iFixit, a business understood for its tech product teardowns, has actually dissected Samsungs new Galaxy Buds Live wireless headphones. Despite not formally calling them Galaxy Beans, the word “bean” is in fact printed inside each earbud– which shows that at one point or another, the business was totally calling these earbuds the vegetables they look like.
The organization awarded Samsungs latest wireless earbuds with an eight out of 10 in repairability. Thats not surprising considering previous Galaxy Buds were some of the more repairable cordless earbuds iFixit had actually seen.
Comparing to other cordless earbuds like Apples AirPods Pro, iFixit mention the Galaxy Buds Live are not hard to pry open, and in fact a few of the simplest buds theyve ever dissected. Inside, you can plainly see “bean left” and “bean right” on the cable television that links the 2 halves of each earbud.

iFixit also discovered in the teardown that the Galaxy Buds Lives cordless charging case includes a 1.81 Wh battery, which it says is “substantially bigger than” the batteries found in wireless charging cases for both the Galaxy Buds and Buds Plus– which makes sense given Samsungs battery life claims. The business states that the Galaxy Buds Live includes approximately 29 hours of battery life when both the earbuds and charging case are completely charged, compared to 13 hours for the Galaxy Buds and 22 hours for the Galaxy Buds Plus.
iFixit also discovered that the battery is a basic size and not too challenging to change, however you will have to carefully raise up the glued motorist prior to you can pull the battery out. The Galaxy Buds Live uses a 3.7 v CP1254 lithium-ion battery, a button battery thats, sadly, tough to discover online, according to iFixit.
