Galaxy Buds Live review: good beans, no compromises
The Galaxy Buds Live are Samsung’s latest true wireless earbuds and for $169.99 the Buds Live have a style all their own, well actually they share it with a damn kidney bean. But bean jokes aside, although these wireless earbuds come in a unique shape, they retain the solid hardware and audio quality we have come to expect from the galaxy line.

Who won the mic test??
AirPods. By a long shot.
Galaxy Beans by a long shot
AirPods. I wanna know when someone flushes a toilet on a conference call.
Airpods because it sounds natural not robotic!
Buds+
Becca is SUCH a good reviewer. She puts enough personal and funky stuff that makes the review refreshing and fun. And she ticks all the reviews needs. The verge found a gem.
She is literally the only reason I subscribe 😂
Her passion is so contagious, you get so excited watching this video and you can't stop because she's so excited in every single shot.
@Amir Serbilind but her name is Becca 😒
Becca is a ray of sunshine! Truly love her personability. She just seems like a fun person to hang out with. Plus excellent tech reviewer person...!
They are quite a good reviewer, almost feels like they are faking all the fun they are having while reviewing
Samsung executive to designer: The new buds should cost a kidney Designer:
I feel so bad for you if 169 is a kidney LOL
You mean *shouldn't* cost a kidney?
@@untitled795 take it as a joke
shut uuuuuuuuup that's the millionth tie someone said that ugh.
@@shlokchandak lame joke on an even lamer review, I'm alright.
Broke: "Dropping buds" Woke: "Spilling the beans"
I see what you did there 😏 🤣
I hope the Verge is paying Becca enough. She could easily make it on her own on KZhead. Excellent videos, each time
If she does the editing also, I think she really deserves praise for being the highlight of the Verge.
Fuzzy Mango use “they” it’s much more respectful if you’re unsure🙏🏻💕
@@Amyamyamy2245 I just checked her Twitter and it explicitly says (she/her) so it's good 👍

Becca's enthusiasm for... literally everything.. is quite infectious. Please give her a pay rise.
Everything other than Bixby lol
No
Feel like you might like my channel as well
Samsung didn't cal them Bean Buds. Missed oppurtunity.
A pair of those would be called bean buddies 😂
@@anmolmanchandaa You're hired!
actually they did. it was on their product page. they didn't remove it from one page.
@@anmolmanchandaa Bean Buddies is the new official name.
Galaxy Beans would have been great

Complete with stand 😌
Overused comment but I'm a simple man, I see a Verge review with Becca or Dieter, I click ASAP!
Fact
Becca's reviews are just so good. The format, the aesthetic, the presentation & the energy. It's so fun.
When I saw these in the event, I literally went "I cant wait to see Becca's review of these...oh and Marques".
TBH I have zero interest in the Beanz, but this was totally worth watching for Becca being enthusiastic and adorable!
I was WAITING for this particular review from this particular person.
@Me Too She's my trusty truly wireless headphones reviewer.
well, you're not the only one my guy
Becca and dieter should be only ones running the channel
She is amazing.
Gotta agree!
Becca and Dieter are gold. Also I feel Samsung doesn't get credit enough to be anti establishment.
Agreed.
Agreed.
Agreed
Agreeed
wdym by anti establishment
I’m starting to watch these less for the tech and more for Rebecca...

Becca killed it!
@@brucebeaver7137 Charming, charismatic, thorough. What's not to love? I thought it was fresh as hell
Me too lmao
First time watching one of your reviews. By far, one of the most chill tech reviews I've seen. Loved the way this came together. Looking forward to more of your content in the future.
Becca seems like a really cool person to be friends with
The exact opposite of some of the other verge personalities 😂
Absolutely love your review style, keep up the great work
0:22 the most BA I've seen in months 😭
Yikes
The feels.
Carla just left BA video oml
She is doing such a great job! The editing is superb, the frames, the rythme, the colors are all top notch. She covered the subject efficiently, and I really liked the mic test. But despite the technic being that good, her energy stole the whole show! ;)
He not she
Is it he or she
@@onepunchpig4726 depends what he or she wants to say
The shots in this review are just beautiful! Absolutely love the content and the way you present it
"Roll that beautiful bean footage!" Me: Finally someone used the clip! ☺️
I really enjoyed watching this review. Her smile brightens anyone up. Thank you. I'm interested in picking up the buds live but I'm hoping that price drops down a bit.
