Samsung buds live
The audio didn’t stop until I had the earbuds on my desk for a couple seconds. The Galaxy Buds Live automatically pause when you take them off your ears, but there are some caveats. In an ideal world, the track controls wouldn’t be mirrored and one of those actions could be used for volume. My gripe with the Buds+ remains true here: it's frustrating that you have to give up core features to get on-board volume controls. With the Galaxy Buds (iOS) or Galaxy Wear app (Android), you can reassign that action for volume controls (you can put one on each side), Spotify (Samsung devices) or your voice assistant. By default, a long press turns the ANC on and off. A single tap for play/pause, double tap to skip forward and triple tap to go back to the previous song. On the outside, touch controls up top give you basic functionality.

If you’re a PC owner, the Galaxy Buds Live sync quickly with Windows 10 thanks to Swift Pair. Any time I don’t have to swipe and tap through a Bluetooth menu, I’m thrilled. It’s a lot like what Apple offers with AirPods. Once paired, that pop-up will display battery levels for both buds individually as well as the case. Simply flip open the case and the Galaxy Buds Live appears in a notification (on the Note 10+ in my case).

Samsung has made pairing with its own devices a breeze.

Whether it was forcefully shaking my head or wearing them during a workout, the Buds Live stayed put, despite feeling like they could come loose at any second. Eventually I got used to it, but I’ll be honest: it wasn’t my favorite. They never did, but the sensation they might was constant. Even still, the earbuds regularly feel like they’re about to fall out. A small hump on the bottom side rests on the ridge of your ear, but it’s not really a replacement for a top fin like on the Buds+. The buds are nestled in the parts of your outer ear, rather than with a tip that goes inside your ear canal.
