Galaxy Buds Live Teardown: The Most Repairable Earbuds Yet?

Показать описание

Our Galaxy Beans giveaway has ended. Congrats to our winner, @CheapAsTech on Twitter! He guessed 720, the exact number of beans in our jar!

Samsung’s new Galaxy Buds Live (AKA Galaxy Beans) are the newest buds on the block, featuring a new open sound design, active noise cancellation, and up to 6 hours of battery life. Previous Galaxy Buds have been among the most repairable we’ve seen, so we’re curious to see what compromises their engineers may have had to make to bring this new form factor to life. Hopefully these things aren’t just full of glue.

Our Pro Tech Toolkit came in handy!

We have batteries for the original Samsung Galaxy Buds!

A few notes:
1. @0:16 those are Galaxy Buds+, not Buds Pro.

2. After filming, we learned that we have finally found replacement 1254 button-cell batteries to sell in our store! You can find them at the link in the description.

3. The reassembled buds work perfectly, and the sound quality doesn't seem to have been affected by displacing the speaker driver.

the engineering effort they put in that tiny piece of tech is mind blowing

i love how samsung embraces that they're beans

IvanTube

This is good. The fact that you can always replace a broken part on this device is a step ahead. Good job 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗴

Dang, those parts came out so cleanly and easily. They definitely didn't compromise on repairability with the new design.

I was expecting a destructive opening, and I'm really surprised to see it's not and it's actually pretty easy to open

dana

High respect to the people engineered that tiny beans

I was expecting a clean teardown but not THIS clean. These are really small yet modular on the inside.

It's pretty ironic when earbuds are becoming more repairable than phones itself lol

This video does not have the view count that it deserves, high quality tear-down and camera work as always.

I'm buying these earbuds now because of this good review

Thank you for this video! I washed and dried my earbuds in the case by accident. The buds were fine, but when I was charging the case it kept saying 0%. I took the whole case apart down to the battery and just had to reconnect the battery connection piece. Put it all back together and they work just like new!

For this Galaxy Buds+ I wasn't expecting this easy teardown, since they came out I thought they were going to be too difficult to get in. It's cool how Samsung combined advanced tech & design with an easy assemble for this high-end product. Since the beginning of the video I was starting to guess the Repairability Score (and I got it right!).
