Review on πŸ”΄ Sleek Mystic Red Samsung Galaxy Buds Live with Active Noise Cancelling - Wireless Earbuds by Mateusz Bana ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

Because active noise cancellation in this form factor does not function at all as most consumers presumably anticipate it to and can be disappointing, I did not include it in the pros of headphones. In contrast to active noise canceling headphones, most noises are still heard when they are turned on. While headphones, despite their open design, allow you to comfortably listen to music in the train at 2/3 of the maximum volume, noise reduction saves relatively effectively from repetitious low sounds, such as a subway or a vacuum cleaner. Without the built-in noise cancellation, you have to turn up the volume all the way and the hum would still be present. Though generally useful, do not anticipate miracles from the item. Additionally, you must firmly enter the headphones into your ear canal in order to experience noise cancellation, which entirely negates the purpose of the open design. To demonstrate how to wear it "correctly" and how to wear it so that the noise reduction works, a comparison shot is attached. Concerning the sound, I'm at a loss for words. It's not bad; the sound of well-known pieces is, well, well-known. Nothing particularly noteworthy, in my opinion, as the sound was produced from the standpoint of "sounding pleasant and not causing irritation." These headphones, like any other TWS, are undoubtedly not for audiophiles. In order to avoid being dissatisfied, you need generally understand why you are purchasing these headphones. If long-term comfort when using headphones and an open design are your top priorities, I believe it makes sense to acquire them. In other words, the headphones are most suited for anyone seeking for a gadget for the office, for going for walks and rides, and for use at home. If your usage pattern differs from this, such as if you spend the most of your time using headphones in the morning and evening on the subway and then another hour in the gym, then these headphones are probably not for you. It's not that they can't manage this kind of use; rather, there are more affordable and superior models available.

Pros
  • The key benefit is simplicity of use. It is particularly remarkable that such a form factor has not been employed previously because headphones feel so beautiful on the ears. While cycling through the forest, you can put the headphones on without worrying that you'll look for an earphone among the foliage because there isn't any feeling of something foreign in the ears or the discomfort that goes along with it, nor is there any feeling that the headphones are about to fall out. The headphones do not, however, provide the impression of a "barrel" in the ears because there is no vacuum, and driving is not a fearful experience. When the box lid is opened, the headphones immediately connect to the phone; I'm not sure whether to consider this a benefit or an assumption. With less expensive headphones, I had to patiently wait after inserting the headphones into my ears. The headphones can be used with multiple devices at once without having to separate from one to connect to another. For instance, if the headphones are linked to a phone and you want to connect them to a laptop, all you have to do is choose the headphones and click "Connect" on the laptop. Additionally, the second earpiece continues to play if any earpiece is inserted into the box. I truly missed this feature in my prior headphones, where just the "main" earpiece did so. Very great design: small package (in the picture, compared to a few other, less expensive headphones), small headphones, everything is organized and professional. Although it's been said that the headphones resemble beans (they are pretty similar), everything in the ears appears to be very harmonious, great-looking, and nothing sticks out or otherwise interferes with wearing a hat. The included USB-C cord is a reasonable length rather than a stump, which is typically the case with TWS headphones.
Cons
  • However, you must realize that you cannot have everything. You must choose between convenience and a lack of noise isolation, as is the case here, or noise isolation and the barrel effect, as is the case with vacuum headphones. When I purchased it, I was prepared for the fact that everything around me would be audible when the music was turned off. However, if you frequently take the metro and need headphones designed for the subway, it's probably wiser to consider getting vacuum headphones, like the identical Buds Plus, which are also less expensive. The form factor of the headphones is another important consideration. Because the body of the headphones is hard and only has two regulator nozzles, the risk that they will not fit you is higher than it would be if you were purchasing ordinary headphones with ear pads. Before purchasing, give the headphones a try.
