The speaker grille should face down pointing directly at your ear cavity and the rubber stopper should be on the top. Upon the first try, it might be a little confusing as to which part of the buds will face up. Samsung even did the same by avoiding wide notches on its smartphones by opting for full bezels for an entire year before making the jump directly to Infinity-V and Infinity-O notches. This isn’t the first time the Korean giant has tried to keep distance from Cupertino when it comes to design, with all of its smartwatches opting for every element that the Apple Watch doesn’t. Samsung once again tries to go as far as possible from Apple with a design that is different and borderline puzzling. The style pioneered by the AirPods in 2016 continues to remain one of the most recognisable earphone designs even today. The Mystic Bronze Buds Live can almost look like an ornament in your ears.Ĭoming to the buds, Samsung has managed to create something truly iconic here, that is equal parts fun and unique.

An LED is present both inside and outside the case to let you know about the charging status of the case, as well as of the earbuds. Charging can be done via the USB Type-C case on the back or even wirelessly. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live come in five colours - bronze, black (the ones we used in this review), white, red and blue, along with a square case in the matching shade in a glossy finish. Let’s get done with the boring stuff first.