It's always fun to see Becca play with new headphones, I wish I was that cool! I do wonder about the longevity of any true wireless earbuds--speaking as a very dissatisfied owner of Sennheiser true wireless buds. I wish there could be a retrospective review of all wireless earbuds in the airpods era onward, to see how manufacturers handle firmware updates, how battery life degrades, other community issues, etc.
It should be titled "Good beans, no kidney"
@Montie exactly, no kidney
Using a Chemex to water plants. That’s a big brain move bud
Keep bringing Becca back with these reviews! Love their enthusiasm and authenticity!
I’ve grown to love Becca’s buds reviews so much I giggle with excitement whenever a new video comes out! Love her kitchen mic tests!
This is the first time I'm seeing her on verge and she got me hooked on the first video itself. Deiter and Beccamust be protected at all costs to keep The Verge running.
Amazing cinematography (did I use the correct word for this? :D) again Verge, all your videos are a joy to watch! Thanks for the review!
Me : What did it cost? Samsung : Your kidneys
😂😂
$169 is the cost of your kidney? Jesus, you must be that broke, uh?
If these buds cost your kidney than your kidneys are dirt cheap
Where do I recognize your profile picture from 🤔
@@kartikbajaj5497 Yeah. When you buy these earphones, thank my nephritis
Love these reviews! Can Bixbi be changed to the Google assistant?
Your reviews are SO good. I stumbled across your work when i was interested in the One Plus buds (thanks for saving me from that terrible mic quality). I really enjoy your style of presentation and the things you cover in your reviews.
5:13 good to know that the water didn't go to waste
Hey Becca, what’s the main camera you use? And what’s your opinion on Sony S7III now - is it still valid option in 2020?
Becca is so fun to watch! I've always loved Verge reviews, but Becca brings out an awesome freshness to the reviews which makes them fun and enjoyable while being informative. Great review!
Just as the Oneplus Buds review, this one is great too! You got yourself a good reviewer Verge
I really felt the frustration about the audio not being on at the end...
Thanks. Can you pair them with multiple devices simultaneously?
REALLY love your reviews! Congratulations on your work. They are all fantastic!
Great review! And watching Becca is pure fun and joy! 💙
was waiting for head baning test, but we don't get one TT
You’re my favorite reviewer. Been a pleasure seeing you find your groove professionally. Keep up the good work.
Your vids are great! You're such a great reviewer and they are always beautifully filmed and edited!
I actually I like how these look in the ears. More like jewelry, less like an earphone. (I hate every TWS looks, IEMs very often look much better). Though the fit and seal has to be very very first gen.
More cheesiness is what we all need in headphone reviews! Love it
The panic of overfilling was adorable. Also, love the choice of the Brooklyn Promenade as a sunset and testing spot. :)
What’s the battery life like? Watched the review but didn’t catch it if it was mentioned. Also, what functions are available as far as tapping/controls with music and calls?
I love your videos! You're my favorite reviewer
Speaking of forgetting to roll audio: I'm 99 % sure, saying "let's do one more for safety" is code for "hey, uh I might've forgotten to press record so can we do it again?"
Every time i see becca my heart skips a beat She so happy & full of positive energy all the time
Becca rocking a great review! Thanks for making this practical and enjoyable to watch through 🤙
Oh so thats why verizon had the Galaxy + buds in sale for $100 yesterday
Already preordered mine.
you can just go on the Samsung site and order it. I got mine in the mail yesterday. they're fantastic
Do the buds live stay in the ears while working out, running or do they fall off easily? I'm contemplating between the buds + & buds live
I really like how much love you put in your reviews
I've said it once, I'll say it again. Damn she's cool. I love her style of reviews.
The Verge is going to lose Becca. She has an incredible on-air presence. Side-note, Becca, you should act (if you’re not already).
She should start her own channel
Love these reviews! You can see and feel Becca‘s enthusiasm 😀
How do they compare to Apple AirPod PRO? As the one you have in the video Sreng noise cancelling
she's so cool, calm and exiting...
Is he is a she Or she is a he ? Im actually confused 😕
They're so funny can't wait for the "why I left the verge" video & launch of their own channel.
