Introducing Galaxy Buds Live

The earbud designed to tune in to every moment. With an iconic shape and ergonomic design, a fit that lets in your natural surroundings, and a speaker optimized for a better experience. This is sound made for your ears.

A design that's unheard of

ICONIC DESIGN

The new iconic shape of true wireless earbuds

Galaxy Buds Live’s eye-catching design stands out, even inside your ear. Reflecting the curves of the ear and face for a natural look, they're polished off with a glossy finish and even come together with a jewelry box-inspired case — to fit in your hand when on the go.

Galaxy Buds Live in Mystic Bronze are shown from the sides, and as they rotate the screen zooms out to show the two together.

COLOUR

Elevate your style with glossy finishes

Available in three colourways you can't help but love. Choose from Onyx, Mystic Bronze, Mystic White, Mystic Black, Mystic Red or Mystic Blue to add a flashy touch to your look.1

There are 6 Galaxy Buds Live in different colors placed in a circle. Starting from the top going clockwise, two pairs of earbuds in Mystic Bronze and Onyx are next to each other. And then there's Onyx, Mystic Red, Mystic White, and Mystic Bronze Galaxy Buds Live cases and earbuds.

ERGONOMIC

Made for your ears

Galaxy Buds Live sit softly inside the ear, giving you a fit for all-day comfort with less fatigue. Its ergonomic design is snug yet non-intrusive with two wing tip sizes for a better fit. So, commute to the office, go to a friend's house, and more without your buds leaving your ears.

The first Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for open type on Galaxy’s true wireless buds keeps the noise out, but lets the world in. It reduces background noises without missing what’s important, like voices and announcements, so you hear more of what you want to hear — all with just a long press to turn it on.2

UL LOGO

*Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) on Galaxy Buds Live received UL Verification for cutting background noise by up to 97% in low-frequency bands.

LIVE & DEEP SOUND

Hear every sound come alive

Feel like you're in the front row, or part of something bigger. 12mm speakers with sound by AKG work together with Galaxy Buds Live's ergonomic design to deliver spacious sound, while the large driver and bass duct help emit deep bass with air flow that lets sound flow seamlessly.

CALL QUALITY

Words go through crisp and clear
