Yes, the Galaxy Buds Live feature a water/sweat resistance rating of IPX2. Unfortunately, it won't be enough for getting caught in the rain, and there are better options for workouts.

damian

Samsung doesn't provide exact numbers for full charge times for any of its earbuds, but users can expect it to take around one hour or so when placing the earbuds in the charging case to go from 0-100 percent.

Is samsung galaxy buds live good?
angelic

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live are good – but not great – true wireless earbuds. They have a number of neat features and offer a combined 28-hour battery life, but their sound isn't amazing, and the noise cancellation has a lot of room for improvement.

Are samsung galaxy buds live comfortably?
adam

The bean-shaped design makes for a very comfortable fit and audio is above-average for open earbuds. However, if you're after decent noise cancellation, look elsewhere. Calling the Galaxy Buds Live's ANC light touch would be doing them a favour – it's practically non-existent.

The Galaxy Buds Live, Galaxy Buds Pro, and Galaxy Buds2 include Active noise canceling. When this feature is turned on, it will block out noise in the nearby area, so you can be fully immersed in your music.

Under the shiny exterior and the kidney bean-shaped look, the Galaxy Buds Live functions just like any other true wireless earphones. That means you can connect the Galaxy Live earphones to your laptop, iPhone, or even to some of the smartwatches.

Which is better samsung galaxy buds live or plus?
merlin
about 2 years ago
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus has better battery life The Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus isolates the listener even more effectively than the active noise cancelling Galaxy Buds Live. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live doesn't necessarily struggle with battery life, lasting for about 5 hours, 15 minutes on a single charge.
