Wow....Im shocked you gave the buds pro away over these. Even on paper...the Buds Pro have deeper bass.
It's not giving away when I gave it to my wife for using them.
As I mentioned I literally don't like my ears totally blocked by ear buds.
My use case is mostly used in the gym, biking and jogging and for that purpose I don't want my ear blocked completely.

I will say... I have noticed this sometimes, too. But it seems to be *highly* variable with device.

I'm not sure what phone you were using, but for me the absolute *worst* Bluetooth performance (i.e. cutting in and out w/ phone in pocket) has actually been with my old phone (which I have repurposed as a 'podcasts' phone, since it has a 64 or 128gb microSD card in it)... a Samsung Galaxy S7.
(you'd think it'd be better, with them being 'made for one another', but no; if I had to guess, I'd say it had something to do w/ the older BT radio and/or receiver in the phone)

It's absolutely crystal clear when connected to my current phone (Google Pixel 4a), or to the iPad that I've been issued through work.

And it's also great when connected to the car stereo's Bluetooth, though that (admittedly) probably isn't a very tough test.
That was with the Galaxy 8plus. I have an s20 now so I'm going to give them a try. I'm skeptical cause I've had other buds that didn't do it.

BT range on these suck. Cut in and out with phone in your pocket.
I dunno, maybe check your phone or something cause I've definitely gone to different floors of the house with my phone on the charger and the buds in the ears with no problem. Never had any disconnecting problem with them out and about as well, had them for well over a year now.

I hope it works out for you!
(I'm ordering another pair, too, lol)

This isn't scientific, but... I would love for someone to give me 10-20 phones and 10-20 pairs of these Galaxy Buds Live, and to be able to go through and test each and every combination/permutation.

My sneaking suspicion is that it's somewhat-to-highly dependent on having a good phone-bud pairing (more so their respective BT chips/whatever), and *possibly* confounded by the possibility that maybe the QC in these buds isn't the greatest, so sometimes you just get 'a bad one'.

I mean I already knew about the ear infection caused by ear buds but I was lazy and didn't wanna go into all the details myself. 🤣🤣
I was just asking/curious because it surprised me to see someone link to my 'hometown' paper here in SlickDeals. Big Grin

I got the red. Can't wait to get new headphones. Though I should have thought of it earlier and picked it up at a best buy I was near

Most have likely already placed their orders, but you can get a Galaxy Tag for $2.74 when adding it to your cart with the Buds. Your price may be different if you don't have EPP.

Quote from richardfreak323 :
These vs the AKG N400? Which are better? I've purchased and returned so many sets of buds and can't find that perfect set. So far the AKG are the best I've tried but hurt a part of my ear. The beats studio are great but fall out my ears.
I have the AKG's now had the buds live. I like the AKG's better but the charging process is making me want to return them. You have to keep adjusting them and closing the case to make sure they disconnect from your phone. Very annoying.

I picked a different color, went through the trade in motions, then picked black again right before I added it to my cart. Added to my cart with discount, although my only checkout is Samsung financing??
