Launched at Rs 14,990, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live earbuds come with overall satisfying audio output, impressive battery life and unique design. These earbuds are a complete no-brainer for any Samsung Galaxy smartphone or tablet user who is looking to experience a TWS device.

Not bad comfortable but not good for booking out background noise

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live don’t take the route of most other true wireless earphones. They are weird and a bit wonderful, with far better comfort than you’d expect from a couple of pieces of hard plastic you shove in your ears. Samsung clearly did some homework on the inside of our ears. We just wish they sounded a bit better than they do. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live don’t have the refinement and insight we are after at £170. Our ears aren't offended, but yours have a right to be demanding at this price.

Connectivity with Samsung devices, touch controls and wireless charging capabilities are great. However I find the buds don't fit well in your ear and become painful to wear for extended durations. If worn the way the instructions say, the sound quality is not great. The active noise cancelling makes no noticeable difference. I would skip these and buy a pair of buds of the type designed to fit in your ear.

Samsung’s ambitious wireless earbuds boast a neat design and tick a lot of boxes, but the sound quality and software need to be better

Comfortable, clever design, Impressive bass weight, Clear and open presentation

Beaten for timing and dynamics, Charging case issues, Some bugs in the system
