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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

I did not include the presence of active noise reduction in the list of positive aspects of headphones since, in this form factor, it does not work at all, which is contrary to what the majority of purchasers undoubtedly anticipate and can be a letdown for them. When turned on, you will not be engulfed in quiet, as the vast majority of sounds will still be audible to you. This is in contrast to active noise canceling vacuum headphones. Noise reduction helps a fair amount with monotonous low noise, such as that produced by a train or a vacuum cleaner; nonetheless, headphones, although having an open design, enable you to listen to music in the subway at a volume that is two thirds of the maximum volume without experiencing discomfort. In the absence of the noise reduction that is built in, you are need to turn up the volume all the way, and the hum will still be audible. In general, the thing is helpful; but, you should not anticipate miracles from it. In addition, in order to feel the benefit of noise suppression, you need to insert the headphones deeply into the ear canal. This entirely defeats the purpose of the open design, which is why it is not available. Please find attached a photo to serve as a point of comparison, as well as instructions on how to wear it "correctly" and how to wear it in order for the noise reduction to be effective. I am at a loss for words when it comes to the sound. It's not terrible, but the songs all sound like they've been heard before. My impression is that nothing remarkable occurred here; rather, the sound was designed with the goal in mind "to sound pleasant and not cause irritation." These headphones, like with any other type of TWS, are not something you should be looking into purchasing if you are an audiophile. If you want to avoid being dissatisfied with your purchase of these headphones, it is important to first understand why you are making this purchase. If the ability to wear headphones for an extended period of time while maintaining comfort and having an open design are at the top of your priority list, I believe it makes sense to invest in these. That is to say, the headphones are ideally suited for individuals who are seeking for a device that can be used in the workplace, while walking or cycling, as well as in the house. If your usage scenario is different – for instance, you use headphones primarily in the subway for an hour in the morning and another hour in the evening – then it is highly likely that these headphones are not for you. It's not that they can't handle the kind of use that you have in mind; it's just that there are other models available that are both cheaper and superior.

Pros
  • The simplicity of its operation is the primary benefit. It is particularly remarkable that such a form factor has not been adopted in the past despite the fact that headphones fit so beautifully in the ear. Because there is no sensation that there is something foreign in the ears or that there is discomfort associated with this sensation, and also because there is no sensation that the headphones are about to fall out, you can safely put them on while cycling through the forest without worrying that you will lose an earphone in the foliage. On the other hand, wearing headphones does not result in the impression of having a "barrel" in the ears because the environment is not a vacuum, and venturing out onto the roadway is not an intimidating experience. When the box lid is opened, the headphones connect to the phone extremely quickly. I don't know whether to consider this a benefit or a given; with lesser headphones, I had to wait patiently after putting the headphones in my ears. The headphones can be used with several devices at the same time without the need to separate from one device in order to connect to another. For instance, if the headphones are linked to the phone and you want to connect them to a laptop, all you need to do is choose the headphones on the laptop and click the "Connect" button. Also, putting any earpiece into the box will cause the second one to continue playing. This is a feature that my old headphones lacked because only the "main" earpiece remained to play when the other one was removed. Very cool design; it comes in a little box (in the photo, you can see it next to a couple of other pairs of headphones that are less expensive), and the headphones themselves are very compact. Everything else about them is neat and effective. Someone makes a joke about the headphones looking like beans because of their resemblance to beans, but when worn in the ears, everything looks extremely harmonic and great. Nothing protrudes, nothing does not protrude, and wearing a hat is not compromised in any way. It is reassuring to know that the USB-C cable that comes packaged with the headphones is not an abnormally short length, as is typically the case with TWS headphones.
Cons
  • You need to understand that you can't get everything; you need to choose either convenience and lack of noise isolation, as is the case here, or noise isolation and the barrel effect, as is the case with vacuum headphones. You can't get both, so you need to choose one or the other. When I purchased it, I was aware that when the music was turned off, everything in the vicinity would be audible. I prepared myself for this beforehand. But if you take the subway frequently and require headphones that are designed for the metro particularly, it is probably best to think about purchasing vacuum ones, such as the identical Buds Plus, for example, which are also half the price. You can save a lot of money this way. You should also be attentive about the form aspect of the headphones. Due to the fact that the entire body of the headphones is stiff, and there are only two regulator nozzles, the possibility that the headphones will not suit you is higher than when purchasing ordinary headphones with ear cushions. Before you buy a pair of headphones, see if you can check them out first.
