Have you worked out with those Buds Live? Do they fall out at all?
How's the sensor when pressing on them to change a song or pause it?
So basically the noise cancelation is a joke huh?
I haven't worked out in them (haven't been to the gym since the pandemic started). But when they were in my ears, I tried to see if they would fall out or get loose by shaking my head all around and leaning from side to side. They stayed in the whole time and never felt loose.
Pausing works well, when you tap on it, it registers it pretty easily. I haven't tried skipping songs yet. I have a Note 20 Ultra and it knows when the buds are in my ear. As soon as I put the first one in, it immediately sends all audio, calls, etc through the ear buds. Similarly, as soon as I take the last one out, it immediately switches everything back to the phone.
The ANC might filter out specific sounds, but for me it didn't do anything at all. Lol. All of the YouTube reviewers had the same experience.
They're probably not going to sound as good as the air pod pros and definitely won't have the air pods' level of ANC, but for the price I like the fit, sound, and call quality.
He did a pretty good comparison here:
