller ear canals. Those airpods ones really hurt my ear.I hope this helps if anyone was curious.

I'm writing this review as of a year later after purchasing these headphones, mostly because these cheap(er) headphones usually don't last a long time. A year later, these still have pretty solid battery and work for a few days without charge. The sound quality has always been relatively good - I make music and pay a lot of attention to the intricacies in music, and they come out well in these headphones, especially lower frequency sounds.There are of course a few downsides to these headphones. First is the issue of comfort. I've never been a fan of in-ear buds, so wearing these for anything beyond an hour gets pretty uncomfortable for me. Sometimes I get a headache out of wearing these. They also do fall out easily and don't stay in your ears, at least not comfortably. Another thing is, although they can connect with any phone, their app function doesn't work on my iphone - as in these buds do not come out on the app. As a result, I have never been able to adjust the functions on them. This sometimes turns into a problem, because if you happen to graze them a little bit, they pause. If I'm at the gym and I wipe my sweat off my head, I might touch them lightly and they pause. This can get quite annoying.
