Source: Digitec GalaxusWireless 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...
Overall, the Galaxy Buds Live are unfortunately hardly recommendable. In our ears, the headphones fit very well and did not cause any problems even after hours, but the sound could not convince us. Samsung's sound engineers must have had beans in their ears. Sorry, that one had to go...
A bold but successful next step from Samsung. In terms of comfort and sound, the Buds Live cut a good figure.
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.
