Samsung Launches New 'Galaxy Buds Live' to Rival Apple AirPods [Video]

Samsung has officially launched its new 'Galaxy Buds Live' wireless earbuds to rival Apple's popular AirPods.

Galaxy Buds Live defy conventional design — with one-of-a-kind aesthetics, they’re like nothing you’ve ever seen or worn before. Samsung has reconfigured traditional earbud design, laying out internal components horizontally instead of vertically. That way, the earbuds don’t protrude from your ears, providing a more natural appearance. This ergonomic, tip-less design conforms to the shape of your ear, making them comfortable enough to wear all-day. You can further customize your fit with two sizes of wingtips.




Galaxy Buds Live feature a 12mm speaker and bass duct with three microphones and a Voice Pickup Unit. The earbuds offer Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for open type, allowing you to tune out distractions like passing cars and loud laundry machines, while still being able to tune into important announcements and conversations.



For more convenient navigation, Galaxy Buds Live use a touch-based PUI (physical user interface) for touch control, as well as Bixby voice wake-up which allows you to navigate music, open apps, and send messages hands-free and eyes-free.

When fully charged, the earbuds can support up to 6 hours of playback, and the charging case provides an additional 15 hours over multiple charges. You can gain 1 hour of play time with just 5 minutes of charging.


Availability
The Galaxy Buds Live are available now in Mystic Bronze, Mystic White, and Mystic Black. They cost $169.99, that's less than Apple's AirPods Pro which are currently on sale for $234.
