Galaxy Buds Live, Mystic White and Mystic Bronze with discount program (EPP)for $70 or buy it with Galaxy watch 3 for $42.50

Quote from rtraverse : Would snatched these up if I could get this deal to work. 😭

The website is a pain - often takes calling in to get things right

I am late to the buds game, what is the difference between Buds , Buds plus, Buds Live and Buds pro in a nutshell?

Buds= 1st gen insert into ear canal
Buds+ =2nd gen longest battery life, insert into ear canal
Buds Live =3rd gen. Mild Noise cancelling. Don't insert into ear canal. Smallest. Like them for walking around.
Buds Pro =4th gen. Better Noise cancelling. Insert into ear canal but mixed ratings on fit.

this or the buds plus for about the same price?

this sounds better.

Bought these a while back and returned them the next day.
Pros- price was low when I got it on a deal... And even knowing that now I wouldn't pay that

Cons-
No noise cancelling. At all. If you're looking for any semblance of noise cancelling, look elsewhere

Sound quality is sub-par. Well lower than average. Likely due to the shape not really putting sound in the rear canal but near it

Did get uncomfortable after about an hour. The fit also tends to not stay in place due to how slippery they are

MASSIVE connection issues. One of them (right) kept going out and refused to reconnect. Then connected for a while and then disconnected.

The touch function controls stopped working altogether

Only 60 for me, Education discount + a wire headset.

I also have edu account and it shows $60 with trading in any wired head phones (have a plenty of the old ones that are lying around). So great deal!!

Each individual has a different fit. I bought both, will try and resell/return the ones i dont like.

Good deal. In for one even I don't really need another pair of earbuds. $60+tax with employee discount program and 3% cashback.

AirPods don't fit my ear because they are too small but these fit well. They are really good for call quality and I use them for WFH. The sound quality for music is meh.

Be sure to google how to get a good fit... otherwise it sounds horrible.

White & Bronze showing $60 (with EPP & trade in of any cheapo wired set). Other colors were $96. Ref code from reddit may knock it down another five percent.

Warning: do NOT read other's reviews about comfort--everyones ears are different and will be YMMV.

For me, I have bigger ears and they are super comfortable to use the entire day. I was annoyed in the beginning because in one ear they would fit perfectly but in another ear they would fall off as soon as I opened my mouth, but after a little practice I trained my arm to put them into my other ear perfectly everytime and the buds now sit in both my ears snug fit. So, I am in work meetings all day, the microphone on buds live is reliable and has great voice quality, I had a lot of issues with Microphone and voice quality on different bluetooth headsets and they would complain I would either sound like I am speaking from far away, or I am breaking up, or the microphone would pick up all the background noises and prioritize background more than my own voice.
With buds live, I have not had a single issue with my call quality which is a huge huge pro.

Few more pros: sound quality is good, not having a seal in ear canal means my ear breathes better and I can hear outside sounds (when gf comes to ask me something), also they are super light weight (much lighter than Buds) so I can sometimes forget I even have them on. Also a big pro is the case is SURPRISINGLY SMALL, these fit into shorts/pants pockets and I dont even feel the case its so small.

Cons: Annoying to put them into the case because its not intuitive to see which earphone goes into which slot because they look the same. Easy when I am taking them from ear into the case, but not easy when they are temporarily on the desk and need to put them into the case.
Another con is ANC doesn't seem to do much. I can hear my computer fan or a desk heater same volume regardless whether ANC on or off. I didn't get these for ANC so its not a big deal.
Another con is switching the device from Device A to device B. I cannot simply go to Device B and hit Connect. I have to press and hold on both buds for 3 seconds to go to temp pair mode, and then go to Device B and THEN connect.

Overall for the price these exceed my expectations and I can easily say these are the best and most comfortable (for me, YOUR MILES MAY VARY) in ear bluetooth headphones for $70 price tag.
