Galaxy buds live As Samsung’s latest generation of TWS headsets, it is easy to think of it as an upgrade of the same series of Buds/Buds+ from the perspective of its name. It is natural when the front seats perform well. I look forward to Buds live even more. Everyone has mixed reviews for ANC (active noise reduction), so let's take a look at how the Buds Live experience is.
Buds live adopts a big waist or big bean design, which is a trendy trend for the ap-shaped TWS field full of streets. With nice colors, it instantly becomes a fashion item. Different from traditional in-ear earphones, it has a more comfortable wearing experience; also different from the semi-in-ear earphones on the market, it can be worn more stably and is suitable for a wider range of people. Simply put, it is not too picky;
The brand-new design form, the wearing method also has a certain learning cost, mainly to put the lower part into the auricle and ear hole and then gently rotate the upper part. When I was experiencing iconx2018 and Buds, I said that wearing comfort is the most important point of TWS headphones, and the design of the big waist shape should also be a consideration in this regard. Wearing headphones, there is no foreign body sensation, but there will be a slight sensation of pain in the auricle. Different auricle sizes will have different feelings, but there is no other discomfort after getting used to it. The overall wearing experience is still good. The
earphones and earphone box (black) are polished with a bright surface, which will have a sense of exquisiteness. The whole is small and light, and it will not be too obtrusive in the pocket. The disadvantage is that it is easy to be contaminated with grease, and the headphone box cover is not fixed on the hinge. The addition of
ANC (active noise reduction) is the main reason for Buds Live's attention. In fact, it is difficult to make a more accurate evaluation of Buds Live for this part. To some extent, it may not be as good as Buds passive noise reduction. ; And I think the passive noise reduction of in-ear headphones should be called sound insulation. The sense of barrier and foreign body worn on the earphone will have a trance that cannot perceive the external sound information; and the active noise reduction of Buds Live is mainly to filter some low-frequency noise. For example, air-conditioning noise, car noise, and subway noise can weaken some of the sounds that cause interference to people, but still retain the sound information communicated with the outside world. From the perspective of long-term wearing, this kind of processing will be safer and more suitable. It is also suitable for ears. More comfortable. In the actual test, a quiet room can completely eliminate the noise of the air conditioner; in the subway, the more disturbing part of the noise can also be removed, but the long-term (more than 1 hour) high-intensity noise reduction treatment will make the ears swell and uncomfortable. , I guess it has something to do with the algorithm; as for some specific scenes with high noise reduction requirements, I prefer I choose the head-mounted XM3. There is also a little dessert about noise reduction, that is, the headset can also turn on noise reduction when it is not connected, but there is no beep. Generally speaking, everyone's controversy on noise reduction should be very big, so whether it is good or not is really a matter of opinion. Of course, some people will definitely say that I am washing hahahahahaha.
comes with a larger ear wing in the random package. I have seen that it is easier to get the ear pierced by the big ear wing, which will bring better noise reduction. Of course, the comfort will be certain. Decline, I think it is not worth making this trade-off, you can choose according to actual needs.
If you want to take advantage of the functions of Samsung's smart wearable devices, of course you have to install Galaxy Wearable. The entire app interface is simple and easy to use. You can also add desktop widgets to control noise reduction and check power. In the choice of equalizer , what I recommend is normal, energetic and vivid. The energetic low frequency has a lot of volume, and the overall atmosphere has a strong sense of space, even a bit of a hit; while normal is there. The magnitude of vitality is reduced a bit; as for vividness, it will be more plain water. The sound quality of the Buds series has always been the benchmark of TWS, and the sound quality of Buds Live is much better than Buds' low frequency. The mid-to-high frequency is relatively clear and the difference is not too big.
z8There are two more interesting parts of the zoperation interface. One is a seamless headset connection. Originally I thought it was a one-key switch for multiple devices, but I found out that it was automatic switching. For example, I connected my mobile phone to listen to songs and turned on the computer. It will automatically disconnect from the computer. I will turn it off. After turning it off, there is no one-click switch. I hope to optimize this function as soon as possible. The second is the game mode in the laboratory and the use of ambient sound to relieve stress. The mode is only applicable to Samsung devices. The delay of Samsung mobile phones is much smaller due to the halo blessing. There is no big gap in the game mode when the game cannot be opened. It is not obvious to me that other video apps are added to the game center by a show operation; Samsung mobile phone, this Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro will have a relatively obvious game delay, and there is no improvement compared to Buds. The environmental sound of the laboratory to relieve stress can also be understood as a youth version of the transparent mode, because Buds Live is originally biased towards a semi-in-ear design.
For calls, Buds Live has built-in three microphones, and the overall effect is significantly better than Buds. And the charging life is also good: (the earphone box is 20%+ for 5 minutes, 50%+ for 15 minutes, and the ear + earphone box is fully charged in 2 hours), and it supports wireless charging. The battery life is basically up to the official publicity. The noise reduction of the headset is about 6 hours, and the box is more than 20 hours.
In addition, there are two small points. The touchpad experience is not much better than Buds, and it is still easy to misuse. I sigh again about the details of the app pinch bar; the other is that the operation prompt sound is too loud to adjust, and I hope to solve it soon Right. As
writes here, it is actually obvious that Buds Live is not an upgraded continuation of Buds/Buds+. They had a completely different design language before, and are more like different branch products. Perhaps the next generation of Buds will continue to add active noise reduction to Buds+. , And can meet the expectations of other people.
Buds Live has a stunning appearance, a good wearing experience, top-level sound quality (TWS field), rich functions, and opinionated active noise reduction, which can well cover the scenes in life and play an auxiliary role. Looking at Buds Live, Buds, w31 and xm3, I have to think about how to use them in combination.
