Our Verdict
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live Truly Wireless
Wyze Buds Truly Wireless
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live Truly Wireless and the Wyze Βuds Truly Wireless have different strengths, and you may prefer either, depending on what you're looking for. The Samsung have an ANC feature and a significantly better noise isolation performance. They also have a much more stable fit, a longer continuous battery life, and a mic with a much better noise handling performance. On the other hand, the Wyze's mic has a significantly better recording quality. They also deliver sound more consistently. Their companion app offers a graphic EQ as well as presets for sound customization, while the Samsung's just has presets.
