Last week, Samsung launched the new true wireless headset Galaxy Buds Live along with the Galaxy Note 20 series. This is a wireless headset with active noise reduction function, against Apple's AirPods Pro. Today, foreign media have gotten this Samsung headset and brought it to compare with the real AirPods Pro. The retail price of
Galaxy Buds Live is 179 US dollars, and it adopts a unique bean-shaped design to better fit the contour of the ear. Foreign media MacRumors said after the experience that it is very comfortable to wear for a long time, and multiple earplugs are provided in the package to facilitate users to choose according to their ear size.
Samsung equipped the Galaxy Buds Live with a 12mm drive unit, built-in 3 microphones and 1 voice pickup unit. The microphone quality has been tested in the video above.
Speaking of sound quality, the sound of Galaxy Buds Live is good (even better than AirPods), but AirPods Pro is more balanced and clear. The bass performance of Galaxy Buds Live is better, but it may make the song sound a bit muddy. The equalizer settings can be adjusted through the Galaxy Buds application, but the foreign media found that there is not much improvement in the settings.
One of the main features of Galaxy Buds Live is Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), and AirPods Pro also provides this feature. However, Live's noise reduction performance is not particularly good, at least the listening experience of foreign media MacRumors is like this.
After enabling and disabling the ANC function, MacRumors edited that there is no obvious difference, and it does not seem to block too much environmental noise. In comparison, the active noise reduction function of AirPods Pro is significantly better.
is similar to AirPods Pro, Galaxy Buds Live also provides several gestures, including one-click pause, double-click next song, triple-click previous song, etc. Users can set long press to turn on/off the active noise reduction function and activate the voice assistant Or control the voice and so on.
Galaxy Buds Live promises 8 hours of battery life, while AirPods Pro is 4.5 hours. After inserting the battery box, 21 hours of playback time were added, and Apple provided an additional 20 hours of battery life. In general, Galaxy Buds Live can provide 29 hours of battery life, while "AirPods Pro" can provide 24 hours of battery life.
