It's been nearly four years since the Galaxy Buds Live were launched. They were entirely different in design and fit compared to other Galaxy Buds models that the company had released. The kidney bean-shaped design was unique to these earbuds and Samsung never really made a successor.
People liked the Galaxy Buds Live because of that design since it made them extremely comfortable to wear for hours. The design also looked futuristic and stood out, making them a great option for those who wanted to stray from convention. These were also the first Galaxy earbuds to offer Active Noise Cancellation.

The Galaxy Buds Live didn't get a true successor and all of Samsung's wireless earbuds since then have iterations of the same design. That's changed in a big way this year with the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, which feature a design that has never before been utilized for the company's earbuds.
While all manner of comparisons can be drawn based on the stem design of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, what matters most is how comfortable they are to wear. Putting them on reminded me of the Galaxy Buds Live instantly, as the level of comfort is comparable, if not greater. No other Galaxy Buds model has given a similar feeling since then which is why I feel this is a great option for those who are still holding on to their Galaxy Buds Live.
Comfort aside, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are also vastly superior to the Galaxy Buds Live in every other way. The sound quality is exceptional, the call quality is on another level, Active Noise Cancellation is much better, and a whole host of features like Voice Detect, EQ, Galaxy AI, and more that don't even exist on the Buds Live. It's a no-brainer to buy these earbuds.
You might not fetch much money for the Galaxy Buds Live now since they're so outdated, but Samsung's giving you the perfect opportunity to trade them in and save a lot of money on the $249 Galaxy Buds 3 Pro in the process. If you pre-order the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro from Samsung, you get a $50 instant credit, which immediately knocks off that much from the total.
It's also giving you $75 for your Galaxy Buds Live. So combine both and your out of pocket cost for the latest Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is just $124.99. That's an incredible price to pay for new earbuds that will easily hold their own against new models for the next few years. Even if you've got a pair lying around that you don't use, it's best to take full advantage of this pre-order offer and get excellent value for money from the Galaxy Buds Live that have served you well for four years.
