I like these compared to the pros and plus, its nice not having any inner ear pressure once youve got the hang of how they go in your ear. Battery not as good as plus though. At low volume you can hear around you but not fully. ANC is non existent it will only quiet low hums that you didnt notice were there until there gone. Hope that makes sense. I can wear these the longest out of all three for sure though

Thanks OP. Didn't buy two sets when the Buds+ had the really good deal.

Those mentioning range, maybe you have defective units. The Buds+ I got for my wife have excellent range. She'll leave her phone in the kitchen and walk about the house without reception loss. She'll even go into the basement and upstairs. It's an 1,100 sq ft house built in the 50's.

Just want to chime in as well. I have never had those problems with the pluses I have. They seem to have decent range. Used with my note 9, tab s6, and now s7+.

I have the buds plus and these. The buds plus dont hurt my ear but these do. Left ones are ok, but right ones are really painful. Can't wear for more than 30 mins. Tried a few online videos to see how to wear as well as removing/ changing wingtips but they still hurt. Waiting on sleeves from Samsung to see if that helps with the pain. Just not made for my ear shape I guess.

how are these compared to the buds plus? I'm hating the connectivity on the plus, can't go further than 10 feet without static and them cutting out a bit.
Bluetooth 5 vs older versions on your phone.

If you're not connecting by bt 5 with the new long distance connectivity, but on bt 4 or older, range will suffer.

Like others, with bt 5 on my lg g7, a can be on the other side of a 2500sq ft home with no issues.

..

Bt runs on 2.4ghz. Home cordless phones, 2.4Ghz wifi, microwaves, wireless keyboards/mice, etc all interfere.

Turn them ALL off.
Turn off wifi router.
Turn off the pcs.
On the phone, turn off wifi.

Only bt on phone and buds.
Test.

Don't know what these people are smoking maybe your ears are getting too fat from a dozen Walgreens pizzas

These buds live are the best feeling and sounding earbuds I've ever used in my life and are the perfect companion for iPad or iPhone usage
I have the original buds and the Live, and the original sound much better :/

They sound pretty bad compared yo my koss or HD 650, but the Live don't form a seal and doing even the lightest chores (washing dishes or cooking) will overpower the sound and now I have to turn on the volume to dangerous levels.

I'm not using the Lives anymore, actually just ordered the Buds Pro to see if they are better.

I got in on this deal early after it was posted and just got them today. Very, much impressed! Volume gets wonderfully loud; bass is thumping but not overbearing; comfort is the best I've experienced compared to what's out there - it's true when they say that one can sleep with them on and not notice it. I own samsung galaxy buds, buds plus, jabra 65t and 75t. Definitely recommended.

Got these last go-round. In re:earlier questions, any old cheap pair of headphones qualifies for trade. For me, the comfort level isn't great. If you have smaller ear openings, these WILL fatigue your ears. I can use for about 30 minutes before I have to take them out.

Also, don't forget they have grip sleeves you can request for free through CS.

First time wearing these at the gym with ANC on... wow, very bad ANC . My ears hurt from the loud clanging weights across the room when ANC is trying to cancel out the sound. Makes really bad whining pitches. Low hums are gone but Otherwise, ANC is almost nonexistent.

I have XM3 Buds and wow, the sound quality (bass, treble, and ANC kills this thing).

The only reason I like these as as backup is that the XM3s are huge and goes into my ears. Whereas, these do not. The best part is you can lay down and nap or eat with them on and you won't hear yourself chewing!