She/Her
@@ClaxtonBay123 "She" / "Her"
no offense but do you not realise how ridiculous you sound?
I love your review so much, very positive and lively vibe. Keep up the good work!
One question, is there any sound leakage from the Buds (at 50-70% volume)? I'm for open designed in-ear headphones, as long as only I can hear the sound.
I like this reviewer's quirkiness
1:57 "no compromises"
I may skip other videos on The Verge but can never skip when I see Becca on it. You are so good.
Awesome review!!! I bought a set and could not be happier. I also considered the Pixel Buds. Becca's reviews for the Pixel buds and this one the GBL helped me pick new buds for my preferences. I went with the beans. Easily the most comfortable buds I have worn. I do hope version two gets named Galaxy Beans.
Samsung, please rename these Galaxy Beans.
Noooo. Kids will eat it
when she said that they sound great, but followed that up by saying like Airpods, I lost all hope in humanity.
I don't remember you commenting anything about the mic. How's the pickup? Does it work good in noisy areas? Etc.
Yay I'm thinking of getting these so I'm looking up videos so glad to see Becca.
All the mics sound horrible 🤷🏻♂️
All Samsung buds: Battery of one bud always dies way before the other.
?Not on mine
It's a common problem with all TWS One earbud is the main earbud, so the battery on one side is decaying faster.
Not on me too
Not on my Buds+. In fact, that only happened with my 1st-gen AirPods (second gen is working perfectly, though).
Another fun review, Becca! I wasn't planning to get the Buds Live, since I'd already picked up the Buds+ for conference calls during pandemic lock-down, but now I'll have to find a way to squeeze them into my budget!
Honestly, your headphone reviews are one of my favorite video pieces on Verge. While Chances are high I won’t be moving from my AirPods Pro anytime soon, it’s really great to see and hear the other competitors out there. Also, those beans look dang comfortable in the ear.
Becca please review the Beats Flex and mic test it! Your videos are the best!
Becca is so much fun to watch! You got the high informative quality of a verge review coupled with a great radiant energy from her! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I've never watched the verge or Rebecca, but the amount of praise and kindness about her is so touching ❤️❤️❤️ thank you everyone for being so encouraging of her! And well done Rebecca for being a fabulous reviewer
Nice review, enjoyed it. Could you do a mic test with the Jabra 75t . I feel the Jabra has the best mic's of all.
Another great review from you! I cannot thank you enough for the mic test.
Lovely review, it made me excited by how Becca felt by the freshness of new tech and design
I love how Becca sounds so happy and hyped to be talkin abt the buds. I almost wanna buy the buds
Becca has become my go-to for ear bud reviews. Keep it up, Becca!
You did this so well i subed and thymbed keep up the good work looking forward to the next tech
I'm a huge fan of Becca now. She's so fun and informative at the same time.
I'm not sure when you joined the verge but your videos have a way of putting a smile on my face in a way that you don't find too often in the tech space these days! Keep up the good work!
Great review, thanks. And thanks for checking the mic quality on these buds reviews..
Hi Becca, Waiting for the review of Bose QuietComfort® Earbuds! Can't wait to see the awesome kitchen you do and compare with the rest of the products out there. Hope that is coming out soon. And your reviews are high quality, I appreciate the details you describe! Keep them coming. Thx.
Seriously Becca! Your videos are so fun to watch. You've leveled up to Dieter's content - seriously keep up the awesome work.
Why is this the first time I'm seeing this reviewer? You got that pleasing personality that not everyone has. Great job!
Loove Becca's reviews. So natural and happy person. BTW I do liked the Airpods to ride bike even though as she said the tips get on the way of the helmet strap. So I'm sooo looking forward these beans to arrive to my country to test them out.
I love your reviews Becca - they so upbeat, genuine and positive!
I’ll watch any Becca video. Such great reviews and a really wonderful energy.
Congrats @verge .. You have got an amazing reviewer. Such detailed portray of this new gadget is just wow..
can you make a review of the sony wi1000xm2?
They are really shiny ! I wonder are they easy to scratch ? I was planning to get them
The active noise canceling makes up for the no rubber tips, they sound amazing and I love them
How do you guys record audio using wireless earbuds especially on Android?
Can never get enough Becca content. Great review!!
