It's average, not the best in the market, due to their fit in the ear(buds & buds + have a tighter fit that eliminates 40% of the surrounding sound) There are endless reviews done by 16m+ followers channels to validate that. On the other hand, they have a nice form factor and a very good sound, but if you're getting them for the noise cancelation as your main interest, these are not the ones. I have all 3 models(buds, buds + and live) in terms of sound they are the best. Also, the Bluetooth range is weaker, i get 3 to 5 meters more away from my phone from the older models.
i agree with bt range.. it is too short and it stutters already when im far from it. with regards to anc, i cant really compare with other brands as i just used samsung only. at any rate, im happy with the audio quality
Hello! As checked by our engineers, the ANC performance review for Buds live is very good. However, as you face the problem, we recommend you to bring the device to Samsung authorize service center to check the problem.
